fadel,

i think youthman deh was talking about the albums'cover artwork and not cover versions of the songs. btw, what do you think of junior reid's cover of eleanor rigby? better or worse than bernie lyons'?

[Youthman Deh]

That Junior Reid's cover is a killer!

Maybe it's no more deep roots music as I prefer to enjoy it, but it surely is a great piece of music! The arrangement especially is crucial, and the instruments sound good. Vocally I rate it almost on top of Reid's best-ever-deliveries list.

And I apologise for completely misunderstanding the point. Somehow, I don't know how, I just got the idea that this thread was about cover art...

iam not a grat fan of junior reid,as iam not of most of the 80's music.the only stuff i enjoyed from him is his 45 produced by late hugh mundell:the driofter which is featured on the other side of the extended version of"can't pop no style"by hugh mundell.and don't tell me about his stint in black uhuru at all.he can't be anywhere near michael rose
