Published in 1964 this was Prince Buster's most popular single ever, pairing his two best known tunes.
Originally released in the UK in 1965 on a dark blue (three-pronged or four-pronged) push-out centre Blue Beat label, was reissued with a straight text Blue Beat label design (solid centre or four-pronged) and around 1968 reappeared on sister label FAB; the same master [Orlake's pressings are identifiable by the + sign as separator] was subsequently repressed on Blue Beat in a variety of colour labels, with and without solid centres, throughout the 70's.
In the 80's, following the Ska revival craze, the UK saw further reissues with Blue Beat labels, also on 12".
