I'm pretty sure I owned the release without the dub version decades ago and sold it back. In any event, I've come to see this as the last very good album of the reggae era, before dancehall took over. While this one straddles the line between original Black Uhuru with Michael Rose and the later versions without Puma Jones and Sly & Robbie, I also tend to see it as the last gasp of the old school Black Uhuru rather than the first gasp of the new school Black Uhuru. Plus, the dub album is pretty good, and I'm almost certain I never owned that. And it was nominated for a Grammy, plus I found a "very good" quality used CD for $7 shipped and went for it.
