B. The Destroyers – Machockies “Seems to me to be identical to the flip”
i’ll check out the single but i am pretty sure both sides are different, one with count matchuki and other side pure instrumental.i know the 2 sides released on a couple of trojan compilations were the same but one was misnamed.
nick
Thanks Nick I thought it was unlikely that both sides were the same.
forgot to say pressure tonic is same riddim aand tune as reggae boys walk by day fly by night
Really?, well there you go Trojan compilation compilers need to be a bit more careful.
thanks
