a list of some inches mr Spence recorded:

* for the rest of my life b/w version (7'' grounation)
* jah jah train (7'' groovemaster)
* go deh natty (7'' groovemaster)
* let locks grow b/w natty locks (7'' horse)
* darling dry your (7'' horse)
* sweet wanton (7'' impact)
* natty no witness (7'' soul power)
* jah for all b/w/ version (7'' groovemaster)

Bellyman already mentioned the wackies.

Some nice tunes included, allthough my fav is 'step in jah jah'.

Can anyone point me in the direction of "Speak Softly"? CD (although not sure if it has even been on CD) or vinyl. I searched the usual suspects including Ernie B's and eBay with no joy.

Could anyone burn this for me if it isn't readily available? Obviously, I am willing to pay for any expense incurred.

Thanks.

I got a spare copy of Jah Jah Train if anyone wants to trade. I've always thought Barrington Spence and Douglas Boothe were one and the same... Also another LP credited to Spence is Give Love A Try on Kabana (Nigeria), but there's only one song by him on it, a different vocal on I think riddim of Natty No Witness, which is an unheralded shot imo. I justed picked up another TRGrooovemaster single by him called Get It On (not Marvin Gaye!) which is as strong as his other TR's. My other fave of his is his version of I've Done More For You orig. by Freddie Scott, I think. Every guy with a live-in girlfriend needs to play that from time to time!!
