I am completley in love with the dub of this song. Does anyone know how much the 7" goes for (Micron i think) and has anyone ever seen one?

John

I may be wrong but I only know this one to be by Jimmy Riley.

I dont know. I have a compilation that says its the dub of the track by that artist, yet i cant find any info about him or the track at all.

Its a shame cos it brilliant and i wanted to track down the 7"

Anyway, maybe we are talking about the same track.
The Jimmy Riley record was produced by Lee Perry and Perry used the dub to terrifying effect on his 'Revolution Dub' album from 1975.
Trojan released it as a part of the very fine 'Dub Tryptich' Collection from last year.

Just heard it.. they are the same dubs. Now to track down that 7"!....

7" is from 1975 on the Micron Label.
Good luck hunting that one down without paying an exorbitant sum.
The vocal tune can be found on Trojans 'I am the Upsetter' 4-CD-Collection of a few months ago.

Ok cool. Thanks for your help. I think i may have found one. Do you know if the same dub is on the flip of the single?

I believe the vocal tune of this Jimmy Riley track and dub can be found as well on an the upsetter compilation "shock of mighty". Better even is that this album contains two more tracks by the guy we are looking for Bunny Scott (or Clarke whatever,... the guy from Third World) i.e. "Be Thankful" and "Move out of my way" including the version sides. Heavy dub mixes in the same style as Womens Dub... You have to look for this one! Excellent stuff from our disco-reggae wonderman Bunny. When I heard these tracks I got a totally new appreciation of the works performed by this man.

Thanks, Henrik, in putting me through my own collection correctly )
Like John is guessing this 'original' b-side version of 'Woman's got to have it' is different in the mix to the dubversion that Lee Perry put on 'Revolution Dub'.

...and to complete the Bunny Clarke question, the song 'Move out of my Way' on the 'Shocks of Mighty' collection has also its dub transferred to the 'Revolution Dub' record.
Anybody interested in the work of Bunny Clarke aka Bunny Rugs should check the Lee Perry-produced album 'To love Somebody' which is highly recommended. Strangely enough, Lee Perry renamed Bunny into Bunny Scott for this record ('It will sell better in Scotland then' quote L.P.). As original vinyl this one is extremely hard to find but french label Tabou has released it on cd some years ago.
