Feb 2024 - Max Romeo - which version ?

Another great set of rips PBTHAL for Feb 2024 and as always,many many thanks for all your time and efforts.

Been loving the Reggae and Dub rips over the past couple of years and re: Max Romeo - Open the Iron Gate , can anyone point me to the version and pressing PBTHAL has used ?

Open the Iron Gate is a kind of re-release of the Revelation Time LP and then also the Warning Warning LP and unless I havent come across it yet, can only see the Open the Iron Gate tracklisting as per PBTHALs rip on the 8 track and cassette release.

I've narrowed it down to either the 1978 or 1985 US release (he split Open the Iron Gate & Blood of the Prophet but if you combined them, the track times match).

I think it was the United Artist release...this  was loaned to me so I do not have the record.

 

On a side note are you the guy who loans gorehound all the punk singles?

It's the 1978 United Artist release. However, all the track names in this PB release are incorrect.  The correct names are as follows in brackets:

01 - Revelation Time [Open The Iron Gate]
02 - Open The Iron Gate [Open The Iron Gate Pt. II]
03 - Open The Iron Gate Pt. II [No Peace]
04 - No Peace [Tacko]
05 - Three Blind Mice [Blood of The Prophet]
06 - A Quarter Pound of I'cense [Blood of The Prophet Pt. II]
07 - Blood of The Prophet [Warning, Warning]
08 - Blood of The Prophet Pt. II [A Quarter Pound of I'cense]
09 - Tacko [Three Blind Mice]
10 - Warning, Warning [Revelation Time]

Open The Iron Gate and Blood of the Prophet are not listed separately on the labels.
