I will definately look into the 12" version of Yellow Tongue. Samia Farah sounds awesome in that cut on the Mighty Upsetter album. I was listening to it before bed and my 7 year old son came in and wanted me to turn it off because it sounded scary! With the subject matter being cancer, Lee Perry really did a great job of the music matching the lyrics, my son wasn't really understanding what the lyrics were saying, but the tone of the music to him was scary. After listening to the song "through a 7 year olds ears," I have to agree with my son. Fabulous song on a fabulous album!

Also, looking forward to Dubsetter. I couldn't bring myself to spending close to $50 to buy the Japanese version (with shipping). I'm still looking for it on Ebay.

Speaking of things Japanese, there was a seller on eBay selling a bunch of Japanese On.U CDs that all finished yesterday. But I forgot all about it. I missed a copy of Stoned Immaculate on Beat with the extra tracks - it went for £3.00

Pah!!

Wow, that's strange, one of my first AMS purchases was Stoned Immaculate on a Japanese label, Alfa in this case. This was when I lived in Hawaii, sometimes the Japanese imports were easier to find than the UK or US versions. Unfortunately, the Alfa CD doesn't contain the extra tracks...

Ah yes, I remember that one - with the red and gold cover. It came out quite a few months before the UK On.U issue. A nice item to have!
