Alton Ellis & The Heptones

Post by kandi »

Hi,

I have recently fallen in love with Alton Ellis.I like his voice especially from the tune 'Humble Will Stumble'.Listening to some Heptones dub album,i stumbled into its dub version called 'Higher grade dub'.Now,was this tune ever released as single (7'or 12')?Who were the backing band?The radics,The Revs or Aggrovs?The tune is just superb,heavy and sounds Channel one product.Any info?
