    Both tracks on this 7" were produced by Dandy Livingstone (also known as Brother Dan) in 1969 on two separate singles on Downtown Records. This reissue brings these two rare gems together for the first time on one 7” single. Both tracks are quite rare and very much in demand with “Skinheads A Mesage To You” being an anthem for early reggae enthusiasts!
