TRACKS IN QUESTION:
Dracula
RS tells there would be a different version of „Dracula“, the version of „Mr Brown“ findable only at the first Jamaican issue on Upsetter only of the album „Good Bad & The Upsetter“ with different titles as the UK Trojan issue and featuring Wailers vocals.
JC tells, that the album „Good Bad & The Ugly“ on UK Trojan is produced by Tony Cousins & Bruce White, so that the tracks of the JA issue would be only recuts and not Perry / Wailers originals.
I dont have this version.
Mam To Man V/3
RS tells there would be another different version of „Man To Man“ findable only at the first Jamaican issue on Upsetter only of the album „Good Bad & Upsetter“ with different titles as the UK Trojan issue and featuring Wailers vocals.
