I have yet another mission for the human-roots-encyclopedias of the world:

I downloaded 'Mafia and Fluxy presents Barry Brown, Reggae Heights' from emusic.com and it seems to me that the track names are wrong for some of the songs. Some are obvious M&F variations of classic Barry Brown songs.

For example, track 10, 'Selah,' is a version of 'Give Thanks & Praises' but if you listen to track 6 entitled 'Give Thanks' its clearly a variation of 'Big Pollution.'

Here is a link to the 30 second samples so you can hear for yourself:
[Mafia and Fluxy Presents Barry Brown](http://www.emusic.com/album/Barry-Brown ... 98615.html)

I'm *assuming* these track names are mistakes and am wondering if anyone could verify the actual track listing?

Also, does anyone know if this occurs on the actual CD/LP? Or has emusic mixed up the track names?

Thanks for the help!

here the track listing cd.

1. Can't Live Like This ; 2. A Helping Hand ; 3. Step It Up ; 4. Jah Jah Children ; 5. Party Night ; 6. Give Thanks ; 7. Jah Love ; 8. Youthman ; 9. True Love ; 10. Selah ; 11. Dub Up Pollution ; 12. Jah Jah Dub ; 13. Can't Dub Like This ; 14. A Helping Dub ; 15. Dub It Up ; 16. Selah In Dub ; 17. Youthman In Dub ; 18. Pollution

It's normal to change names of the song see UK lp/Ja lp/USA lp.

Maffia & Fluxy relicks the rydims under the orginal songs of Barry Brown.
The same way Sly & Robbie did ina the '80.
Update to the sound of now.

Thanks for the response Lion!

I don't think I made myself clear, though.

I realize M&F will change the names of the updated songs *but* the songs listed on [emusic.com](http://www.emusic.com/album/Barry-Brown ... 98615.html) seem mixed up (cue The Gladiators;)). So I think emusic has their stuff wrong, and I'm curious as to whether the actual CD/LP has the same track name mix-up (Mix-Up!)?

Here is a blow by blow of what I'm thinking for the emusic.com track names:

#1 *Can't Live Like This* is correct
#2 *A Helping Hand* is mislabelled and is actually *Selah*
#3 *Step It Up* is correct
#4 *Jah Jah Children* is mislabelled and may be *True Love*(?)
#5 *Party Night* is mislabelled and is actually *A Helping Hand*
#6 *Give Thanks* is mislabelled and is actually *Pollution*
#7 *Jah Love* is actually *Jah Jah Children*
#8 *Youthman* is actually *Jah Love*
#9 *true Love* is actually *Youthman*
#10 *Selah* is actually *Give Thanks*
#11 *Dub Up Pollution* is actually *True Love*(?)
#12 *Jah Jah Dub* is correct
#13 *Can't Dub Like This* is correct
#14 *A Helping Dub* is correct
#15 *Dub It Up* is correct
#16 *Selah In Dub* is correct
#17 *Youthman In Dub* is correct
#18 *Pollution* is actually *Dub Up Pollution*


What do the reggae-ologists think?

Thanks again,

If i see the track listing of the cd and yours it's the same.

Mix up is from the lp/cd release that can happend.

This isn't all that unusual... see the CD issue of "Africa Must Be Free by 1983 + Dub" in which the names given to the dubs are in the wrong order. It's annoying, but not unheard of for these mix-ups to happen.

I have this disc and it is mis-labelled. Funny thing is when you put it on Realplayer the correct names pop up.

Selector J your guesses of the correct names were dead-on except:

4. Party Time

Tracks 2 and 16 are actually called:
Fittest of the Fittest and Fittest Dub (which you have called Selah but it is the same song)

You are correct that 11 is True Love

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the help, JA!
