    As noted by others, the songs on side one are sequenced in a different order than the label/jacket indicate. But they're all here, and this slab of wax sounds mighty fine, with great range from top to bottom, a warm, crisp, clear soundstage, and most importantly, a batch of great songs, making this one of the strongest albums of their career, after TRENCHTOWN MIX-UP and PROVERBIAL REGGAE. "Streets of Gold" is a remake of their own "Dreadlocks The Time Is Now", and they also revisit "No Afraid To Fight" I used to have the old Nighthawk CD and this bests it easily. Glad to have this on vinyl. My copy was purchased new and plays nice and clean out of the sleeve, with zero surface noise.

      Hi, I also noticed this error, which in my opinion was not meant to exist, as it is a great label.
