ID help with a rare Sugar Minott track

Hi, all.
Glad I found this forum.
Looks like some great discussion.
OK, so I recorded this song off of a radio show in 1988/89, and have been wondering if and on what it is/was available.
I've had no luck figuring that out, but I'm guessing that you all are the group to ask.
Here's a link to a 2-minute excerpt (streaming mp3) from my recording. The entire track is approximately 12 minutes long:

Any help appreciated.

12 inch release on the Black Roots Label, year: 1981. Catalogue number is BR 26
B side is 'Stand Tuddy' (tuddy? What does that mean???)
There's an alternative version, I think. I'll try to dig it out.

The alternative: The B side is now named 'Rub and Dub' - but it is the same tune, same version. Same catalogue numbers. But this label has a red 'Africa' logo, whereas the other has a green logo.

Amazing.
Endless thanks, leggo.
Probably a dumb question, but; what is the (A side) track actually called?
How difficult do you think it'd be to find a copy of this one?
I pretty-much NEED to find this record.
Thanks again.

...nevermind.
I figured it out, found a copy and ordered it.
Been wanting that one for 20 years!
Alright, one other Sugar Minott track I've been wondering about...
I think it might be called "Can't You Feel My Love", judging by the lyrics.
Chorus: "Oh, can't you feel my love. Yeah, it's coming on strong for you girl..."
Any ideas?

Yeah, leggo.
It's on a cassette, but I'll transfer an excerpt today and share it here.
Thanks in advance.
