What is this nonsense about the Tamlins??? What does their discography amount to - especially lined up the HEPTONES????? For sure the addition of overdrumming on the later pressings takes the edge off it a bit but listen to Leroy's pleading voice and Jackie Mittoo's clonking piano again and tell me in all seriousness that the Tamlins 'X-Factor' style wins!!! Not in a million years!!!

Thank you for posting TopCat ! I love this song and take a moment away from work every time it pops on XM radio.
Excellent music history on Wikepedia regarding The Heptones...very much worth a read.
the music is a do over. 4x4 foot drum beats to a bar was not arount till the late 7o's. the tamlin took it from the original heptones.

This comment has received too many negative votes show
Is it me or is the Tamlins' version better? i find this tune kind of disappointing?

Personal taste I guess! :-) This is an alternate take which was unreleased until recently, maybe you'd prefer the regular cut....
