some tunes versioned on this superb set are

"Sweet Africa" Earth and Stone, not released on album I think only on Cha Cha 12".
"Brandy" by John Holt. Also credited as "Branded". A search on Roots Archives will tell you on which album it appears.
"Majority Rule" by Jimmy Riley, if I'm not mistaken. Also appears on albums. A dub can be found on "Aggrovators meets Revolutionaries album"
"Trying To Wreck Up My Life" AKA "I Don't Like It" by Leroy Smart. I think it's also on some album. A DJ version exists by Trinity "Trial and Crosses", and the original to this riddim is "Give Me The Right" by the Heptones
"Rush me No Badness" by Errol Dunkley, I think it only came on 45.

Sweet africa was released on a rare Cha Cha compilation album...
Various Artist - roots & culture (1983, not listed here on RA ) you can find it on the tapir site though..
