when these were getting reissued a few years ago i was deep in the midst of a heavy rocksteady and skinhead reggae buying phase, so i didn't manage to pick up any of these. but i am coming back around to the heavy sounds again and am interested in the complete list that got reissued on 12" vinyl.
one note: i recently picked up eek a mouse's "noah's ark" 12 inch and am GREATLY disappointed that they cut the tune half way through, they omitted nearly the entire scientist dub workout!! terrible! did any of the other reissues get this edited treatment? the flip is a flick wilson tune that i wasn't previously familiar with and it's great, but i suspect it was also cut short.

Just picked up the Noah's Ark 12" as well and am absolutely disappointed as well. This is a big disgrace! Why cut out the Scientist dub-versions, WHY??
The other Greensleevees reissues I own are fine, does anyone know if there exists a repress of Noah's Ark which isn't messed up?

What's the point in releasing a 12" if you just put an edited single version on it? Maybe Greensleeves and Scientist have legal problems again? Or maybe they were pissed at him and didn't wanna "give him the platform".

Did Scientist win his court case against Greensleeves and get the rights back in the end? I notice that all his work (albums at least) on that label is out of print and he's offered it up for download on his own site...

No, he lost the court cases, because according to the judge, a mixing engineer can never be the artist of an album, only a producer or singer or band can. But people buy Scientist stuff because it is mixed by him, he is the artist imho.

That ruling was so stupid it's ridiculous. Is there anywhere one can read the court documents?

That only prooves that the judge didn't have a clue what he's talking about
