If you are going to buy a repress of this, and if you like reggae this is arguably the best album there is so you should have a copy in some form, you might as well grab this. They were an awesome group and the second disc for the price is like a free bonus, and is better than lots out there -very listenable and enjoyable. I also have the blood and fire press, but this sounds great to me overall, without getting super obsessive about it.
Djang
Just bought this for £9 new. Plays fine but the vinyl is flecked with white and purple stains in places.
Skiletus
I just picked this up from hmv for the same price and have the same weird stains on all 4 sides
Unereel
Can anyone tell how is the sound quality of this release?
Forey
man i'm tellin you my opinion. it's a waste of plastic. damn, this sounds not like you'd wanna hear it. really. also the so called "best of the rest" - I'm so sorry to talk about this that way, cause the original LP is one of my ALLTIME favourite albums period - they are recorded without perry on the controls throughout the 80's and suck really bad.. sorry. take the 20 bucks and get something else with the upsetter stamp on it. harmony
Moronydit
Just bought this - the original LP (i.e. sides A/B) are on dark red vinyl, whereas the bonus disc (sides C/D) is standard black. Is this standard issue or have I picked up some freak copy?By the way - this VP press is a little quicker than the Blood and Fire one, in case anyone was wondering...
Kagrel
My pressing of the release has Cutty Ranks songs (including "Tempted to Touch") on all of D side instead of the the Congos songs. Everything is perfectly as labelled except for this weird mistake.
