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?

On the Mr Ska beana album

Search for heptones or Alton on this website

Great album, I think mackasound re released it recently so you can get it quite easily

That song is on 4 albums that i know of:

Alton Ellis & The Heptones - 'Mr Scabeana' - Cha Cha LP (1981)
