Does anyone have a track listing for the JA version of *The Good The Bad & The Upsetters*?

I don't seem to have it listed on my website and Ron's site only has the UK version (or at least that's all I could find there).

It was my understanding that there was only a UK version of this LP and that it was hastily thrown together after the Upsetters had a UK hit with "Return Of Django". And yet this auction reveals that there was a JA version:

It seems Perry put this out in the UK sleeve with stickered track listing.
The UK LP had nothing to do with Lee Perry at all, I think.

Thanks, Blackarkrock. Someone was asking, and I was drawing a blank. Don't know why this isn't in my Scratch discography, so I'll have to add it. Better yet, track down a copy of the LP!

Yes, the UK-LP (Trojan TBL 119) had nothing to do with Lee Perry. Despite the title these two are different records.

I recall that Lee Perry once said this is the album with which he was most unsatisfied.
