i picked up "U-Roy Meets King Tubbys" (AttackCD13), and i am blown away by what i have heard... track 6 is called "heavy duty" and is a really bright and bubbly festival song - reminds me of "rent man" by max romeo... what is the original track? it's GREAT! the cd (all vinyl transfers) is really amazing - but goes from THUNDEROUS lows and PIERCING highs to low volume, highly compressed... the lack of any liner notes (boo, hiss!) are a minus, but give it a chance - listen to it on amazon.com...
thanks in advance for any help with the track!

One Nation, under JAH!

"Heavy Duty" is on Jackie Edwards' "This Is Another Festival" rhythm, released on Grounation 7 inch.

"Jump For Joy" is based on Johnny Clarke's "Joyfull Festival".
