By coincidence, I had decided to post this before I read belle du jour's Studio One post. This is another track from the proto-dancehall period at Studio One in the early eighties, with the Brentford Rockers (Bagga Walker - bass, Horsemouth Wallace, drums, Pablove Black and Jackie Mittoo - keyboards, ernest Ranglin - guitar) as the usual house band.
This is a cover of a tune recorded by the Sensations for Duke Reid's Treasure Isle imprint around 1968. The melancholy structure of the tune hints at the fact that the singer doesn't really mean what he's saying, no?

Which cut of "A Little Way Different" though? The 1972 original Sonia Pottinger cut, or the 1978 12" on Arawak?

i've only been blessed by the 1978 Arawak...however, if given the choice, i seem to gravitate towards the original
