I heard Peter Metro used the name Peter Ranking until he found out there was another dj named Peter Ranking. Does metro have any recordings under that name?

Not sure, but I do know he had his own short lived record label called Metro Sound.

Peter Metro was named after the Metromedia sound for which he deejayed.. he never recorded as Peter Ranking, because he changed his name years before he started recording (early 80s)

He has absolutely no involvement with the Metrosound label.

Metrosound was Peter Metro's label, they also released the sword of jah mouth LP. Next time I see Metro I will ask him about that era and those releases (and who Mannings was). I don't think that he and Prince Junior were the same person though. That Mannings 12" came out in the back end of 86 I think, I remember picking it up before it disappeared without trace. Didn't sell a bean but its a real killer, a very bitter take on the xmas spirit
