Following Trojan Records releasing The Good, The Bad & The Upsetters (UK 1970) (opens in a new tab) without his consent, Lee Perry obtained a completely new album with his choice of tracks; apart from a few test pressings on white labels this LP wasn't originally issued in the UK (not until 2014) but the producer took the master plates to Jamaica for a release on the Upsetter label; this was distributed with the same UK sleeve but with a new tracklist pasted on the back.
A1 is a version of The Untouchables' Same Thing All Over on the Too Experienced rhythm
A4 is a version of The Gaylads I Wear My Slanders
A5 is a version of Bob Marley & The Wailers' Mr. Brown
