I have heard a couple of tunes of this Dickie Wong label lately and they sounded all very nice to me (all played by Skin, Flesh and Bones, with a still quite young Sly Dunbar?). It appears Dickie Wong had a club with the same name "Tit for Tat" where also Soul music was played. I did a search for a discography but found nothing. Most releases seem to be from 1974 - 1976.

So far I know of:
- Al Brown - Here I Am Baby (Come & Take Me)/Version
- Skin, Flesh & Bones - Butter Fe Fish/Bammie and fish
- Peter Scarlett & The Fabulous Five Inc. - Sweet P/Sweet
- Little (Ranking) Joe - Steve Austin/Dubwise
- Leo Simpsom - Third World People/Version
- Dave Robinson - I bet you don't know
- Dave Robinson - Chant to Jah
- Errol Lee - Happiness is
- Freddie McKay - Roots festival
- Michael Rose - Observer life (?)

and an lp by The Fabulous Five Inc. - FF one

Anyone who knows more? Thanks!

There only one i know of is Skin Flesh & Bones - Solitary Man / Version

the Tit for Tat club on Red Hills Road, KNG,JA, is famous in reggae history as the place where Sly Dunbar was drummer for the inhouse band ( Skin Flesh & bones) and where he first met up with Robbie Shakespere who was playing at the club next door.

Observe Life was released on the Tit For Tatlabel, but a Lee Perry production (just been re-released on 45)

Chant to Jah was produced by Dennis brown, and released on the Tit for Tat label (rereleasd on Emmaunel music, UK in 2000)

Al Brown did release a couple more 45s and his only album on Tit For Tat , called 'Here I am Baby' ( UK released on Trojan)

Observe Life was released on the Tit For Tatlabel, but a Lee Perry production (just been re-released on 45)

false.

Corrected:

Observe Life was released on the Tit For Tatlabel, but its not a Lee Perry production.

my bad. i dont have the tit of tat 45, and thought it was the orignal Upsetter cut

but i assume it's the remake as featured on carib gem?

yes it is
