I thought for sure you were going to post Minstrel & Queen after that write-up. I heard the Junior Murvin version first, but Mayfield does it much better (as is usually the case with covers, especially reggae)
"Minstrel and Queen" was recorded by the Techniques, Dennis Alcapone, Tommy McCook, the Chosen Few, and U-Roy, as well as being partly used by Bob Marley and Cornel Campbell as part of the lyric of "I'm Still Waiting". I seem to recall that there's an Almax post on here a couple of months back dedicated to that tune
Here is the thread of which I speak

hmmmm... I delectated that and it was gooood.
Shit - I am sorry, I confused it with Police & Thieves by Murvin (which I heard before the Clash). It must be the Techniques version that I am remembering. Thanks.
