No proof that this is real and their is no sources Mschilz20 (talk) 22:47, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Amazon.com has the album for sale, so it must be real. However, it is not clear that this compilation is notable; I found no Google News or Google Books hits for the title. If someone wants to rescue this article, they should not only find sources that discuss it, but also remove much of the current content which is overly opinionated. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 01:19, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
 * In recognition of the sources noted by Michig, I am changing to neutral. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 19:08, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. The argument that this may not be real is, frankly, pathetic. 10 seconds on Google could have proved otherwise. No sources is not a reason for deletion, it's a reason for tagging the article as lacking references. The album obviously does exist, and sources are available:, , , , one of the "Recommended CDs" in the book World Music: the Basics . Also covered in Dave Thompson's book Reggae & Caribbean Music. I appreciate that the nominator may be new to Wikipedia, but deleting articles is not the best place to start for a newbie.--Michig (talk) 07:51, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep*. Okay, I'm biased because I created the page but it's a perfectly notable album by a perfectly notable artist. Incidentally I find the idea that I would have made up the album *and* it's track-listing too to be a rather strange notion. There's vandalism I know but who on Earth would to want create fictious Lee Perry albums? What would be the point?  SmokeyTheCat    •TALK•  18:17, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep/Comment Not sure if the page follows the right page naming convention, regardless, I see no reason to get rid of the article in it's present form. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nezzadar (talk • contribs)
