This tune was the second Roots tune recorded by Junior Murvin after his first 1974 masterpiece. With different dynamics, this great track was also highly sought after, and considering this tune as one of his few recordings during the period, it should be recognized as an important record and a true masterpiece.

N/A
Ghetto Connection's tune was originally released in 1979 on the Strugglers and Jah Life labels respectively in JA and NY. Now re-released on Jah Life's reactivated Dub Irator label, this one is hard militant roots with killer lyrics - "back back weh, CIA!"
Upright Foundation - Wolf In Sheep Clothing / Where Wolf Version
Wisdom / Digikiller US / Depper Knowledge US 1976
¥1180 (US$7.46)
"Wolf in Sheep Clothing" by the Upright Foundation. This was a short-lived group featuring two-thirds of the Gaylads, and this phenomenal piece of Burning Spear-esque roots was produced by Clive for his Wisdom Sounds label in the mid '70s. Reissued for the first time here, this tune is totally infectious and should go straight into the '70s roots harmony classics canon.
