      Does anyone know how many pressings of the KLP005 on the Congo Ashanty Label were pressed? Just wondering how many of these are actually in circulation...

          The Congo Ashanty pressing is the worst of all of them, cutting about 20 minutes of run time (!) compared to the “definitive” second pressing (Black Art KLP05).

            does anyone know if this is the original mix?

            update: rather confusing, but I eventually managed to find some evidence to suggest not: http://www.roots-archives.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=93868
