Presenting The Coxsone Affair

Post by kalcidis »

Trying to figure out the corresponding vocals to the dubs of Lloydie Coxsone's [{Presenting the Coxsone Affair}](http://www.discogs.com/Lloyd-Coxsone-Pr ... se/3626016). Any help is appreciated. I've uploaded a small sampler of all tracks to soundcloud which can be heard [{here}](https://soundcloud.com/kalcidis/present ... smanaffair)

These few are the ones I've ID'd so far (with some help):

1.
2. Itals - Inna Dis Ya Time
3. Merlene Webber - First Cut is the Deepest
4. *(This one makes me think of Stealing Stealing)*
5.
6.
7. Earl George - Soulful Lover
8. Mighty Diamonds - Jailhouse
9.
10. Joy White - My Guy

It seems it's foremost Lloyd Campbell productions (at least three of the identified are) and one Channel One (#8).

I've never ever seen or heard this LP before let alone know the tracks. Is it extremely rare and expensive?

soma99: I don't know what to answer to your question. It was quite expensive (the most I've paid for an album at least) but not near as expensive as some of those £150-£300 dub albums. As for its rarity it does seem to be rare but then again you see it occasionally on eBay.

jj: But the question remains: any of the rhythms you might have heard and could help me with? :D

Was given more track title from this auction:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PRESENTING-TH ... 46110725ff

It's a great set. A bit too deep bass on my rip perhaps. Will have to re-do it some day.

I listened to the samples and neither of them are songs that have rhythms featured on the dub LP. Was there anything else you might have meant with the link?
