WHAT JAMES HAMILTON HAD TO SAY ABOUT THIS RELEASE:
BOB MARLEY & THE WAILERS: ‘Waiting In Vain’ (Island 12IS 180)
Another but much better known oldie to follow the other one (literally, as at 79bpm it’s a doddle to mix out of ‘One Love’), flipped by a not overly useable Chad Jackson-sequenced ‘Marley Mix Up’ of ‘Exodus/Positive Vibration/Pimpers Paradise/Punky Reggae Party’ — I can see why he wanted to use the old promo 7in intro but it then lumbered him with an outdated rhythm. Cool down the pace!
SIDE B MIX: MARLEY MIX UP

TRACKS I CAN IDENTIFY IN THE MIX - I have only listed the ones that have prolonged elements or have a short sample repeated multiple times:
