SUFFERATION * TREVOR CLARKE * STUDIO ONE 2082 * UK
Trevor Clarke only had one other side issued for Coxsone Giving Up On Love, issued the previous year, although this was his only British release. Sufferation is a song about just that: Sufferation, the song details the singers plight; living hand-to-mouth from day to day, days that are without direction or meaning, with little or no money and no prospects. It is a song that is likely to be, at least as far as the money goes, an accurate portrayal of their own lives. The above record was issued with the same sides as its Jamaican counterpart.
