Do you know other cuts ?

He was also known as Scunna Ruddock. He recorded Genuine Way for Roy Cousins, which can be found on Herb Dust, Volume 1, on the Kingdom label. He reputedly recorded it the day before emigrating to the USA.

It isn't Lloyd Scunna Ruddock singing on it however. RB asked him if it was him and the man himself refuted the claim.

This one cries out to be reissued. What a wonderful song. It reminds me in a way of Nicodemus' and Blacka Morwell's brother who sang »When Jah Come« -- two solemn tributes to Selassie.

Another mystery in reggae music.

The thing with the melodica tune is that Sir Harry receided some tunes from other people to release on his own label (like Bobby Kalphat's "Rock All Rock" also released on Soul Sounds label).
On the other side, there's Sir Harry and Jah Woosh " Way Down West" which has got a different rhythm.Perharps "Difendon Version" is not a Sir Harry production and was released on another label with a vocal or dub version.

My dream comes true.

They left off Big Joe's Weed Specialist.

as the website states, "weed specialist" and "just been feeling bad" will be released in a couple months.

the ivaders tune is wonderful! i'd love to own this track.
