I like to spin this tune along side 'Jubilation - Bunny Lion' & 'Natty Dread Is A Struggler - Ranking Dread'.
My question is 'Is it really Barrington Levy & jah Thomas'on the vocals? as indicated here
http://www.roots-archives.com/release/2755
The voice sounds like L Thompson.This is my first time i failed to identify B.Levy rightaway.
Any corrections,may be?
Love

Same here, only Barry Brown version known to me.
That track on "Haul and Pull Up" is misredited on RA as that is the Barry Brown "Mr CID" on that album

The original 12" on the Attack label TACK 17 is sung by Barry Brown, written and prouduced by Linval Thompson.

The singer on Mr. C.I.D. is supposed to be a singer named Bunny Lie Lie. His voice is very similar to Linval Thompson's. Definitely not Barry neither Barrington.

Bunny Lie Lie wasn't credited apparently.
I worked with him and see him regularly in Brixton (where he still lives).
