<blockquote>You know the John Holt song "Stealing Stealing" right? Luciano had a song on that rhythm ("Ulterior Motive") and Sizzla had one as well (which was an album cut but I forget the title - ANYONE REMEMBER IT?)<br /> <br /><br /> <br />Anyone know of any other songs on this rhythm? They re-released in 98 and the og must be from late 70s I'm thinking. K in Canada? </blockquote> <br /><br /> <br />There's a re-working done by Junjo LAws in '84 with Holt singing that too, but that is no the OG. Og is classic Treasure Isle rocksteady and thus this tune is a Duke Reid production from summer 1970. Sounds like you'd dig their stuff whichg was heavily rooted in the US sounds/records making their way over to JA. PAragons, Sensations ("Everyday is a Holidy" especailly), Phyliss Dillon, Alton Ellis (his material from this time is shockingly beautiful), Holt, Booth, Jamaicans "Ba Ba Boom" a '67 festival song winner, Techniques, Joya Landis, etc...<br /> <br /><br /> <br />Can't think of any rhythms other than covers of the tune or the JAzzbo chant over the rhythm, but I found this link for you, Cosmo:<br /> <br /><br /> <br /><a href="http://72.14.207.104/search?q=cache:raAChtVP1J0J:www.reggaezine.co.uk/stealing.html+john+holt+stealing+treasure+isle&hl=en&client=firefox-a">http://72.14.207.104/search?q=cache:raAChtVP1J0J:www.reggaezine.co.uk/stealing.html+john+holt+stealing+treasure+isle&hl=en&client=firefox-a</a><br /> <br /><br /> <br />Reason i'm saying that is beacause you mention both Holt and Booth, and Boothe's best tunes are from the same rocksteady period (Holt too IMO). Sugar comes a handful+ years later...or you could be digging solely their early dancehall stuff (which would mesh with the Sugar link) and I'm totally off base.<br /> <br /><br /> <br /><a href="http://www3.sympatico.ca/jasonofshaft/refresh/lovingpa.rm">Loving PAuper - DObby Dobson</a><br /> <br /><br /> <br /><br /> <br /><br /> <br /><img src="http://www.xs4all.nl/~tapirs/TILP%20002Q.gif" alt="" /><br /> <br /><br /> <br /><img src="http://www3.sympatico.ca/jasonofshaft/refresh/treasureislelps.JPG" alt="" /><br /> <br /><br /> <br /><img src="http://www3.sympatico.ca/jasonofshaft/refresh/altonelllis_rocksteady45.JPG" alt="" /><br /> <br /><br /> <br /><img src="http://www3.sympatico.ca/jasonofshaft/refresh/johnholt_letsbuildourdreamstogether45.JPG" alt="" /><br /> <br /><br /> <br /><img src="http://www3.sympatico.ca/jasonofshaft/refresh/joyalandis_illbelonely45.JPG" alt="" /><br /> <br /><br /> <br /><img src="http://www3.sympatico.ca/jasonofshaft/refresh/juniorbyles_breakuptomakeup45.JPG" alt="" /><br /> <br /><br /> <br />K in Canada.
