Greetings!
Does any brethren know if there is a Dub version to the excellent Diamonds track, "Talk About It"? The version by U-Roy & The Children, Yama-Khy, is excellent, but I'm looking for the Dub version, or maybe other instrumental version. Many Thanks!!
Roots,
Jah Chicken

As far as I know there are 3 or 4 different 7 inches on the "Talk About It" riddim.
Two singles by The Diamonds were released in 1974. Both copies I've seen have identical labels on A & B side.
One of the copies is the same as the version on the album ['Open The Gate'](

The other copy is a different mix, unfortunately the flipside has yet another vocal mix. So no plain rhythm here as well.
Then of course there is the U-Roy track "Yama-Khy" credited to 'U-Roy and the Children'.
You will find a completely different vocal mix by U Roy on the album ['Cutting Razor'](
