Intended as a low priced sampler LP to accompany the first re-releases in the 'Master Recordings' series and featuring one track from each. This selection of tracks was made by EFA staff but was rejected by AMS soon after - but not before a limited (unknown) number of copies had been pressed and released. AMS re-compiled the album himself and it was fully released as a 2nd edition in identical packaging with the same catalogue number. Contains a CD-ROM track with On-U Sound discography and biographic information.

The UKCD matrix gives the catalogue number as ON-U CD 101 and its sleeve reverses tracks 7 and 8 (correct above). The recording of this album took several years of on and off work and represented the first new release from On-U as a label for several years. Many unreleased demo / development versions of the released tracks exist plus several tracks that have not been released at all from these sessions. The FrDCD edition came packed with 3 Head's 'Blackwater' double album. On-U's chosen catalogue number for this release was later duplicated by Lee "Scratch" Perry's 'The Mighty Upsetter' album.

At least one completed but unreleased track from this project is know to exist. An album of dubs and remixes called 'Dub Setter' was also issued. The UKLP was a limited edition, the matrix number of the vinyl ('ON-U LP1007') being thought to be a mis-transcription of '1001' (the number given on the sleeve being completely different again: 'ON-U LP121'). On-U's official catalogue number for this release duplicates that of Little Axe's earlier 'Hard Grind' album.
