Notes
- Alternative title for this tune was "Gregory Free", referring to the release of Gregory Isaacs from prison, while "G. P. Mix" is a reference to the "General Penitentiary", the Jamaican detention facility where Gregory was incarcerated;
- Using the rhythm of Isaacs huge hit "Storm", Yellowman also catches some lines from that tune
- Note there are some issues with this label that actually play Toyan - Spin Yu Roll.

About Yellowman
Born 1956 // Jamaica
King Yellowman has an incredible history in Reggae music. His upbringing at the Maxfield Home orphanage in Kingston and being albino in Jamaica were two obstacles the he overcame and went on to be (at one time) the biggest reggae artist since Bob Marley. Yellowman is a past student of the famed in Kingston.
After winning a talent contest at Tastee Patties in Kingston, Yellow went on to excite reggae crowds all over Jamaica and the rest of the world with his boastful and sometimes bodacious lyrics. His ability to ride rhythm and excite a crowd made Yellow an instant hit in Jamaica. He also began to work with the Ace Sound System in St. Thomas and drew big crowds at his dancehall performances. Later in his career, Yellow began to spread out and work for a number of different producers, sometimes releasing as many as five albums per year. This led to a recording contract with CBS Records. Yellowman recorded one album with them before he was diagnosed with jaw cancer and was given six months to live. This was in 1986. After surgery an extended leave of absence from the record industry, Yellowman began his comeback with the song "Blueberry Hill
