Comment by Upsetter FC:

I think the original date on this listing was sourced from RC.

Comment by Madame Streggae:

Just checked an old (2004) Record Collector guide. It listed the BB as 67 and the Fab as 68.


Some of these these tracks are from `68 so how can the BB have been `67? I never trusted anything in RC.

Comment by Upsetter FC:

The reissue I have gives the date as 1968. It has the BBLP label number on the cover. But the cover was printed in Kingston in the 80s. The vinyl is recent as it has Miami and 876 area codes.

Comment by Stampkool:

I don’t think RC is right, or it must’ve came out with a different cover, as the term Reggae (‘Reggea’ on this cover) wasn’t known until 1968 (probably first used on record by The Maytals, Do The Reggay [sic])

Comment by Stampkool:

If Melodisc used left-over labels, the year should be (at least) 1969 I think?

Rear sleeve has a completely wrong track listing!

Just added but wasn't sure if artist should read 'various'?
