I got the Greensleeves 12" (GRED 152) which says "War Deh Round A John Shop (complete Remix) which has the guitar on it, followed by a Scientist dub-version also with the guitar.
I believe on the "Stranded" LP is the same version, but I don't own it, can anyone confirm this?
Also I got a MP3 which is without the guitar and I'm looking for that version. Does anybody know where and how this version was released?
Bless, nilo

I remember David Rodigan playing the original 7" back in the days and I had it on a tape from long time ago.
This one had no guitar or other overdubs and is on the Wailing Souls' own Massive label.

Yes, that's it! Thanks a lot, made my day!

Man I hate this guitar, it ruines the whole track for me. Same with Wayne Jarretts version of Every tongue shall tell for Wackies. I don't wanna upset the punkrock fans... I guess "distorted"(?) guitars just don't do it for me.

Back in the 90s Sublime covered the song (Pawn Shop). Obviously their version is with the guitar, but in their case it works fine (probably because they didn't "add" the guitar later).
Not a great fan of Reggae-guitar-overdubs either..

on the stranded 'LP there is the guitar, you only can find this track without the guitar on "the very best of wailing souls " album realised by Greensleve/schanachie
