Quite why the Bullet label started with catalogue number 399 is not entirely clear but it’s possible this was some kind of reference to “Bullet 399” in the John F Kennedy assasination.
The Sheiks reference on Throw Me Corn was not not on the Jamaican issue and may have been an invention by Pama, there are harmonies on the track though so maybe that’s the Sheiks?
Darling Remember is actually by Patricia Edward, though again there are two voices on the track, a male and a female so maybe it’s supposed to be Patricia And Edward? The Jamican issue came out on Carib-Dis-Co and had the same two tracks as on the UK issue.

There is a talk over cut of Boss Walk produced by Rupie Edwards called Handicap. This means that either the credit on the Bullet 7″ is incorrect or there was some rhythms selling/sharing going on.
