CD bonus track: Won't You Come Home (extended version)

Exemplary compilation of Ken Boothe classic hits based loosely on the two vinyl issues (but omitting Puppet On A String, Give Me The Rights and When I Fall In Love). Extra tracks include ska belter You’re No Good, Leave Me Crying (previously unreleased according to the sleeve notes, but actually issued as There You Go With A Broken Heart), Artibella (with Ken backing Stranger Cole’s lead vocal), Won’t You Come Home (the extended version previously unreleased), and, a surprise rarity, I’m A Fool (originally issued as a single on the Supreme label and featuring a scorching sax solo by Roland Alphonso). The accompanying booklet includes interviews with Ken Boothe and Coxsone Dodd and comes complete with an informative song by song commentary by Chuck Foster. Sound quality is excellent throughout.
