There's a famous b/w shot of Lydon and some Rasta standing shoulder to shoulder with their arms crossed over their chests.

Who is the rasta? I know it isn't Letts. He has a beard and a tight t-shirt on with name/make on sleeve. Is it U-Roy?

Lydon has sun visor on and a shirt with serial number on pocket.

Big Youth, surely. There's a couple of b/w pictures of the two of them in Big Youth's Blood and Fire set.

It's Big Youth. There's a reproduction of it in the Soul Jazz compilation, In the Beginning There Was Rhythm..

I think "Mystery Rasta" would make for a great superhero.

You're right Alex, I can see it all now:

The world is in the evil grips of Babylon - Jah people cannot even smoke their ganja and sleep in the sun in peace, without fear of repression.

Only one man can save them.

Only one man has the power.

His name.... is Mystery Rasta!

Mystery Rasta has made a solomn vow to the ghost of King Tubby that he will smite the oppressor and overthrow them so that his people can live in peace.

Unfortunately he's far too stoned right at this precise moment; but just as soon as he's finished this joint.... and jus' had a lickle sleep.... and maybe rolled himself another joint....
