LP<br /><br /><a href="http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=8A39C2A314237050">Positve and Constructive</a> Rockers - Earl Moodie and Tad Dawkins (Great Records) Pasted paper hand made/photocopied slick on front and back and split artist/side ooze independent butter (as does the deep groove and obvious New York text on the label I've come to peel my eyes for the finest disco, calypso, soul and reggae)<br />. One visuall digest of the recording studio and engineers, Senrab Recordings (inverse of Senrab is...) and Lloyd Barnes and (Prince) Douglas Levy on the mix practically guarantee personal satisfaction. A pinnacle recording of NEw York roots with heavyweight musicians/lifelong music muscimen such as Clive (Lizard) Hunt on keys and bass (how many ill records did this man contribute to?) Glen Osbourne , Tad and Earl, adn Connel Silvera (what else did this do????) offer a recording of classic covers (Delroy Wilson's "I'm Not a King", John Holt/Paragon's "My Heart is Gone") in addition to a couple self-penned monster (title track, Tony?), a couple with dirty dirty Barnes/Levy dubs. Worth every damn greenback this $200 Lp commands from the select few addicts blessed by it's musical influence.<br /><br />If anyone needs a dope tape rewind, stay tuned for the deep dub. Thougn not heavy on musical manipulation, the one-off rhtyhm is (IMO) more than ample satisfaction<br /><br /><img src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f1/soufriere1/positiveandconstructiveLP.jpg" alt="" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f1/soufriere1/postiveandconstructiveLPback.jpg" alt="" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f1/soufriere1/greatrecordlabel.jpg" alt="" /><br /><br />45<br /><br /><a href="http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=67E5F2EA6CD08AAE">Do The Moonwalk</a> - Count MatChuckie blank pre-release (C&N 2-3) Anyone who's cloes to me knows my obsession with all things Mittoo. Maybe it's his part-time Scarborough residence, love of this country, or young prodigy child a al Stevie that reeled me in. It's definitely the music. This man's musical output is mindblowing...and I don't think his personal releases are that good <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> (save for Keep On Dancing, the Toronto indy Money Makers, and 1980-ish Showcase LP with 3 tracks a side. Where Jackie excelled was an arranger getting paid 3 shilling a song for eternity ("The only royalties I knew was the Queen. I got paid more than almost every other Jamaican I identified with and got to ahng in the studio skulling school working in a industry I love. What more do you want") to create maybe the most timeless body of reggae/rocksteady/ska ever to be assembled. This tune illustrates JAckie pehcnance for the getdown in addition to his acompanying partners importance as quite possibly one of the first rappers around. No date on this, but I think 66-67 is a safe guess. Title is rather ironic as will considering matchuckie and the beat box-ish vocal accentuations contained within.<br /><br />Note the volume level fluctuations are not my doing - always love the end where it sounds like it's ending, but give you just that little extra.<br /><br /><img src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f1/soufriere1/countmatchucckie_dothemoonwalk45.jpg" alt="" /><br /><br />For The Love of The Swing, K in Canada.
