Do someone know when the tracks 1, 4, 6, 7, 10 and 12 of this compilation were recorded and in which label/s where they originally released? Thanks in advance

Wasn't "Forward On A Yard" released previous to 1975? I had read the info relative to the tafari single in algoriddim, but listening the song the instrumental reminds me the lee perry productions. In other words, if this song contains the barrett brothers on it and was recorded in 74/75, shouldn't it sound more sophisticated instrumentally (as for example songs like In the rain by keith hudson, I admire you by Larry Marshall, etc) and not with this basic rhythm? On the other hand, this LP was announced as THE HEPTONES & WAILERS, and i doubt about the presence of at least carly in Jah Pon A Pinacle and Garden of Life. Anyway, I love the intro and the rhythm of Jah Pon A Pinacle and also the keyboard melody in our day will come (reminds me in part the song dream lover by Horace Andy instrumentally). Thanks for your help.

There is a difference between when recorded and when released in a lot of tunes.

To me it sounds like a '73 recording, certainly not much later. Though it seems like it's been released around '75, according to my information.

Listening now the instrumental version of forward on a yard and trying to find something characteristical in the instruments to relate it directly to a period which is already known, i know some of you will be laughing when reading it, i would say that the rhythm guitar sounds very similar to bunny's pass it on perry/tuff gong production and also if you listen one of the few carlie's drumbeats in the song (exactly minute 02:48), you find that this style of drumming was also used in black progress. Thanks for the help.
