Does anyone here know where that Black Uhuru song Great Train Robbery comes from ?
I can't find it on any of the official albums and Wiki doesn't even mention the song.
If you know anything, let me know please !

Eek a Mouse is great. As are a lot of releases on Greensleeves records.

I'm sure some will like this.

Should we extend this thread for the dub lovers, too.

Don't miss the Green Album, which is a version of the White Album (by the beatles) in Reggae. All the big Reggae bands from latin america make the tribute.

Thx for the heads up on that. Checked it out, but not sure the production stands up against Jamaica's finest - some ska, rocksteady, reggae Beatles covers:

[playlist, selector at the bottom]

Let it Be by The Mohawks is up there with the original, which can get ponderous.

Oh and the John Holt - Yesterday Dub has to be heard.

ron did you find it?

1986 RAS / greensleaves12" mixed and produced by arthur baker and dr. dread.

on the album brutal, which is on amazon. made me dig out the 12" which is on as we speak

(EDIT written by junior reid - change of personnel after anthem, gabriel to collins situation like, if you get my drift, that's why it's off the radar IMO )
