There are two different versions of this song, both by Michael Rose.

One was released on a Carib Gems 7 inch, backed by Skin Flesh and Bones band.

The other was released on a Upsetter 7 inch, backed by the Upsetters and produced by Lee Perry. I think it was mislabeled as "Obserb Life".
That Upsetter tune is very hard to find.

Which one do you have, RasFelipe ?

[CARIB GEMS - CG002A] Michael Rose - Observe Life - 7 inch - D Wong - 1975
[CARIB GEMS - CG002B] Skin Flesh & Bones - Observe Life Version - 7 inch - D Wong - 1975

... there's a vers on Return Of Wax, Slappy, unfortunately the titles on the reissue are not Lee Perries own, but made up by the UK reissuers.
