Could someone tell the man what Gregory Isaacs tracks feature on Best Dressed Chicken. Gimme my Gun and i think there is another. I would like to know the track names and what Gregory album these are on.

Thanks bredda's

Hi king g, Gimme My Gun samples "Thief A Man", which is found on a few greatest hits compilations. Search the archives for the song title.

I did some more listening. "Unitone Skank" also features a Gregory Isaacs song. This time it is "My Religion" from the Extra Classic album (like the title implies, this album truly is extra classic -- one of my favorites).

Much respect Mick, thanks bredda

"Gimme My Gun" and "Thief A Man" are on the same riddim as Gregory's "Rasta Business" which is also on the Extra Classic CD with its dub.
Heres a list of 3 of Tado's albums. The song is followed by the original or the name of the riddim & the other tunes by Tado on the same riddim with the album it on in ().
