Got this one, it a great early eighties album with some real strong tracks
"Lagos Rock" and "Rocking Vibration" are superb.

I was lucky enough to find it in a small recordshop in Amsterdam back in the 80's. I've seen it once (in my own collection, but have never seen a second copy myself.
So to me, it seems pretty rare.

And I'm pretty sure I've seen several other copies this year on ebay..

don't forget it's holiday season in Europe.... I bought some pretty rare stuff myself this month for bargain prices....
And if it was really rare the start-price would probably be much higher ( like the same seller did on several other records... )

This U Roy LP is really rock solid. I like it more than any other U Roy Tony Robinson produced LP!
Highly recommended rockers music!

never seen this album in all my years of professional dealing with reggae music.
althought i'm not a big TR fan, i would love to hear 'Mr Branson ran away with the ransom'
it has to be in the same vain as perry's 'Judgement Inna Babylon'

If you have the opportunity to get it, do not hesitate !
Really good LP featuring some version of unreleased Gladiators tracks.

Upon it's release this one wasn't rare at all, there were plenty copies around. One of the very few original records that I resold quite immediately back then. What a weak and boring performance compared to all U Roy's earlier works.
