Dub frequently uses the same beat with different vocals for b-sides. Not that unusual. Besides....its a great beat!!!! and both lyrics fit perfect. revolutionary riddims. peace in our time
Bad Weed sounds like Police and Thieves because Lee Perry used the same riddem. He also used the Police & Thieves riddem on "Philistines on the Land" (also by Junior Murvin) and "Grumblin Dub" by The Upsetters, both are posted on youtube, check them out.
" too much bad weed is in the garden , I&I a go weed them out " For me personally , I like this take alot more than police and thieves. I also wouldn't be suprised if scratch wrote some of these lyrics.
to the lasr comment. Welcome to JA music. It is honest. Nobody says its not been done before. Open your ears, your mind and your heart. Was Bob Marley total;ly original?
@leeks6893 It's the same backing track. They always got their money'sworth from them! (original 12" Police and Thieves had four different tracks with the one backing)
i'm so fucking stoned right now

junior murvin used the tune from police and theives to make bad weed. a lot of reggae artists did this to capitalise on hits that they'd had.
