This is the unreleased long version of the renowned song 'Graduation in Zion' from the movie 'Rockers'. While Jack Ruby was working with Burning Spear during 1975, Kiddus I was also producing some songs with Jack. Theodore Bafaloukos, the director of the movie 'Rockers', encountered their studio session and asked him if he could use the scene and song in the movie. This is why the song was never released, officially. A few years later, Kiddus I recorded this proper version and it allows listeners to see a pure majestic 'vision' of Kiddus I. The B-side contains a full-length version to the A-side.
DRUMS: Mikcy Boo, BASS: Chris Meredith, LEAD GUITAR: Earl "Chinna" Smith, KEYBOARD: Ozou'ne, PERCUSSION: Kiddus I, BACKING VOCALS: Ken Bob, Kiddus I, I Seers.
