[@lulumichella]

Thanks for posting this. I bought the original EP in 1981, it is now with one of my siblings or children in one of five states. And I LOVE the skip. Authentic vinyl by golly!!

As I said for the dub version, Oh Man, where has the time gone?
Happy days, thanks for posting and sharing, have my youth back, cheers ;-)

My father is a "intense" collector of LPs from the early 70s to early 80s, "don't touch" plastic jackets. But like this EP / LP 10" 12", import versions, what does it matter - its timeless music twice my age, today you have to download - a "song" about nothing, this music had something to say . . .

[@bu66erman]

bank robber wow its timeless in my eyes an absolute classic , that bass sends shivers down my spine . peace out

[@TheRattking]

I wish your record hadn't been so badly scratched that it skipped.

So, it turns dub stylee at 4:20?...what a damn good time to turn on the dub...

[@marc23133]

this ain't the original, which only received a limited release as a 7" single; they were having problems with cbs - who didn't appreciate or understand their love of reggae. using lee perry to produce the previous single "complete control" - itself a diss at cbs and resulted in them not promoting it, which meant it was a commercial failure - led to cbs (uk) refusing to release "bank robber". the original release came via the dutch cbs label.

I have this on a vinyl 10" - got it shortly after it came out lo these many years ago.
