Heard this track recently and want to know who it's by and where I can get a hold of it. 'Mash down Babylon/This here's Armagideon/ Ja-wa-wa-wa-wa...' Would be greatly obliged if anyone can help me locate this top Roots tune.

As todd said its on the "Wiseman" album which is also available on CD.

You can also pick it up on the "Trojan Rastafari Boxset" which has some great root tracks as is not to hard to find.

It also on the Baba Dread "Earthman Connection" CD along with the DJ version "Ethiopian Going Home". Again a CD well worth picking up.

btw, for future reference you would be better posting this type of question on the main Reggae Discussion page and not the off topic page as you are more likely to get the feedback you require.

Thanks for the leads, Dave. I appreciate them. I haven't posted on this site (or any other) before. Just crazy to hear the MDB track again and with your info, I soon will. Peace.

I've got that Baba/Zimbabwe Dread on vinyl. It's a brilliant DJ-set but I've never checked in to the original songs to the deejay next versions. From what I've understood a couple are from the Gaylads LP from the same time. Are the others from the Winston Jarrett LP?

It's a combination of The Royals, Copie Copewell, Knowledge, Winston Jarrett and The Gayladds.

I'll give you specifics when I get a chance.
