12"s that go from vocal to dub to dj

Post by Billy Boom »

Perhaps this has already been a topic, but I'm not too sure how to search for it!

I've got a couple like this:

Bim Sherman - Love Jah Only 12" (Hit and Run)

Goes from Sherman's vocals directly into a couple minutes of dub and then Jah Buzz's dj part - all in discomix style! First time I put it on, I was more than a bit disoriented when Jah Buzz came in!

Barry Brown - Cool Pon Your Corner 12" (Attack)

This one has Barry's vocals mixed into the dub, followed by a separate uncredited dj track on the same rhythm.

I imagine there's quite a few more out there.

I think the 12" Dr Alimantado did, "Born For A Purpose", would also qualify.

That Jack Ruby LP is a nice set. Were any of those tracks ever released as singles? The Ken Boothe track in particular I would love to have on 12".

Unless there's a 12" of Tado's "Born For A Purpose" besides the Greensleeves one, I don't think it qualifies because the dj version is on the B-side (although I didn't really make that clear in the initial post to be fair).

Jackie Mittoo, Brentford Disco Set & Jah Stone - Gold Streak is another Studio One 12" that fits the bill. Born To Be Loved is such an awesome rhythm! Would love to find that one someday.

Bus Dem Shut - Cultural Roots and U Brown

on the best of the Maytones cd there are some like this - don't know if they were originally released like that
Africa We Want To Go - Maytones and Trinity
Come Along - Maytones and U Brown

There's also a version by Disco Devil by Lee Perry that goes into a dub and then a Jazzbo cut
