I was wondering if anyone has an opinion if "You're Mine" by Unforgettables on Silver Stars produced by J Pennant is a lee perry engineered track?

... okay thats an exellent call Slappy,
Bertel Ellis was one of the first Ark regulars, taking up tunes there late '73 to early '74, all supervised (Le Perry always had a strong inclination of teaching/showing other producers how it's done ...) by The Upsetter, recording a total of at least 8 (!) vocals, 90% of which were released on Silver Stars and backed by The Gladiators, who could be called Upsetters at the time ...
to mention the sole one that isnt Ark: Some Kind Of Sign by Prodigal on Silver Star (singular); the others all are. ;)
