Looks like a bootleg (even sounds like too), the version is far from rico's Dial Africa cut..Do some know Wheres this Ufo from?

It was an Island blank. Same label issue as the Rico Dub LP. You can hear a bit of Ijahman harmonizing on the instrumental Rico LP. Great song. It's not a cut of Dial Africa but of Africa. Last song on the other side of the LP.

Speaking of Rico. I remember once seeing some alternative cover art for his Man From Wareika LP but can't remember where I saw it. Anyone that has a clue? Still one of the absolutely finest releases I've heard. Incredible album and the one that got me hooked on reggae (was recommended it by a friend since I listened so much to jazz and he thought it would be to my liking).

[FitZ]

yes africa , not dial africa sure!
thx bro' kalcidis!

Holy cow, this is a wicked wicked thing. Never knew it had been released as a song (as opposed to the instrumental on Rico's album)

this could get a repress treatment, the original press is going for maaaad prices
