SONS OF NEGUS CHURCHICAL HOST - Lion of Judah 1967

2011-07-23T09:39:00.003+02:00

Tribute to the emperor en ce jour de 23 juillet, jour de naissance du negus HAILE SELASSIE.
Ce single date de 1967, et est sorti sur le label de Ras Michael, quand lui et son groupe s'appellait encore Sons of Negus churchical host. Bon c'est sur que le disque craque un peu mais je n'ai pas réussi à en trouver une copie neuve...On notera au passage que le rythme n'est pas reggae (vu qu'il n'existait pas car c'etait la grande époque du rocksteady) mais purement Nyahbinghi dans la tradition Buru. Différent donc de la version que l'on peut connaitre de Cornell Campbell ou Bob Marley.

LEROY BROWN - Dancing shoes (1978 G Clef)

2011-05-20T16:18:00.006+02:00

Originaly this song was sung by Bunny livingstone with the wailing wailers in 1966 for Studio 1. A decade later, ska is here transformed into reggae (the drum sounds a lot like a Sly Dunbar pattern)for the pleasure of the ears, and Leroy ride the song with his sweet & silky voice...RUN IT !

QUEEN MAJEEDA - Our creator (1993 Conscious)

2011-05-20T08:18:00.005+02:00

Love dub poetess Queen Majeeda ! That one comes from her first LP "Conscious" released in 1993. Not much more to say, the best is to listen...

LONE RANGER - Reasons + Learn to drive (1983 Bebo's music)

2011-05-10T14:39:00.003+02:00

Two cuts from Lone ranger on the prophecy/Taxi riddim...I'm not sure it's Lone Ranger himself singing on the 1st cut...that one will later on covered by Johnny Osbourne !

ROY & DIZZY + THE FABULOUS SHOEMAKERS Valley of the dolls + Bye bye love (la fud del records)

2011-05-07T14:17:00.001+02:00

This one is from the legendary label La fud del records...Roy & Dizzy (i guess it's Roy "tenor" Grant and Johnny "dizzy" Moore) are paying tribute to the great King Curtis (american Sax) with the theme from "the valley of the dolls' that used to be a huge succes sung by Dionne Warwick at that time. A great reggae instrumental adaptation ! The flip side is an organ cut of "bye bye love" from the Everly brothers ! Early reggae stuff...

BUNNY HEWITT - Wheel o rock (1977 Wince)

2011-05-06T13:06:00.003+02:00

Don't know anything about that one...A bit out of key in the begining, this Bunny Hewitt must have been on e of the hundreds of toasters at that time. Still it's an original riddim on a small label, and i love that 7" and hope you'll enjoy it too !

RINGO & WELTON IRIE - Higgler move (Gemini)

2011-05-06T12:41:00.002+02:00

Great combinaison on the "never let go" riddim...so i suppose that should be a 1983 tune...
Biiiiiiiiiim !

KENNETH POWER - You wrong fi trouble Joshua + Joshua row us home (1972 Pressure beat)

2011-05-04T11:38:00.007+02:00

Political stuff back from the 1972 elections in JA. Kenneth Power is a pseudonym, cause it was too dangerous for singers to do it under their real name...Now we know that Kenneth power is Eddie Ford on the A side, and the famous duo DJ Carey Johnson & Lloyd Young on the B side...Clearly Pro PNP and Greeetings Michael "Joshua" Manley (and his rod of correction) they did a couple more singles in that vein. You'll also nbotice that they took the rasta theme (tough not original) "so long" for the riddim...Almost 40 years later this one is no more political but historical...Hope you'll like it !

JAH WALTON + ROOTS RADICS - Senator Dee + version (papular demand)

2011-04-25T00:28:00.004+02:00

I'm quiet busy these days and you see that i don't really post much things last months...So i'm changing my way to do my things and will post my new singles on you tube...It's almost the same thing (except for download but you'll have to connect to my channel when you'll wanted to hear the songs) but it takes me much less time cos i ain't got to do a clip and create a link etc...Hope it goes well for you !
Let's start with a Killer tune from Jah Walton A.K.A Joseph Cotton called "senator Dee" on the heptones "ting a ling" studio 1 riddim...It's a self production and pretty rare...but wicked for any rub a dub lover! Enjoy it

THE MAD LADS + ALTON ELLIS - Losing you + tumbling tears (1969 Studio 1)

2011-03-02T08:59:00.016+01:00

"Losing you" is one of the few tunes the legendary mad lads ever recorded. Famous with their massive "ten to one" studio 1 hit song, lead singer was the ever green Ricky Grant. The 1st version i've ever heard of that song was by the heptones, a good one produced by Niney in 1978 sung by Earl Morgan. Originaly, "i can't get over losing you" come from the great american band The delphonics, recorded one year earlier than the mad lads in 1968, as the flip side of their big tune "la la means i love you", that one being covered by jamaican superstar Alton Ellis...that we will hear too with "tumbling tears" wich i think he personally wrote. Great studio 1 stuff, tough there's 3 differents version of "losing you" included in one mix (LOL). If both tunes were recorded in 1969 with home band sound dimension, this 12" was remixed and issued in 1977, as the reverb & delay can recall...

THE MAD LADS : Losing you
ALTON ELLIS : Tumbling tears
