The Wackies list on this website has a link to a great Wackies discog I've used many times.
However, I've just noticed that it has two entries for one LP:
Cat number W295 is listed both as
Bullwackie's All Stars March Down Babylon
and Prince Douglas Dub Roots (as I know it)
Is this a mistake or was this LP issued under a different title at an earlier, or later stage?

Re: Wackies Question
Imo this is yet another error traded through the times. My personal theory is that some early pressings had no cover or a white cover coming with it. On original release the label has no reference on artist or title of the album but is made of a printed Wackies label with the tracks 'stamped' on it. So someone started calling this 'March down Babylon' and it stuck.
[cover=8430,2178]
If you look it up in Herman Moter's Reggae Discography (first published in 1983) you will find the same entry under Bullwackies. Afterwards everybody who was putting together lists was just sticking to it and developing a false information from one generation to the next.
Oh and btw, looking at that listing you are mentioning Leggo, that 'Jam Love Dub' doesn't exist too, it's just the first track from the 'Dub Roots' album. Same thing happened again
Same thing goes for the appearance of 'Black World' and 'Black World Dubwise' coming up every now and then in some sort of listings which made some people believe one was the vocal companion to the dub (or vice versa).
[cover=3794,563][cover=456,563]
Long may Wackies rule!

Re: Wackies Question
Cool.
I'll check that mix, leggo.
A track that I've been deeply into lately is Love Joys' "All I can say".
The longer version from the "Lovers Rock" LP, as opposed to the Wackies sampler version.
Something about the way the keys sound ever-so-slightly out of tune and wavy.
Such a deep and laid-back groove.
