my friend has an original natty dread vinyl album from 74 and he
ripped the songs onto cd for me. there is an amazing version of 'no
woman no cry' on it. since it was from vinyl, i wanted to buy the
remastered tuff gong release so i did.
i was pissed to discover that it does not have the same version that
was on the original vinyl release. now, i am not so sure that the
album version was actually really on the record (my friend insists
that it came off the record although i did not listen to the record
myself). he showed me the record but to my disappointment, did not
have any specific liner notes or details, just lyrics.
the track does not sound like the rest of the album (lower sound
levels, alternate lyrics). there is an acoustic guitar playing with
what sounds like a electronic drum track backing (if i didnt know any
better, sounds like rap drum loop, kinda like modern remix-type
recordings). it sounds somewhat more recent than a recording from
'74. one lyric that is different is "...I remember, when we used to
sit, in the government yard in jersey...". if it is bob singing, his
voice sounds deeper than the remastered tuff gong version (may be
peter tosh).
anyone have any info on this version? where can i find a cleaner
version (w/o ripping from vinyl)? anyone else heard this recording?
any info would be appreciated.
thanks
Big Willy
