so guys, i got a copy of blake boy-cambodia on harry j's 7 inch, and the b side is simply named as version, it is a instrumental tune but not from cambodia. its a digi dancehall version probably newer than 1980

this is just a picture from the record

anyone with more info about this one?

very likely just a dodgy JA repress, like so many over the past 10-15 years or so...

you see it on all kinds of labels, if the guilty party doing the pressing doesn't have the right stamper for the correct version that goes with the battered old stamper for the A side, then God only knows what winds up on the B side.

and usually the artwork isn't quite the same as the original, or doesn't look as crisp. and since many times old stampers are reused, more surface noise and poor sound.

there are loads of represses like that out there, caveat emptor.
