Most likely a regional thing. YouTube restricts some videos to certain areas on account of copywrite issues using their Content ID system. Just do a search for artist and title and you should be able to find a alternate post of the same track.

His stance on ganja shocked many in his day. He never got to see the fruits of his labor.

And here's another wonderful cut Pat Kelly made on the same rhythm. This time he's covering James Carr's Dark End Of The Street...

My first taste of the Skatalites was through the older Wailers stuff. Yes!

As well as providing harmonies, Leroy Sibbles also played bass on this.

Declaration Of Rights has been covered many times over the years by Johnny Clarke, Dennis Brown, Mighty Diamonds etc.

The drumming is wicked! Love the mix, too. Tuff and tight. Dry. Listen to the kick when the horns kick in.

New to me, too. I have a huge collection of mp3's and it was in there somewhere. I tend to randomly rotate 36k+ tracks on my phone. World's best 'radio station' at all times! Fantastic playing on this one. Check out the drummer.
