Ok breadrin i know that some of these tunes are sung by Junior Murvin.I had a cassette and enjoyed it so much but it has been lost over time.The first songs start with i think maybe Lee Perry but not sure it starts "A time to reep and a time to sow"i think and later it says"The knife that stick the sheep a gownna stick the goat","How you gonna feel when the knife is at your throat"then the following song is the same version but a different artist wich starts "This is the natty dread chant".Another song is a vocal and dub version as one with vocal first"Norman the gambler rides around in a rambler","Occupation house master"and carries on eventually into dub.Next are songs by Junior Murvin wich the first begins as "Police and ? fighting the nation with guns and ammunition"then the following song is a instrumental version of the song i think with a type of trumpet or trombone.Ok then a third version of the song begins but sung by another artist singing "Rasta stay far babylon and his soldiers at war" and then "Police shoot down soldier and soldier a shoot down police" and the chorus is "War in the city,war in a South Africa and war in a Rhodesia" the next song is a fourth version of this song but in dub.Then the next song is Junior Murvin`s song "Bad Weed".I think that these tunes are all from one album a sort of compilation i don`t know maybe titled "Rub A Dub" but not sure, please breadrin if anyone knows.

All these songs can be found on the 3 disc Lee Scratch Perry "Arkology" box set.

And that's a great package of Lee Perry Productions.
