I have been looking these songs from the early eighties can someone please help me

1) Sugar Minnott - Jah is on My Mind ( this song came of before 1984 I think it goes to the same rhythm as "Talk about Love" by Campbell and Undercover Lover...

2) Too laba Laba - I was told the song is by Danny Mangaroo... I remember it use to play around the times as 4 wheel wheely, learn fi drive and I remember there also had a dubover that I would also love to find....

3) Cease Fire by Michael Prophet... I remember this being on an orange record 45. It was to play around the times of Fire them a muss muss by Frankie Paul

4)Natty Dreadlock na Run competition...it had a nursery rhyme in it about poor people this one is for you have so many children then there was another track on the rhythm.... Stop spreading Rumors dont remember the artist.

1) might as well be 'Jah is on my side' from the 'Rydim' album, released on Powerhouse and Greensleves and still to be found.
3) see the album with the same title, came on Move Records and later on Live & Learn Records. Not sure if this is still available somewhere.
Sorry, can't help on the others, though 'Too labba labba' is quite familiar, but from older material...
Greetings
