In the meantime, it's part of the zip file of Pavement tabs you can get here (click on "All Pavement Tabs!!"), though it doesn't seem to be available separately. It's only an 84k zip file, so it won't take long to download, but if you'd rather not get the whole zip then let me know and I'll send you the individual file.

In fact, information on 60s-70s ska and reggae seems to be pretty sparse in general, sadly. I also can't find mp3s of a couple of dancehall tracks I'm looking for, but I should probably stop being a cheapskate and buy them, except I have no idea where I'd buy them.
I'm having one of my intermittent reggae obsessions, as you can probably tell...

Do you have to go and buy tracks while they're still reasonably new, or is there a fair bit of back stock? And are the Greensleeves riddim compilations mixed or do they feature full-length tracks? I'm mainly looking for "Money To Burn" (don't know who this is by but it rocks) and Mr Easy's "Crazy", both of which are based on the Buy Out riddim, but I'd be interested in any other Buy Out tracks or, well, anything, really. (Cue lots of dancehall connoisseurs laughing at me - as you can see, I don't really know what I'm talking about at all. I feel far too white and middle-class to say "riddim", as well, but it seems fairly unavoidable.)
Anyway, thanks very much for your help, much appreciated, you rock. And an excuse for a record-shopping trip to the Berwick Street area is always appreciated, even if I haven't dared venture into the non- indie shops before :)

These were all good answers, by the way, even if none of them were what I was looking for. I was reminded of my problem this morning when I came across this picture of Roy Wood, which is the closest I've found, but is still not quite right.
https://i.imgur.com/PyaXHr3.png
I feel like the picture I'm looking for might also have been backlit, so you could see light coming through the subject's hair. In the picture I'm thinking of, the guy was definitely a ginger though. I'm wondering if he actually had a full beard, or if it was more like EXTREME 70s mutton chops (a la Ray Dorset, but definitely not Ray Dorset). He also did not have facepaint, but it's possible that he had eyeliner. The guy definitely looked more feral than Wood does here. That is to say that, despite his weird appearance, Wood has a serene look on his face. The guy I'm thinking of had a more wide-eyed intense look on his face, like he was surprised, or possibly peaking on acid.
There's also the chance that I'm not thinking of an album cover at all, and it was instead a promo shot.

Hey all, so there is lurking in ILX somewhere a reference and YT link to a TV play originating from perhaps Poland or Germany, I'm guessing late 70s/Early 80s.
It was a futuristic society story, 1984/Brave New World kinda thing, very minimal low-budget stage set, lotsa perspex and chrome iirc and I'm fairly certain it had a one-word title.

I once caught an episode of German pop show Formel Eins. There was a ridiculously OTT new romantic group debuting their single, a protest song against the cold war. I remember there was a background with a cowboy and a cossack playing chess - not sure whether this was a music video or just how Formel Eins chose to illustrate the performance - and I strongly remember the line "why did the Russians invade Afghanistan?", for its literalness and out of placeness in a synth pop bop.
This was decades ago (at which point ofc it was already a decades old rerun) and I may have exaggerated some or all aspects in my mind since.

Andy Partridge once wrote a mini-essay (or post?) about songwriting in which he used an extended metaphor about going around a racetrack built by his forebears (the Beatles, the Move, the Kinks, etc.) This may have been a myspace post? Or maybe that's just where I originally saw it, in my memory. It's not in the Complicated Game book and I can't seem to find it on Chalkhills (it wasn't really "news" or "press").
