Notes

Very rare album by Cedric 'Im' Brooks, under the guise of 'One Essence'.
Notable for being a true stereo mix by Errol Brown.
Track titles:
The printed titles on both the labels and the sleeve are incorrect. B1 as it plays is clearly 'Small Axe' but is listed as A1. Further information has come to light in the form of a press sheet on a very rare promo copy that backs the title sequence up as currently entered (13/3/14).
Label variation, same matrix.
