Great website by the way! ‘Death Rides’ is also on the “Blow Mr. Hornsman’ CD and ‘Man a Wail’ is available on ‘The Reggae Train’ Cd, both from Trojan.
And ‘Apollo 11′ is only the recentl released box set ‘The Story of Trojan Records’ but is credited to The Hippy Boys’.
Apologies – meant to say that ‘On the Move’ is also on ‘Blow Mr. Hornsman’
