Paul,
Thanks for posting, I didn’t have this single in my collection. I checked his discography and found he released 6cd box set in 2020. I just order it. Thanks again. 🙂

This is the first time I saw a dub version leading on the 12-inch. I’m just massively excited because Arthur Baker did it and you know Paul that he and John Robie means the world to me. Thanks for this record in honour of Nick’s memory. You’re so wonderful to rip a record by him for all of us.

R.I.P. Nick
