johnnyhotspur 12th May 2021		Vinyl Album Dave And Ansel Collins - In The Ghetto (1975)	Review No less than 6 tracks off this album were released as 45's on Creole's 'Rhino' label during 1972/73 so I can't help thinking that Trojan put together a hotchpotch of 70's tracks as an attempt to cash in on the groups' success. Trojan had already put out the 'Double Barrell' LP so it seems like they scrambled around for other tracks to put on this second album. 'Stone In Love' did make it onto a Trojan 45 (Maxi Trojan TRM-3002). It's still nice to have 'Smooth And Sort' (singular on this LP!) on a Trojan label. One nice surprise was 'Power To The People', another version of Shacatac, which I love, and has a slightly heavier chunkier feel, great! 6 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?

johnnyhotspur 21st Jan 2021		Vinyl Album Bad Manners - Loonee Tunes (1980)	The version of 'Just A Feeling' differs on this LP to the 45. The 45 fades out while the LP cut ends abruptly with the lyric "I'm Just A Skinhead Yob!". Maybe the 45 was a more 'friendlier' version for radio and TOTP? You know how the BBC were, they'd ban anything!
