Ras Tafari seated upon his throne"

Fantastic album. I actually prefer the album mix next to the 12" mix.

Lion, I can't remenber the Freddy McKay lyrics. But from memory, the main line is:
"There is a picture *hanging* on the wall"
The quote from jomo is "*in my house* there is a picture on the wall".
The McKay don't have the "in my house" part and have "hanging on the wall".
The Natural Ites one have the "in my house" part at the begining and no "hanging".
It's always hard to tell with only a line from the text, but IMO jomo looks for the Natural Ites one...
The freddy McKay is of course a classic total killer. Well, IMO of course...
