Two double siders.

‘Book Of Rules (Version)’ whomps ‘Book Of Rules’, the designated A side. Too much ear candy. Yet being a seminal song, it’s still a million times better than most everything else.

‘Sufferer’s Time’ and it’s B side ‘Sufferer’s Dub’ (credited only to The Upsetters), are Scratch at his most prolific, those Black Ark years when he did no wrong. How great is a world whereby this gets released on 7″ vinyl?
