Prince Far I  – “Foggy Road” from the album “Message From The King”
I first heard this track in 1978 on the compilation sampler “The Front Line II”. Obviously I had to get “Message From the King” as soon as possible!

Incidentally the dub cut to this is “Long Life” from “Cry Tuff Dub Encounter Vol.1”
