I heard that in the 70's some time J Osbourne moved to Canada were he sang lead for the two albums.

yeah, they are a Canadian group. the second album listed in these archives credits vocals among others to Johnny Osbourne. I read that he moved to Canada to join Ishan People in some liner notes, maybe Truth and Rights.

Yes Collieman, its a nice band i checked it and won't be disapointed !
On the reggae sun album, johnny osbourne sang 4 songs.
"Inflation " is also on a johnny osbourn album called "warrior" but it's a different version.

Reggae Sun is the same album as the Ishan People Album not sure why they have different names, maybe re-released, they also did an album called Roots. All worth checking, pretty good band.
