From the recording Freedom Fighters ALDBS7005
Landing on Alchemy Dubs is our fifth release on 7” format, Alpha & Omega’s classic “Freedom Fighters” featuring Paul Fox on vocals, remixed and dubbed by Ojah.
This track first appeared on Alpha & Omega’s “Overstanding” LP from 1991, and was originally voiced by Nishka. The vocals featured on this remix version were recorded by Paul Fox at a later stage. Some of the original stems have also been used here and others have been re-recorded and reprogrammed.
On the B side we find of course a dub version. In this case, out of the different dub mixes, the dubplate mix was chosen to go on the record.
Limited edition of 600 copies, hand-stamped and hand-numbered, served in a thick custom reversed kraftliner sleeve.

Lyrics
Freedom Fighters - Lyrics :
The whole world is mad
The whole wild world has gone crazy
The whole world is mad
And I'm the only sane person
Freedom fighters, freedom fighters
They are not understood
Freedom fighters, freedom fighters
They can not be understood
The whole world is mad
And they just don't understand
The whole world is mad
And they just don't understand
They killed off all my friends
Malcolm, Marcus Garvey and Martin Luther
The rest is too much to mention
And the whole world is mad
Free freedom fighters
Free freedom fighters
The whole world is mad
And they just don't understand
Yeah
The whole world's gone crazy
They lie, shoot, kill and maim
And tell them that they're all gone insane
Claiming that they should be locked away
Just because they call for human rights
The whole world has gone mad
And they just don't seem to understand
The whole world is mad
And they just don't seem to understand
Crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy
The whole wide world
The whole wild world has gone crazy
