question about the Ras Michael LP "Rastafari"

Post by LaTR0T' »

Greetings

I have a question about the Ras Michael & The Sons Of Negus LP called "Rastafari". On the original release there is a song called "On Broadway" (A-side/track 4). This song doesn't appear on the other releases of this LP but there is a song called "In Zion".

Are these two songs the same?

Not sure but I think that the are. "On Broadway" is an old Drifters R&B tune. I think they kept the melody and just the words "On BWay" to "In Zion". Though I may be thinking of a diffrent tune, I Think this is the one

On later releases not only was this song retitled but the whole track order was changed.

On which release the tune is list as "On Broadway"?

I have this LP on the Rastafari label (Jam original press). It comes with a UK printed cover (the Grounation one). The tune is listed as "In Zion" on the cover and the label.

The track order is not the same on the cover and the label/disc. I assume the jam stamper was created with a diff track order and was used for the later jam reissues (Top Ranking label if memory is good).

BTW what is the original UK label for this LP? Grounation or Vulcan?
