Hey does anyone know where this excerpt is from? It's a live Barrington Levy clip and I have it labeld as "Live Intro" but that's all I know. I would love to find the name of whatever album this performance is from.

    i just heard for the 1st time an alternate version of this... different lyrics and the beat is slighty switched up.

    where did you hear it ? (dubplate related)

    This might be the alternate version to Here I Come you guys are talking about -

    Come (Jah Lifetime)

    Original Jah Life cut of the rhythm.

    good call larry.
    but why 'original jah life cut' - its years later right?


    edit - i think i know what you mean.
    'scuse i.

    while we're at it, someone asked for an i.d. a few years back, ragga tune with stones 'miss you' sample. think i twigged it if still needed.

    No, you're right MJ. I meant to say it's Papa Life's first cut of it but that is not correct, Life has pre-digi versions of it as well.

    The better-known Levy cut (Here I Come) is a Jah Screw production from '85. The Jah Lifetime Come is a later tune.

    Dennis Brown's Revolution is the definitive first cut of course.

    So many cool versions of this though! Here's one of my favorites -

    yeah this is just called "come"

    been a staple for me for years this track murders!

    Cosmo I'll hit you up with the studio version

    also, if you've never seen barrington live... make it a point to do so immediately

    Taking a guess it's a Sunsplash recording of some sort.

    Also, If memory serves me correct. Here I come dropped in 84 on London Records. With slight variations throughout the years. I remember the slight blow up in 90 with many knowing the track as Broader Than Broadway with Profile doing a best of album and releasing a single of Here I Come (Broader Than Broadway). A video dropped also in 90 I believe.




    Gotta love the old brit vidz as well.

    '91 with Rebel MC & Tenor Fly. Here's a dodgy TOTP performance.

  • amphibiousamphibious 147 Posts
    That's under mi sensi, which is also of course an absolute destroyer.
