- Man Of Dignity ☒ (Roman Stewart)

|
A. Man Of Dignity
Produced by Enos McLeod
Recorded at Channel One
Although this song has all the signs of being a Black Ark recording, opinions highly differ.
Another tune with the same riddim was done by Gregory Isaacs called Write Myself a Letter and was released
on both African Treasure and Hot Shot label.
Several other releases were put out on this Black Art label used by Micron Music to issue unrelated songs, apparently at a time their stock of labels was running short.
Another version of Write Myself a Letter by Ronnie Davis can be found on his album Beautiful People From Jamaica.

- Jazzbo Have Fe Run ☒ (I Roy feat Prince Far I)
- Version ☒
|
A. Jazzbo Have Fe Run
Produced by Bunny Lee
The feud began with the success of I Roy's Straight to Jazzbo Head, a number that good-naturedly taunted the Prince Jazzbo's lack of prowess at the mic. In a way Jazzbo had it coming, as he'd choked in the studio in I Roy's presence, and inevitably, when the latter DJ stepped up the mic, he couldn't help but comment on that fact.
When I Roy's single took off, producer Bunny Lee, who'd overseen that hit, immediately goaded Jazzbo into striking back on wax, with Straight to I Roy's Head the result. Jazzbo had taken to heart I Roy's congenial teasing, and his hurt and confusion is apparent here. "Prince Jazzbo never trouble you," he laments within, "you shouldn't do that." What fans wanted though, were insults, but the best the DJ can do is compare I Roy unfavorably to the mighty U Roy.
Still, Jamaicans love a feud, and Jazzbo's whinges over a steamy version of John Holt's A Love I Can Feel sold well enough for the pair's fracas on disc to continued, with I Roy hitting back with the quite nasty Jazzbo a Fe Run, and Jazzbo slapping back in turn.

Four tunes released in the UK as Jamaican style records and although they have three different label designs, it is clear that they were all pressed at the same time, most probably out of the DIP set-up. There is no clear evidence as to their provenance but could well be Perry/Ark recorded rhythms with UK vocals.
Other releases are:
U Roy Special by an unknown DJ (Dread Wax label)
I & I a Search For Survival by Jah Lloyd (Black Art label)
Untouchable Special by Merry Maker (Western Kingston label)
