[pisces]

ansa to jr reid recording minibus driver after. well voice of progress, was junior's 1st group, at that time he went by the name of junior progress. the tune mini bus driver was made after these tunes.

1. speak the truth
2. run come in the dance (intro only for jah levi aka hugh mundell)
3. know myself
(between this time period, jr. lost mentor h. mundell to a gunshot to the head. jr. was in the car at the time when mundell get shoot in the head). so from this time he had no guidance, but knew life must go on. it wasn't until junior met up with the palmer brother's who owned the negus roots label, when they came to JA. they themselves were at one time local residents of waterhouse, kingston 11, as was junior. so from this time period. junior recorded this for UK's negus roots label.
