"Don't bite the hand" b/w its version is a 10" release on the english Simba label from 1981. Produced and backed by the (then) mighty Aswad.
It's not available on any other format but pops up every now and then on ebay.
Happy hunting

check out these other tunes on the Simba label - all Aswad tunes or productions.

about time someone gave the tunes on this label the re-issue treatment !!?
also you will find that many singles and lp's released on the Grove Muzic label have a heavy Aswad influence - Tony Tuff album "Tuff Selection" is backed by Aswad. check out Tapirs site for more info....
these tunes from Aswad - all killers in my opinion:
Jah Shaka meets Aswad in Addis Ababa - LP
Hey Jah Children (from Babylon soundtrack)
Carry Us Beyond (credited as Human Cargo but is actually Aswad)
Unsatisfied - 10"
Oh Jah Dub - 10"

It seems like the simba label got some pots of gold.It Would be good to know all the singers that got their music play by this awsome band Aswad.
Thanks for the info i will look into it
