Taking a leisurely stroll through my vinyl record collection to share a few of my favourite Jamaican tunes and trivia, just like I used to do a few years ago in the House of Reggae podcast... https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/houseofreggae

Beautiful! 👌
If you don't know it already, I think you might like this LP. Produced by Derrick Harriott with the added bonus of a teenage Dennis Brown in a very soulful mood...

This is a great video. I went to see them play in London the following year, although Monty couldn't make it and was replaced by Tyrone Downie.
Still an incredible and memorable night.
This is a great video! 🎶

I can't find the other side of this 12" on YouTube, so instead here's a great clip of Rod Taylor just 3 years ago re-voicing the title track from his 1980 Greensleeves LP...

Happy 69th birthday to Rod Taylor.
Rod voiced this deep roots tune at King Tubby's studio in 1978 over a Channel One rockers rhythm by Sly & Robbie.
It was reissued in 1983 on this 12" along with its legendary DATC dub...

And here is Burning Spear at Reggae Sunsplash in 1982 with possibly his most impassioned performance of Slavery Days...

💯 and I love all the recording details they put on the label. 😀 Something that Greensleeves also did.

Happy 81st birthday to living legend Burning Spear.
It's over 50 years since he recorded this 7". Rupert Willington and Delroy Hinds' chanted refrain underpin Spear's passionate lead.
It remains a roots reggae classic. ❤️💛💚

I'm not buying as many records as I used to, just the occasional 'want' when it's not too expensive. Most of what I have is stuff I picked up second hand in the 90s and 00s.
I did sell off lots of my breakbeat and dnb 12s from the 90s, but the reggae 7s and 12s are keepers!
i got the first copies of this..from keith at daddy kool.he met pauline morrison at the airport..she had a box of 25..scratch paid her alimony IN TUNES haha! but it sounds like from outer space youtu.be/z5OGVQPyrKU?...
