I am also very interested in hearing opinions on this one. It is widely available where I live and have thought about buying on many occasions.

Hello .
i have this album and all the songs are very good pure roots reggae i think is re-press now, 2 years ago was a hard to find album.
i love this album just because i collect any item with culture but the 2 others band are (i know you know) remarcable 80's roots reggae sound but i think some of the tracks are recorded at the end of the 70's pretty sure of that.
good luck hope you enyoit

I have it on Silver Camel, which is the original pressing. It is proper drum and bass dub at it's Scientific (but pre-digital) best.
Worth getting.

Greetings Leggo Rocker.
Are you sure you talking about the right LP. I have dis one on SonicSound which I thought was the original pressing.
Its also roots vocal and not dub as you say.

Rootsman,

Turn me loose, Ethiopia Is Calling & Rastaman A Come are great tracks.

All the best.

Ooops!
OK, I see why the confusion:
I have this:
http://www.roots-archives.com/release/1250
but NOT this:
http://www.roots-archives.com/release/1256
same title, completely different LP!

Hi Leggo,
Never mind Leggo, were all human. I saw what you wrote earlier and to be honest I was a bit confused as I knew it was Roots and Not Dub (But you usually seem to know what your talking about)
Anyway guys, thanks for the heads up on the album, I shall purchase and hopefully like as much as yourselves.
Respect
Dave

Maybe I also need to purchase the 'other' Three the Hard Way!
Maybe I do know what I am talking about, but only because I am usually careful to only talk about what I know.
But compared to some on this site, I know nothing, bugger all, zilch.
I kneel before the knowledge on this site, it amazes me, stuns me.
respect to the brothers who REALLY know their stuff here!
