Thanks for this. I saw Echo Base supporting UB40 and in their own show with Benjamin Zephaniah. A forthcoming trip to Jamaica has had me going back to old reggae stuff. I never thought I'd get hold of this.

Many thanks

i knew this band very well cutting the demo in gas street at sine wave studios, bloody hell this takes me back to a band that could have made it big if the final mixing and production was left close to the demo material
