Soul Strut

<blockquote><blockquote>That Negril is a killer record - and weirdly has Eric Gale all over it. I think Gale was Jamaican. Pressed out of Toronto on the Micron label. I turned up a small stash of them last year but they were all pressed terribly. I've had an 80s issue that played great though. Yours looks to be the original (label green/red instead of all red?) and if it plays well then it's a great score. Usually sells for $40-60. </blockquote> There's also a UK pressing (on Island?) that I believe is better quality. I found a review on amazon that told me: <blockquote> best instrumental reggae of all time, May 18, 2004 Reviewer:	Humphrey Bogart "rhythmdevils" (vt)[/b] - See all my reviews I have never heard instrumental reggae that i thought could ever really hold up to any of the lyrical masters like Marley and Tosh and Burning Spear and Max Romeo. This cd is some of the most musically advanced reggae i have heard. The tracks are all sizzling with dancing groove energy that is the perfect mix of soul and cheer. Paints a perfect picture of the beaches of Negril in Jamaica. If you like Reggae and james brown and marvin gaye and phish, i would buy this album. its kind of a mix of the four.[/b]</blockquote> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/oof.gif" alt="" /> </blockquote> There's a yellow micron issue that sounds fine. I think Pete (Weston of Micron) shipped all the shitty copies down south 'cause I've yet to run into any of those issues. That band lived hear for a minute - used to be able to find it at just about any record store in town. You guys should hear the 45! K.
