    Played some on the radio last week. Not much mixing going on. Intentionally all over the place genre-wise.. We spent a lot time before the show getting into the, um, "mood".

    This Month on Mellow Madness I am doing a sort of tribute to the 7 inch 45rpm record. Every week in July we will play only 45s for the entire show. I have some excellent guests making appearances all month. Fatback helped me start off the month with a really nice reggae set which you can listen to again here.

    Been hoarding reggae like a fiend for way too long
    without a mix to chronicle my finds.

    Here is the first in what I hope to be a number of reggae mixes.

    DivShare File - Cool_Pon_Your_Corner_Mix.mp3

    I started out with a bunch of stuff mostly from OG lps and a couple 12"s.
    Next I'll dip into the 45's.
    I like the way it turned out, and hope ya'll do too.

    Listening now, sounds fuckin great. "Is it Because I'm Black" is after Ride On in the play order. That is all.

    Man, this is full of songs I love and some I didn't know (but now love). Thank you very much.

  • eliseelise 3,252 Posts
    I downloaded this last night and have enjoyed it all afternoon...thanks dood!

    Good work!

  • Thanks. I'm listening to it right now as I write. I rarely listen to reggae so this is educational for me (late pass).

    Dope!

    Pure niceness and .

    Yup same lp but my pressing is on Thrill Seekers.
    This is the craziest Jamaican cover ever.
    I've seen where Jamaican sleeves are recycled detergent boxes
    turned inside out and printed on, but this takes the cake.
    This pressing has two pieces of paper glued over another sleeve.
    You can see some of the printing through the new pasted on parts.
    This was originally a DJ comp called "DJ Specials" with tunes
    like "Slipe Pen Road Rock" by Dillinger and "Miss Wire Waist" by Jah Woosh.
    I'm on the hunt for that one now, it looks mighty tighty.

    Is that "DJ Spots" on the Valdene label out of UK? If so, I wouldn't rate it as high as a lot of other stuff.


    Find this one:

    Nope "DJ Specials"...
    And the one you recommended is a good one, I have another one in that series.
    Topshelf stuff, I love me some Bunny Lee production!

    Yeah, Jamaicans had that recycling thing down way before
    the rest of the world. I remember hearing a story of how
    old time records were melted down and used to press new records.
    Don't know when or if it happened but that's shit right there.
    Would explain why it's so hard to find Pre reggae Jamaican music.

    Thanks, dude - this shit is IPOD CRACK


    I found a crazy US major label 45 press of "Uptown Top Ranking"
    a little while back - it's somewhere in my stacks, I think
    it's on Arista ... it was just mindblowing to find one of the
    best JA songs ever in the middle of a bunch of Eddie Money 45's,
    looking like an Eddie Money 45 on that 70's Arista label ...

  • SoulOnIceSoulOnIce 13,027 Posts
    Actually, here's one - it's on Sire, not Arista:


  • a lot of the bigger reggae hits probably had major label pressings - Double Barrel for example had an Australian pressing with a picture sleeve!?!

    As for the Althea and Donna, the album was on Virgin - I found it in amongst a shit load of house records being sold off by an old Sydney Dj - it was the only reggae thing there ..


  • SoulOnIceSoulOnIce 13,027 Posts
    Right. "Double Barrel" was actually a bit of a hit in
    the States, for the Big Tree label.

    I would assume Sire had a distro deal with Virgin, mainly
    leasing the "new wave" acts from Virgin, as was their main
    style at the time, but would pick up other stuff like reggae
    if it had potential, which "Uptown Top Ranking" certainly did.

    Thanks again for the love folks.
    I'm glad everyone was able to download it, transfer it etc.
    Sometimes these technical issues fuck with me!

    I was hoping to hear if Pay Czech dug it....
    Not trying to swing off his nuts or anything but dudes up on
    his reggae.

  • YES I !

    He likes it, he really really likes it...
    Thanks again to all.
    I'm glad people are diggin the effects, I thought maybe I went a bit overboard with them.
    I need to work out some lower fi jammies for the next one since I'm going
    way back the late 60's-early 70's jernts.

    who missed it.
