So I found a most interesting Island Records 7″ that I wanted to share with everybody. I don’t know if you’ve ever heard it, but it currently ranks #13 on Juno Records’ Bestsellers List.
Side A is the Wailers’ classic “Get Up, Stand Up”, written by Peter Tosh, over the InI Kamoze “World A Reggae” riddim (performed by Sly and Robbie) from his self-titled debut. You might notice this classic riddim as the same one that Damian Marley sings over on the 2005 smash “Welcome To Jamrock.” It’s an interesting sound to say the least. I’ve always thought “World A Reggae” to be one of the all-time best riddims by Sly and Robbie, maybe their best.
In my humble opinion, InI Kamoze still owns this riddim.
Side B is an early rendition of the Wailers’ standard “Stir It Up.” It might even be a live version. I really can’t tell and there is no information on it on the Juno Records website. Pardon my ignorance. If anyone knows, please let me know by comment or through email.
Vodpod videos no longer available.
LEGENDARY REGGAE 
I think that’s Stir It Up from the Leeds Polytechnic 1973 gig on Side B.
Thanks! I thought it was an early performance.
sounds like stir it up from max’s or matrix shows.
someone else said Leeds too
leeds was my first thought but the mix seems different
I wish there was such a high quality source for max’s or matrix as there is for leeds.
Or maybe I’m missing some ?
for matrix there is. Do a site search for it.
I did a listen, and sounds like Leeds
btw download link’s not working on the matrix post: http://midnightraverblog.com/2012/03/07/the-wailers-play-matrix-san-francisco-1973/
I think I have it, but haven’t listened to this particular source much.
Thanks, anyway.
Thanks for the heads up. Will fix.
