<blockquote>Over the years I've picked up a few classic breakbeats that were pressed up on bootleg 12" in JA in the 70s:<br /> <br /><br /> <br />Arawak All Stars: Apache/Bongo Rock (Arawak)<br /> <br />Apachie Band: Apachie/Bungo Rock (Dell Tone)<br /> <br />[both of these are boots of the Incredible Bongo Band versions]<br /> <br />Captain Sky: Super Sporm (Dynamic Sounds)<br /> <br /><br /> <br />There are others, right? Were these mainly distributed to the NYC market?<br /> <br /><br /> <br />K in Canada? Somebody?<br /> <br /> </blockquote> <br /><br /> <br />Word is they're (the bongo bands, that is) actually NY records and were never pressed in Jamaica at all (which would explain why the text is similar to deeep disco and NY roots 12's of that era). May have ahd some Jmaican involvement, but after they had come to NEw York (maybe Phil Pratt?). I've got a "Pussyfooter" JA 12 - that's the only other I can think of (JA boots of US UBB-ish 12's). I'd wager this cateogory isn't 5 records deep.<br /> <br /><br /> <br />45's and JA breaks on the other hand....<br /> <br /><br /> <br />K.<br /> <br /><br /> <br />
