    Official reissue of what is probably the rarest Gladiators single.
    Originally appeared as a blank label in Jamaica in 1968. The
    recordings are restored from the original masters and have a superb
    stereo sound! Both songs are composed by the legend Albert
    Griffiths, who sadly passed away in 2020.

    The recordings are remastered for vinyl, pressed on recycled vinyl
    and includes an insert with liner notes.
