Originally released on vinyl in 1979, the album's first CD issue came in 1991 on a Jamaican release by Dee Jay Records and featured the same mix as the 1979 album. The second CD release came in 1993 on Heartbeat Records, but this time featured a completely new remix created specially for the CD.
The original 1979 mix was restored to CD in 2002 as Original Living Dub Vol. 1, on Burning Music. Both mixes credit Winston Rodney (Burning Spear) with production. The 1979 mix was created by Sylvan Morris, the 1993 mix by Barry O'Hare.[3]

Reviewing a reissue, the Calgary Herald wrote that the "remixed, stripped-down, mostly instrumental tracks pulsate with hypnotic rhythms and sparse, vocal echoes."[5]
