Black Oney is mid to late 70's I'm thinking. Incredible song. Prince Junior must be early to mid 80's and was a popular selection for Shaka on the original 12" release. For me the gem of the bunch. Ghetto Connection I've yet to hear.

Black Oney - 1975 JA, re-rel. ~1980 NYC
Prince Junior - 1980, NYC (rec in JA)
Ghetto Connection - 1978 (rec in JA, rel in JA & NY)

Sluggy - ghetto youth 1990. rec & rel NYC
Sluggy - cocaine/nitty gritty - dollars - rec. & rel. NYC, 1992


SHORTY DIAMOND RIP

if it means anything to you, the Prince Junior tune and the Sluggy - ghetto youth were both run by Jah Shaka at the time of release and beyond...

Thanks for the replys guyS
