Are these two LPs the same but different pressings?
I have them both, and am trying to work out of one is in fact the same as the other???

But I am so old and stupid, even after playing them back to back, I can't decide. I guess I should load them up one on each deck and play through track by track to compare!

Seems both are versions of Johnnie Clarke's BRILLIANT Girl I love You (aka: Dread Natty Congo)

Help!

Is it perhaps that one is vocal followed by dub (Ranking Dillinger - Non Stop Disco Style)

and the other is vocal side A and dub side B
(Ranking Dellinger - Superstar)

???

I'm quite sure that these two are the same >

Talkin' Blues (Magnum IS the first press ever): http://www.roots-archives.com/release/1884

Superstar : http://www.roots-archives.com/release/1503

Don't know for the Clocketower one.

The Magnum pressing has vocals followed by dubs and the Weed Beat pressing vocals on A side and dubs on B side.

A lkiller LP IMHO, mostly Dillinger's cut to J Clarke tunes prioduced by B Lee.

I say the same way as Wareika.

I have Talkin Blues on Magnum on the way. When it arrives I'll lock myself in a room and play all three one track at a time until I am sure what is what here.

Agree with both previous posts though, this Dillinger over Johnnie Clarke / Bunny Lee material is simply too good to miss.

Sadly, there is some other Dillinger material which, for me at least, are very far below this standard!

my copy is on the surprise label [ i believe it's a french press]

and another pressing on a green jamaica sounds label [Distrubuted through RCA/VICTOR]
