there is a single from a guy i have never before listened to and never after that single,called lester lewis'"i man free'and'nyah'.who have heard about that man lester lewis.it seems to me that the record came around 1976 or 1978 judjing by the mix.
carlton performed on an album which was not that much promoted.an album by a japanese called joe yamanaka who recorded with the wailers around 1982 the same period as justin hinds'travel with love' and lulu and donald.a very good album
