Notes from the original pressing. Later editions may differ.
Limited edition triple LP box set.
Tracks B2 and B4 are listed as Version on the sleevenotes.
Track E1 and E2 go together as one song, this can be read throught reading the groove and is written on the cover.
The label is misleading saying that these are two songs (E1 Horace Smart - The Ruffer Ruff and E2 Upsetters - Ruffer Dub).
Track position here i decided to base it on the groove, so E1 becomes: Horace Smart & Upsetters, The Ruffer Ruff & Ruffer Dub.
