Notes:

Most probably material recorded earlier than the release date

Cover gives the label as Roots, an imprint connected to producer Rashid Vally; however the label on the record itself is Charly Records, though the Roots catalogue number is retained, and the copyright on the label is also assigned to Roots. The Charly name and logo do not appear on the cover.

The label also gives the title of the record as ‘Mannenberg Groove’, and the tracks are in a different order.
