The Devil is here in the city (so true!)

Hi there,

The tune featured today is a classic from the Wackie's stable.
You may find various issues of it, as this post on the Blood and Fire website mentions :

Some come with a dub on B side, some with a killer toast from "Jah Hugh" called Devil man skank.

The most known is the issue on the Rawse imprint from NY (Wackie's subsidiary), then you may find it on Hitbound as a 7' and on GG's as a 12'.

More recently, a japanese reissue on Negus Roots (!) imprint and green wax was made available.

And, if you like to get the whole thing (tune, dub, toast and dubplate version), French reissue label Kingston Connexion put out this nice little 12 :

My copy, it seems, is one from the first batch which was released as a pre-release in JA under the Psychedelic label. On the A side you get the original song, a killer militant tune, with crazy drumming. On the B side comes one of the best DJ sets I know (as I already mentioned, I am not a big fan of DJ business, but this is a stormer).

Hope you all enjoy it,

Peace,

Ben
