    I was dating a Caribbean English woman once, and she immediately assumed my grasp of reggae was the usual white guy's Bob Marley playlist. When I played her this in the morning she went "how the Hell do you know this track? My mum used to play this in the morning when I was a little girl in pigtails in Notting Hill..." Thanks Joe Strummer and the Clash, for giving me an avenue into good things.

      @@isty4491 Scratch battled depression and seemed to suffer from a host of mental issues most of his adult life. Musical collaborators during his Black Ark days of the 1970s--many of whom are still alive--all alluded to his "unbalanced" genius. It came to a head when he burnt down the BA in a what can only be described as a pique of madness. While remaining a major musical force with much more sophisticated equipment till the end of his days, that early magic of his home-made backyard Black Ark studio was never again recreated.

Those many Black Ark cuts from the 1970s are unequalled to this day. Even in this track, you can hear that "spongy" sound for which Scratch and the Black Ark were justifiably famous. A really unique individual whose like we'll not see again.

    Takes me back as a young teenager growing up in Ipswich, in the UK and being a small town, there were not many record shops, and every shop, we went into, the record had sold out. When I moved to London in the 1980's I managed to purchase a copy, and played it so many times. I had the neighbours banging on the wall, asking me to turn down the volume. I miss those days 😘

      I'm in Auckland as well, just a tad older than you. Song was first released in 1976 but when it appeared on the Rockers soundtrack in 1978 it gained traction on the international charts. This performance is from 1980 in Britain and that's when it had its best run.
