wondering if anybody has purchased this reissue, I have a few questions?
1 - sound quality ?
2 - press quality ?
3 - is it worth $9.00 dollars + s/h

don't know the answer to the first 2 questions but is it worth it?... imo one of the roughest roots tunes ever. I'd cheerfully pay $9 just to have it played down a shit phone line onto an old d90 thats been lying around in my passenger footwell for 3 years

Who is releasing it? When?

thanks

Seems Rock A Shaka did it in Nov.

Yes the Black Originator/Rock a Shaka label of Japan, I've only heard a clip of the reissue but it sounds very clean and solid to my ears. May well pick it up.

Just to make things clear, I uploaded this video few months ago and this is taken from the original release, not from the repress. I don't know if the repress sounds good or not, I hope but Japanese are usually serious when it comes to record pressing.

I just bought the Japanese repress from Rock a Shaka! One of the baddest roots tunes no-one has heard of! Quality is very good and certainly better than you will ever find on a 1981 original. Also the repress looks identical to the original which is a bonus! killer dub also...buy buy buy!

Great info !
Just purchased 3 copys !

Is General Plough's real name Horace Grassic? Heard that somewhere but wasn't sure if it was accurate.
