* In 1980 Gerald Thomas Moore - of G.T. Moore and the Reggae Guitars and Heron fame - was in Kingston, Jamaica working with Lee Perry on the `Return of Pipecock Jackxon’ album.
Gerald went into Harry J’s studio with James Lascelles (Global Village Trucking Company, The Breakfast Band) and Bud Beadle (Ginger Baker & Salt) alongside members of Zap Pow: Don Grant, Cornell Marshall and Dwight Pinkney and this is the result.

* However, the tapes sat around gathering dust for the best part of 40 years and are were finally unearthed in 2017 followed by the initial release on Partial in 2018. The LP sold out fast and now gets a welcome repress.

* Mixed directly from the masters by Dougie Wardrop, with four cuts, two vocal and two instrumental followed by their respective dub mixes.

* 4 star review in Mojo: “a meditative affair with rhythms stretched through tasteful dub mixdowns”

* Tracklist:
A. Utopia, Reformation Dub, Jerusalem, Temple Mount Dub
B. Working For The Dollar, Turn The Wheel Dub, Constant Spring, Stony Hill Dub
