Notes

This white label test pressing pre-dates all other pressings including the Jamaican 1st pressing on 'PRE Abyssinians' label. Destined for the UK Tropical Sound Tracs label and assigned catalogue # TSL 102 this was never given a full release or finished run. Only 500 copies believed to have been made without a printed cover, although some copies have surfaced with a pink printed sticker on a white sleeve.

This edition of the album also known as 'Forward On To Zion' is notable for the superior sound quality of the original mix in full stereo with no distortion or fade-outs. The LP was mastered and pressed by Phonodisc Ltd., the matrix in the run-out area showing the typical stamped numbering format of the plant. All subsequent European and USA editions or those pressed in Jamaica at the same time have inferior sound quality or were remixed to mono.

No track times nor any credits appear on this release.
