Hi Ashanti Gussie
The songs you are after can be found on a 12" disco 45", and also re-relased by VP a few years back on "Joe Gibbs 12" Reggae Discomix Showcase Volume 1".
Michael Black - Natty Contractor & Ranking Joe - Drunken Master
Joe's "Drunken Master" was also released on a 7" pressed on Gibb's label in Miami.

Yes, Barrington Levy's "Step Up In Life", produced by Sassafrass. Tuff tune, it really didn't receive proper distribution back in the day but it always got a crowd reaction.
