Notes

UK reissue on blue rim/orange Island labels in matte cover without Island address at bottom of back cover but 'EMI Records Ltd.' & printer code 'EDT R.S.' for Robert Stace at bottom right.

Labels have 'EMI RECORDS LTD...' on rim, which helps to identify this release as a reissue. Compare these labels to release Max Romeo & The Upsetters - War Ina Babylon, which doesn't have the rim text. Also the cutting & pressing is a different one.

Artist: 'Max Romeo & The Upsetters' appears on front cover only; on spine & labels it's 'Max Romeo'.

Release date was determined by cross-referencing the LPs on the inner liner with their release years.

Recorded and mixed at Black Ark Studio.
Made in Gt. Britain

Runouts are stamped.
