The only two I have are those on Moa Ambessa from 1982.
Never knew Delton Screechie had ever released an album on Cornerstone label
Are you sure is the Corner Stone label?
Although Frankie Paul did have an album on Corner Stone called "Early Days". Not a chance its this one?

yeah corner stone.
i believe corner stone and roots tradition are the same.
roots tradition does "early days" records and so does corner stone.

the majority of cornerstone represses suck. poor quality and often filled with pressing defects.

yeah i agree about bad presses!! i know Deltons - "Kingston Town" was recently available as a corner stone 7" & "Gunshop" by Hugh Mikes was also , under the title "Lock Up The Gun Shop" . the A side of this was ok but B side unplayable.

Delton is a singer.
There's a deejay by the name of Screechie Nice though if you got the Screechers mixed up.

Hugh Mike is a DJ too. You can listen to that LP here:
http://www.juno.co.uk/products/338392-01.htm
It seems that he is not an "old DJ" from the 80's but a new one (..never heard of him before?) doing the vintage riddims from back in the days. His toasting-style doesn't sound like early 80's, right?
