Misleading info on the label! That track has nothing to do with Matatdor (All Stars).
It is I Roy & The Revolutionaries at Channel One doing over Jackie Mittoo's In Cold Blood.
Another remarkable 7" you must hear on that rhythm is
Caymanas Park / Dub Version - Dillinger & The Revolutionaries (Channel One/Hitbound/Well Charge)
There is an essential instrumental dub version too which is featured on the LP/CD ~ 'Vital Dub' - The Revolutionaries (Well Charge).

As far as I know, the first Channel One cut was by one Middle Youth, can't remember the title, something with the word "fence" in it, hence the title of the cut on Vital Dub; Fence Dub. I Roy did another cut to it, the brilliant Proud Black on Well Charge 7" only, a different set of lyrics to Forward Yah, Roy greatly enjoying himself, with a great dub. Don't know of any singing pieces to it, though Earth & Stone did Migrate on another cut of the rhythm for Ossie Hibbert a couple of years later. The Channel One cut of In Cold Blood is a rare example of a cover of a Studio One riddim surpassing the original.

That dub cut is the same as the one on Vital Dub - with Busty Brown's intro tacked on (maybe only for the youtube clip?). And of course the Sugar Minott and Frankie Paul vocals are not on the same cut of the rhythm.
