Anyone know any others besides the ones listed below? I want to make a playlist of songs originally done with another producer and then remade with Lee Perry. There's got to be a bunch of others I am overlooking. Any help is appreciated.
Heptones- I am lonely/crying over you
Heptones- Party time
Heptones- Why must I
Silvertones- Financial crisis

I'm not a Perry buff so I don't know that many obvious one but one at least is Lord Creator - Such Is Life (Seven Leaves 12"). A beautiful remake of the original.

Ron,
What is the original for All the love i've got? Who produced/what studio? I only know of his version on Super 8.
Was George's orig of To be a lover done with another producer? I thought the Chenley Duffus version was the orig reggae version and George Faith just did a bunch of versions. ??
Kalcidis,
Never heard the orig for Such is life. Just listened to it on Youtube. Killer! Perry's version is one of my all time favorites.

I must say, I am not sure, but there's a Count Shelly version of 'All The Love I've Got'.
The 'To Be a Lover' version I'm even less sure off. Ha
