Well, when you and other people started talking about them doing "Book of
Rules," that made total sense. Great tune, I know it by the Heptones from
that "Rockers" reggae fillum that came out in the late 70s or early 80s.
And it sounds like the second one was being written down on the set list as
"Abyssinians" (cause they're the ones who originally did it), but is
actually titled "Satta Massagana" (or some variation on the spelling
thereof).

photography [really]... [if not you, apologies for the outburst]
