Man, B Lee was an uptown poseur who played the fancy hotels. He got sent to the ghetto to pick up on the new sound, and give it a more "acceptable" presentation. (There's a story of the Skatalites being a little too rough to represent JA in the Worl…

Gracias SS. Gracias Google.

Is this the diabetes thread?

I hooked him up with records a few times. I could tell he had great taste, but I had no idea until I saw him spin at UCSC. He had a good handle on how to rock the Beckys and the real heads at the same time. Talk about too hip for the room. Didn't …

Dude from Outernational Records (used to do mail order lists, now he's prob on the bay) was discussing it with Limonious in the 90s. I think it only got as far as L drawing some custom 45 sleeves for him (I have a few, sorry no scanner).

You sure that was ATC? Yesterday? http://www.npr.org/templates/rundowns/rundown.php?prgId=2&prgDate=04-10-2008&view=musicview

1-trick pony, Global Village, ooohhh that's my sh*t right therrr. Thanks.

Hate to break this to you alice but a)these brats have no power b)this protest, like 99.7% of all protests, will have no practical effects whatsoever c)they were more interested in this protest as an excuse to skip school than they were in 'affe…

I'm not from the area. Someone asked me the other day if I'd heard of him. After extensive googlizing, I've discovered airchecks from the 70s. Found the streaker song in a podcast, too. Say hello to my people next time you're in Dolton!

Did you know that Larry Lujack (& The Streakette Orchestra) had a single on Curtom? "Ballad Of The Mad Streaker," ca. 1974. Only worth playing once, but I'm keeping it just for the novelty of Superjock on Curtis Mayfield's label... Yeah, I wa…

I was gonna have Johnny post another Tony Humphries where he's burning nothing but West End classics pitched up to plus 8 (or maybe even 45rpm, what the fuck do I know?) and doubling em He's got a few pitched down on this one Wow.

Oh man, me and my buddy stumbled up from the beach when they were shooting (the original) at the Boardwalk. That was some funny-looking shit, these dudes dressed like a Prince video or sumpm. I guess I should've really tried to be an extra. That wo…

I have the original of "Rock Steady Coxsone Style" (let's just say a pre-1980 pressing-"original press" is a questionable term to use w/ Studio One). Mine sounds great on lp, I think you got a typical repress. I'd be skeptical about the quality of t…

Whoah, I was just telling my buddy about him the other day (whatever happened to...) Good to see he's doin his thang!

my (dim) understanding is that there are two fees associated with sampling - one concerning composition and one concerning performance. The expensive one, i take it, is performance. It is why it is more expensive to sample a song than to do a cover …

The Kinks into "Good Times"...man that is a record geek segue. I am feeling your "mix" at this moment. That is all.
-
For me the best cut is (hands down) the Ticklah rock steady version of "How Long". That is TASTY. Don't sleep on Ticklah's CD, either.

I was wondering when someone would mention her. Tons of hype going on now. I find it boring, but I have no problem with a classic soul revival. Just wait for the ipod commercial using Boscoe ala Feist. She blew up cause of that. (Or insert Karen Da…

Out here in the west there was nothing comparable goin on. A couple of times when I knew i had a friend visiting NYC I'd beg em to tape whichever show was on. I got two good ones that way... These vintage airchecks are one of my favorite things on…

LOOOVE comfort Woman. Totally unique blunted dub-soul sound. The latest CD The World Has Made Me The Man of My Dreams is great and totally unique. Feeling the bonus track "Soul Spaceship".
-
The other version is a slightly more instrumental mix- it just drops some of the vocals out. Both are definitely Jimmy Cliff.
-
I used to listen to these records when they came out and wish I could hear the isolated tracks. I've waited years for this!! My eternal nerdly thanks to you.

Gotta say they surprised me with Some Girls. That got a lot of spins back when it came out.

all of the twilight circus soundsystem releases.

Aswad and Steel Pulse (and for that matter Pato) all started out more roots than their later more pop incarnations. Pulse played some concerts in the early 80s that stand alongside the best live reggae ever. Later they returned with the weak-ass tin…

That's a bummer because he was the only one talking about poverty and the wealth disparity in this country, and the power of corporations. As long as he was in the race, there was a chance we'd hear about these topics. Dude never got ANY attention …

Alright, let's see what happens with the next more sober edition.
