Notes

Special thanks to The Meditations for the Backing Voices (sleeve note).

This LP features the first mix which has a dryer sound and fewer effects than the later mix with only a little reverb, delay and phasing added.

Original first-pressing sleeve has blue vertical bars. Some sleeves were handpainted by Jah Wise to cover up the blue bars with yellow.

Artist is spelled as "The Congos" on the sleeve and "The Congoes" on the labels. Title is also given as "Heart Of The Congos" on the sleeve and "Heart Of The Congo Man" on the labels.
