Kamikazi Dub

[RasLeroy]

Greetings,I'm wondering if anyone can tell me what the vocal version of the dub track "Shaolin Temple" from Prince Jammy's 'Kamikazi Dub' LP?

Jah bless

I could be wrong Ras, but think the vocal could be Sugar Minott, the chorus goes "Well dread ina this world" sumfing like that....

I could be getting the track numbers mixed up, so hope someone else can confirm/dispute this!!
My copy of Kamikaze is hidden somewhere in the dub boxes - i'll probly be digging it up a likl later.....

Jah Bless.....

[jahsteppa]

btw a wicked piece of riddim........BAD, BAD, BAD!!!

[RasLeroy]

Found it! Yes, JahSteppa it is Sugar Minott fi true! It's his song called 'This World' from the "Bitter Sweet" album. Nuff thanks.

[jahsteppa]

Yes Bitter Sweet, thats da one......

Several of the Kamikaze trax are vox by Sugar Minott....u just saved me from having to search thru vinyl!!!

Ah what the heck, im gonna do it anyway!!! Reggae can be so surprising and eye-opening at the best of times....

Glad 2 have been of some assistance.

Bless up

Oh btw, u probly already know, but thers at least one of those Kamikaze trax thats had a vocal done by the late Lacksley Castell...

Its the 1st track (not sure what side) vocal entitles What A great Day It Will Be (when all JAH children shall be free)

Killer stuff from Lacksley (or Locksley), and there arent many of his tracks available either - quite an under-rated singer IMHO......

[RasLeroy]

Yes iyah, first track on side one is the Lacksley Castell dub called "Throne Of Blood". Deep dub fi true!

"Brothers Of The Blade", "Shaolin Temple", "Kamikazi", "Fist Of Fury" and "Swords Of Vengeance" are Sugar Minott dubs, and "Downtown Shanghai Rock" is Barry Brown's "Just Can't Live Like This".

Now I-man will try to find the source of the other tracks-dem.

One love and Jah guidance.

I think I have covered everything here. Happy to be corrected, of course.

Interested to know if there are vocal cuts to "Waterfront Gang War" and "Oragami Black Belt".

Incidentally, it's vocal cuts on the Jammy versions of these riddims, not vocal cuts on other versions of these riddims, that I am personally interested in.
