Comments:
BW's discography is a real mess. Many 7' came with different b-sides. Then, information here is by no means complete, just to give some indication, no more.
1A: b-side was 1B or 2A
2A: b-side was No Love (unknown to me)
3A: b-side was Black On Black (Bony & Big Youth)
6B: a-side was Dreamland, the 1971 Wailer track produced by Lee Perry, widely available on CD.
7B: a longer version (4:39) exists, also b-side of 7A
9A: the date is very controversial. Bunny affirms he recorded it in 1972, so before the Middle East 1st oil shock. Other believes, he lies and this song is 1975
8B: a DJ (Istan) version of Dreamland
11A: Peter Tosh on melodica with Bunny Wailer dubbing Armagideon
X4 appeared on Knotty Vision, a 1983 US VA compilation Nighthawk LP
X1 published on 1981 US Nighthawk LP
X2: Here it is the 1981 remix for US Nighthawk 12' remix. Probably same as Solomonic 7' which had 1B or 10A or Choke (Wailers) or Trenchtown Rock Version (Wailers) as b-side.
X3: First published on 1981 remix for US Nighthawk 12' remix
X5: A Lee Perry dub mix on Battering Down Sentence, only found in an obscure LP (Reminah Dub credited Lee Perry and the Upsetters, Sly and the Revolutionaries, on Original Music LP)
1972:1A-3A
1973:5A-6B
1974:7A-8B

Remark:
Selection of best sources for 7' and/or 12' singles, sometimes complemented with some additional issued vinyl takes. Priority has been given to lossless tracks, however few lossy ones have been selected when they really were the best available sound. Level averaging has been performed using a sound editor (Goldwave). Remaining imperfections (cracks, skips) are inherent to the nature of vinyls. If you have better lossless sound, please contact me (kazo.wailers@laposte.net).
What you have here is the result of hundreds of hours of a very tiring work. Please respect it. Do not sell, do not distribute in MP3 form.
If you see KAZO discs for sale, somebody somewhere is selling what he received for free.
Good vibes.
(Special thanks to to all friends who helped me, they know who they are)

Comment:
It has been reported that Bunny Wailer would have made apology of violence against homosexuals and women. This is not the message carried by reggae music. If this is true, Bunny do not deserve his nickname of Wailer. If this is true, SHAME on you Bunny Livingstone. This record is dedicated to all suffering people, persecutated for their appartenance to a given community, ethnic, religious, sexual, whatever. Get up, stand up!
