Stunning. In my local boozer there was a guy called DJ Derek who used to play all these classics on vinyl...he was a white guy with a wicked Windies accent, he was maybe 50-60 dressed like a fifties dude and used a bakalite telephone as a mixing earpiece. He had the most humungous library of rocksteady, reggae, ska etc etc... He was massively respected by the Windies community. He was a legend. Anyone in Bristol/Bath will have heard of him. I treasure the memory of those evenings listening to his library and his introductions....
Fire this reggae song so many times I can sing it by heart. This is a reggae classic the college of New Jersey WTR play this song. I still have it on cassette the roots of EPO that was.
One of the largest rocksteady tunes, the riddim's been rehashed a number of times in reggae, roots and lovers rock songs, including by Marcia Griffiths (Run Up and Down).
Diamonds v Gemini sound from Luton in People's club 1984 Gemini played this tune and the crowd erupted they hauled the tune up about 5 times my selector Michael Jones was stunned that night Gemini had the crowd what a great dance
I an American and I was the same age as those bwoys in the UK back in 69 who really got the music, but bein in the US of course I was listening to the rolling Stones! In the UK, Jamaican ex pats were bringing their music and the "skinheads" were struggling working people that identified with the soul of reggae. That musta been a cool time in Britain, see the special about Trojan records..
