I was starting to repeat myself due to this spilling over several pages, so I'm combining these all into one post. (Its very possible that I may not be right on these, so I've started putting the evidence I see.)

Interesting, which version of their names would you go with if you had to choose though, these are typical mistakes found on vinyl

I'll leave that decision to the experts at roots-archives.

To mine opinion and to make it more confusing:

http://www.roots-archives.com/artist/1783

is

http://www.roots-archives.com/artist/548

and of course

http://www.roots-archives.com/artist/2174

of course only referring to the name Clive Smith http://www.roots-archives.com/artist/1783

Latty Gourzong is credited on both albums, this should be changed @ http://www.roots-archives.com/release/1474.
Thanks Algoriddim.

http://www.roots-archives.com/artist/1187
and
http://www.roots-archives.com/artist/2705

btw "Anthony Creary - Land Call´ Africa" is recorded at the Black Ark. I guess Coxsone never used Blk Ark studios? So it can't be Coxsone prod.

Thanks to whoever cleaned that up.

Well that should give you guys something to work on for your next DB update.
