Less familiar is 'Kimble', originally issued on Amalgamated by Perry (under the pseudonym, The Creators) as the b-side to Stranger Cole & Gladdy's, 'Seeing is Knowing', also in 1968. The Fall recorded their version of this obscurity in 1992 for a John Peel session - and it's a corker.

Saturday Scratch #41 - The Mark E. Smith Connection
Did someone put together a compilation of
tunes from the Amalgamated label for Mark E
Smith in the early 1990s? If so it would
help to explain The Fall's brief foray into
the fine art of the reggae cover version.
Best known is 'Why Are People Grudgeful'
issued as a single in 1993 and based on a
fantastic 1968 Joe Gibbs 7", released on
Amalgamated, which was itself a reply in
song to Lee Perry's scathing, 'People Funny
Boy'.
