LIVE LOVING¹
Sugar Minott (1978)

Studio One PSOL 001
matrix: PSOL 001

Jahovia; Hang On Natty (Get In The Groove); Change Your Ways (What Kind Of World); Give A Hand (Give Give Love); Come On Home (Queen Of The Minstrel) // A House Is Not A Home; Live Loving (Going Home) ; Love Gonna Pack Up; Jah Almighty (True Experience); Jah Jah Lead Us (Mr Bassie)

There are two different mixes of this album (one slightly faster than the other); unfortunately, both have the same matrix number. The sleeve can also be found in two different colourways.

The first of the Studio One 'do-over' albums, and generally recognised to be the first 'dancehall' album. Sugar Minott was allowed his pick of rhythms from the Brentford Road vaults - and he certainly picked some of the best. One of the classic Studio One albums - worthy of a place in anyone's collection.

LIVE LOVING²
Sugar Minott (2004)

Studio One PSOL 100
matrix: C.S.Dodd 031201

A House Is Not A Home; Live Loving (Going Home); Love Gonna Pack Up; Jah Almighty (True Experience); Jah Jah Lead Us (Mr Bassie); Jahovia // Hang On Natty (Get In The Groove), Change Your Ways (What Kind Of World); Give A Hand (Give Give Love); Come On Home (Queen Of The Minstrel); Jah A Love You; Wrong Doers (Love Me Girl); Jah Children (Satta A Massa Gana)

Studio One reissue with three extra tracks, Jah A Love You, Wrong Doers (from MORE SUGAR) and Jah Children (unique to this release). Clean pressing, but sound quality is a little inconsistent on some tracks (as on the original mix) - however, this still remains one of the 'must-have' Studio One albums.
