Has anyone got a track called Happy anniversary by Gregory Isaacs ?

On the Lonely Lover LP on African Museum label

Is there somewhere i can buy it as a download on line.

I don't think this one is avaibalable. Nevertheless there are some repress on African Museum and the UK original press on PRE label is far from hard to find. If you listen to LP you will find it quickly.

The Lonely Lover LP always sells very cheaply on eBay. Possibly because it is not the best of Gregory's output.

I would strongly disagree - it is definitely one of the best albums he has done, and should be made available.

An mp3 of the dub to Happy Aniversary on this page, if you scroll down - www.discemail.fsnet.co.uk/discs.htm

Thank you Rob. I to think that lp is a master piece I cant understand why the people who do the re issues have never put that track on an album. With tracks like Im sorry, Tribute to wa de, Tune in, Proctection all from that lp I dont no how anyone could disagree with the fact that lp is one of the most under rated GI LPS.

Yes, thank you Rob.

Gregory is the very best reggae singer ever, this album, as said above, is tremendous, and most of his stuff is excellent.modern stuff is deteriorating as he gets old though

I got it on a (I think, it's in the attic along with many others) Cash and Carry 7" around the time my first marriage was breaking up and a nice bitter lyric it is too, just the sort of thing if you're in the mood! Maybe not the sort of thing to play in the company of your current partner though.
