Billy Dice - Unity Is Love




This is Unity is Love by Billy Dyce which I mentioned in my previous post. 

 Jamaican pressings of this single credited the vocals to The Untouchables. 

 There have been many bands with that name (there have in fact been two Jamaican reggae bands of that name). In this case it will be the same as The Inspirations i.e. Ransford White aka Billy Dyce and Trevor Shaw aka Jimmy London.

Blogger Peter Daykin (pandy.me.uk) states that it now belongs to Derbyshire Wildlife Trust (there is a nature reserve backing on to and overlooking the cottage) and refers interested parties to Wirksworth Parish Records and the Friends of Cromford Canal, though presumably the Wildlife Trust may also be able to help.
