    Killer dub album, one of the best Black Ark productions from Lee Perry's heyday, and this VMP reissue does it justice. Tons of bass, crisp percussion, and the murky mix is so dense it's nearly impenetrable. Finally have all three of the albums included on Trojan's APEOLOGY double CD on vinyl, and I'm a happy boy! My copy plays like new, nice and clean with zero surface noise.

      Just noticed after all these years that my copy has A labels on both sides but appropriate tracks per side. Otherwise sounds great, recommended reissue

        One of my favorite VMP releases, I never would have picked it up in the store but I'm so glad it's in my collection!

          Anyone else's copy starting to warp? Pretty bummed, the outer tracks are almost unplayable after only a few months.

            I think this is my favorite VMP release so far. Great bass on this, which is what it needs.
