Earl George aka George Earl had established a redoubtable reputation before recording his relaxed yet supremely soulful vocals for Lee Scratch Perry on an adaptation of William Bell's 1968 Stax classic 'I Forgot To Be Your Lover' credited to George Earl in 1973. Four years later they returned to I Forgot To Be Your Lover : To Be A Lover for an extended twelve inch 'disco mix' version and hit all over again. Scratch recommended a number of classic songs to Earl which he felt were suited to his sultry voice and the pair then began work together on Earl's debut album. Permeated throughout with the 'kinky' Black Ark sound and fusing Lee Perry's experimentation with George Faith's emotive vocals the set was originally released as 'Super Eight' on Black Art in Jamaica and 'To Be A Lover' on Black Swan in the UK in 1977. The album took about eight months to put together and, during the extended recording sessions, Scratch told Earl he had a "lot of faith" and suggested he changed his name to George Faith. Earl recalled that faith can move mountains and "from there I just stick with that name". The combination of a number of Kingston's foremost session musicians, collectively known as The Upsetters, the wizardry of Lee Perry fully in control and the unique ambience or if you prefer, 'vibes', of the Black Ark studio produced a minor masterpiece that turned well known songs into something completely otherworldly. This classic collection of pleasantly palatable cuts of psychedelic Jamaican soul was a palpable hit in the UK where it proved particularly successful with reggae's latest adherents, the punk audience, who belied their violent reputation and wholeheartedly embraced the smooth sophistication of this album. Punk pop star Billy Idol enjoyed chart success in late 1986 when his version of I Forgot To Be Your Lover, also entitled To Be A Lover and redolent of both his punk heyday and George Faith's reggae interpretation, reached Number Twenty Two in the UK National Charts. This set represents another resounding re-release from the Cree catalogue, re-mastered and replete with (previously unseen) contemporary photos from Adrian Boot, extensive liner notes from Steve Barrow and Noel Hawks showcased in a gorgeous gatefold sleeve from designer Merten Kaatz. Now is the time to catch up with Scratch, The Upsetter, at the height of his powers and the deep, heartfelt soul of George Faith on this essential album.

Quality Toys for Dogs
Set name: Stuffed Animal Dog Toy Set (5 Pcs)
My puppy, who is now 6 months old, is partial to the duck. She carries this duck around as if she's the mom. All the animals are well constructed, soft, and light weight. I highly recommend.

Good stuffies for my Goldie.
Set name: Stuffed Animal Dog Toy Set (5 Pcs)
My dog is a heavy chewer so I don’t expect things to last long with him. But with that being said, he actually doesn’t go too hard on these stuffies and loves each and every one. Will they stand up to aggressive chewing? No they are stuffies. But for this price and for the quality, they are worth it for sure. Sometimes they don’t always squeak but I’m ok with that, because the constant squeaking can drive you crazy. I have a golden who can shove 3 of these in his big mouth but truly, one fits just fine. They are good sized for big dogs, it’s just that mine prefers to have his mouth stuffed like a chipmunk. He loves these stuffies and we will be ordering more for his endless toy box that I didn’t know I needed!

Good for puppies or dogs with little to no teeth!
Set name: Stuffed Animal Dog Toy Set (5 Pcs)
Good for the most part. Definitely not made for a heavy chewer! My dog shredded all 5 plushies within a couple days. Lol She got a hold of 2 them the first night and we woke up to a plushie crime scene. Fluff was everywhere and the squeakers were in pieces in the middle. The toys were unrecognizable, and no one could possibly have identified their intended animal shapes. Our silly girl was laying next to the massacred toys with what could only be described as a prideful grin.

Great assortment to keep the dog running
Set name: Stuffed Animal Dog Toy Set (5 Pcs)
My Jack Russell Terrier mix is madly in love with these squeaky toys. Every morning when he gets up he demands to have at least 4 throws of these as part of his morning ritual now. He loves them, and they seem well sewn and will last him quite a long time (but he has only a couple teeth), and they are washable which this dog mom likes. A good investment for my JRT mix.
