Notes

First Pressing + faint small titles on cover front, which is how the cover was originally designed.

Second Pressings had an ugly brown box over printing these titles - with larger titles so they would stand out for buyers. However, these are not in keeping with the original cover design and look terrible.

All tracks mixed at King Tubby's Studio, 18 Drummlie Avenue, Kingston 11, Jamaica.
Recorded Kingston, Jamaica 1973/1976.
Mastered and Edited, PTR Studios, London.

All Tracks Copyright Control. Made in England. (Note on Label)

Dedicated to the memory of Osbourne Ruddock 1941-1989

Released in a gatefold sleeve.

Slightly different variant of Trojan TRLD 409 from other gatefold version King Tubby, Observer Allstars And The Aggrovators - King Tubby's Special 1973-1976
This variant has smaller light brown font lettering for title and artist graphics as opposed to the large brown and yellow title and artist banners on the front cover artwork of the other aforementioned repress variant (see images of both)
Also this variant has similar matrix/runout etchings to the other except for side C&D has slightly different etchings of C1 & D1 respectively as opposed to A1 & B1 on sides C & D on the other one.
Also the lettering on the labels of this variant have a slightly different layout and spacing than the labels for the repress variant.

    I have this in a gatefold cover (owned since new), but just noticed my disc 2 has the "Produced by Edward 'Bunny' Lee aka Striker" on the same line which matches one of the other 1st releases without the gatefold. Anyone else's like this ? Everything else is as it should be, matrix numbers etc.
