Released by Bunny Roots’ Kris Disk label in 1983, ‘Sweet Lady’ and ‘Vision’ came out on separate 7”s and were the last Jamaican recordings of Mr Spaulding.

.
Side One is bouncy loverman mode, a sugar hymn of elusive desire for a certain lady, recorded on the same night as Josey Wales’ ‘Kingston Hot’ at Aquarius. ‘Vision’ predicts a sea of blood, a warning of social tension on the streets of 1980’s Jamaica. Not long after this Spaulding was stabbed, hastening his move abroad to the USA and eventually London.
