'scientist rids the world of the evil curse of vampires' will always have my heart because of its awesome cover image and the incorporation of actual halloween-type sounds and voices in the music, missing from 'strike back', 'world cup', etc.

Cosby, you are so wrong about Wins The World Cup, that album is gorgeous + full of vocal snippets from Johnny Osbourne, Hugh Mundell and Wayne Jarrett.

i meant 'rids the world' is the only early 80s scientist album that has a sonic link to its theme. 'world cup' is an outstanding album, but it doesn't have any footballing chants or ball kicking sounds or anything, that's what i meant. 'rids the world' is the only album that has any real link to the vague album titles ('big showdown at king tubby's' arguably has its opening boxing montage).

Scientist + Jammy Big Showdown is awesome. Any combination of Roots Radics + Junjo + Scientist between 1980-1982/3 is worth hearing.
