Notes

Issued in a generic Hollywood Basic blue die-cut sleeve with a sticker affixed stating: "Zimbabwe Legit, real African lyrics from real Africans!", followed by producers credits, cat# and record label. Some came with a golden letters stamp on the back of the outer sleeve stating this is a promo as well. This version is the original pressing. It can be distinguished from the reissue version by the "SRC" logo stamped into the vinyl of the runout grooves and both the record label's address along with the distribution information printed along the perimeter of the labels.

First cat# printed on sticker and 2nd cat# to be found on labels.
"For Promotional Use Only — Not For Sale" as printed on labels.

A1, A2, and B3 produced for Solid Productions.
B4 produced for True Ethnic Bros. Productions.

Both sides ℗ 1992 Hollywood BASIC
Printed on both labels:
℗ © 1990 Hollywood Records
Distributed by Elektra Entertainment, a division of Warner Communications Inc.
