The third (and last) in the series of Pama Intl’s limited edition 7″s from ‘Outernational’ is set to be a version affair. Mirroring the second 7″ (which featured I Still Love You More b/w Equality & Justice For All) the next 7″ is set to be the killer soul version of ‘I Still Love You More’ (Bongolian version) and a dub of Equality and Justice for All. The first 2 singles were red and yellow vinyl, this on will be on green vinyl completing the set. Again it will be hand numbered/300 copies only. It’s out in March, but be sure to preorder your copy now if you want one. The first two 7″s have now both sold out.
