People Grudgeful

Written by Lee Perry / Joe Gibbs

Originally done by Sir Gibbs on a 7" on Amalgamated Records, 1968, AMG 822.

People Grudgeful was released by Joe Gibbs, the boss of Amalgamated Records, under the name Sir Gibbs. It was a musical response to Lee Perry's People Funny Boy (on the same riddim), which had been a vitriolic attack on Perry's former producer and label owner, Gibbs.

Covered by The Fall as "Why Are People Grudgeful?" on "The Infotainment Scan" album of 1993.
