Godz link You're too clever for your own good matey yes it's Byron Lee & The Dragonaires (vocals Ken Lazarus) thats the exact label credit, on Jamaican SOUL label. I got this today for $5 along with another track on the SOUL label, the fabulous Wide Awake In A Dream by Philip James (Blues Busters) which as you know I have on Island cos I sent it up a few weeks back but I think I'll sell the Island copy now. That was $5 as well. Got me 70 Jamaican 45's, half ot them blanks, but everything is ska or rocksteady so I am saving them for tonight, have a little session. Edited April 21, 200520 yr by Pete-S

April 21, 200520 yr Author n.b. obviously not an unknown as it's in both Brown and Manships price guides (35 and 100 quid respectively) but both have it as being on the BRA label. Seriously.

April 22, 200520 yr I had one that was VG- , just sold it on ebay for about $40.00. Good song, just needed to get some fast cash. I was told it was released at the same time as the BRA issue. Not sure why it needed two labels, surely didn't help sales wise.
April 22, 200520 yr Author I'll try and take a photo of the Soul label cos it's very nice looking. They all seem to be black with silver writing but I've got one that's white with Soul in red, looks superb.
