Contains 12 inch size booklet with pictures by Dennis Morris and career commentary by Steve Barrow mostly derived from an interview in Jamaica during July 1995.
"For nearly thirty years, Yabby You has shared his vision of the Everlasting Gospel with us, simultaneously crafting some of the most dynamic yet intensely spiritual music of our time. His message is simple and profound: "Love is the key to this undivided world, love is the truth, and you got to know the truth.""

Digital restoration at Abbey Road Studios, London.
Inspiration for compilation from Noel Hawks' tapes for Steve Barker's 'On The Wire' BBC Radio Lancashire show. Hawks provides track commentary on the LPs' sleeves.
