"The Big Showdown, the first dub album to surface from the Barrington Levy sessions at Channel One, released in 1980 by Greensleeves in the UK. What few realize is that Junjo issued a totally different [companion album in Jamaica on Jah Guidance](https://www.discogs.com/master/210804-Scientist-V-Prince-Jammy-Big-Showdown) using the same sleeve and track listing as the Greensleeves disc but featuring ten totally different Barrington Levy dubs, again mixed at King Tubby's studio. Although both discs [Greensleeves and Jah Guidance] featured dubs of the tracks "Reggae Music", "Looking My Love", and "Black Heart Man" the other seven dubs were never issued on an album and each mix on the Jah Guidance release is distinctly different from that of any other release ever issued in any format; the mixes there are much sparser and rawer, aimed as they were at the Jamaican market of the time. Adding into the confusion is the fact that a few years [prior to 2005] a [Jamaican re-issue of the Greensleeves album appeared on Jah Guidance in Jamaica](https://www.discogs.com/release/13380013-Scientist-Vs-Prince-Jammy-Big-Showdown), but then with a photoshopped sleeve (and faint blue lettering on the photocopied label instead of the original red)" - David Katz The original Jah Guidance pressing is filed under a different Master Release ([[master:210804]]).
