Some tough reggae business this week:<img src="http://www3.sympatico.ca/jasonofshaft/refresh/dennisbrown_superstarlp.JPG" alt="" />Also got a copy of the Canadian Micron release.  Not one bad track on here...and oh yeah, there's breaks.<img src="http://www3.sympatico.ca/jasonofshaft/refresh/dennisbrown_wolfsandsheperdslp.JPG" alt="" />Not as consistent as the LP above IMO, but "Boasting" has one of the hardest drum intro's in reggae and is a killer on the dancefloor.  Horns are off the charts.  BOth LP's above are the OG Jamaican issues.<img src="http://www3.sympatico.ca/jasonofshaft/refresh/jammydub10inch.JPG" alt="" />LOve that record symbol at the top.  Culture (King) had friends in high musical places and his tunes were always of the highest quality.  The man is a pure gentleman in person, too.  <img src="http://www3.sympatico.ca/jasonofshaft/refresh/joejoebennett_groovyjoelp.JPG" alt="" /><img src="http://www3.sympatico.ca/jasonofshaft/refresh/joejoebennettarticle.JPG" alt="" />MAybe the most talented trumpeter in reggae.  A fellow schoolmate of Jackie Mittoo's at Alpha Boys, Jo Joe is responsible for a lot more than he's named for.  Always had a heavy dose of soul/funk in material (check his Moodie "Ten Steps To SOul" and "leaving Rome", as well as his work with Llans thelwellsa dn Wayne McGhie).<img src="http://www3.sympatico.ca/jasonofshaft/refresh/nowgenerationlp.JPG" alt="" />This was a pleasant surprise.  Killer versions of "People Make The World Go Round", "Children of the Night" and the breakbeat-y "It's Too Late"<img src="http://www3.sympatico.ca/jasonofshaft/refresh/markholderbreak45.JPG" alt="" />Nice break intro from Guyanese singer.<img src="http://www3.sympatico.ca/jasonofshaft/refresh/bettywright_ilovethewayyoulove45.JPG" alt="" />LOve the Little Beaver version of this tune, so had to pick it up.<img src="http://www3.sympatico.ca/jasonofshaft/refresh/iroywailers12.JPG" alt="" />Sick I Roy 12 over "Three Little Birds" and "Waiting In Vain" Wailers rhythms.  Think this might sell for a bit.<img src="http://www3.sympatico.ca/jasonofshaft/refresh/skinfleshadnbones_butterfefish45.JPG" alt="" />Funky Funky Al Green cover with generally the same backign track as Al Brown's "Here I Am Baby" cover by more funked up  <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/yaoming.gif" alt="" />K in Canada.
