besides "take we back" were there any other root singles that they made becuase that song was very crucial and i was wondering if there were other crucial singles recorded by them ?

Back Out on Conflict label is a fine cut of this song.

I would say that 'They Don't Know Jah' is a crucial Wailing Souls single (12" on Greensleeves 1982).

Bredda Gravalicious on the Massive label.

Very Well on the Channel One label.

Jah Give Us Life Don't Feel No Way on the Channel One label.

War on the Channel One label.

Take we back is 80's sound but if you like 70's roots check dis: LP: http://www.roots-archives.com/release/2978

It's a recent studio One release (with ugly cover) but contains wicked 70's previously unreleased roots material!!

Hard to find: Matsimela (=Wailing Souls) - LIBERTY on Makossa (NY label)a tuff 70's roots tune released for unknown reason in New York...

They Dont know Jah (12" Greensleeves) as proposed by goldfinger is definitively a crucial choice...


Respects

The album Square deal is just Pipe & Bread of the Wailing Souls.
Studio One recordings in the late '90 over old rydims.
The Studio One classics are The wailing Souls & Soul and power lp's.

And 7" 12" versions at Channel One pressuresound 42.

Lion

I really think there's some exclusive 70s stuff on this LP and not only 90s revoicing... anyway... try "Kingdom Rise & Kingdom Fall" on Greensleevs 12" another crucial early dancehall bringing their voice to the tuffest...

ok besides songs that were on albums like "take we back" wasnt in any album do u know any other singles that werent placed on albums but are as crucial as "take we back" ?

Bredda Gravilicous 7" on the Massive label because it has a different dub mix then found on the wild suspence LP.

There's another mix of Bredda Gravilicous on a UK Taxi 12"
