Di Black Petty Booshwah

~ Recording by Linton Kwesi Johnson

Annotation

There are time differences here, but they are the same recording. Confirmed by ear.

This track was originally the last track on Side A of the 1980 LP and had been cut short and fades out early. The 1990 CD restored the full length 12" version but still fades out.
