Checking (and hearing...)

REGGAE GEORGE - Three Wicked Men (Emmanuel Music 7" EM 033)

B-Side is blank, and comes with a wicked DUB version...

BTW... it says it's produced by "KUSH DANI"... never heard of him before... any info?


Blessings,

The Three Wicked Men 12inch with the cheesy synth was also released as a single, hence someone remembering hearing this in an earlier post

S&WSK DSR19850
A - Reggae George - Three Wicked Men
B - Version

The original version as mentioned above, by Gunosantos, is FAR superior all round

Reggae Georgs' best track by far is"Fig Root" with an absolute killer version.Just found a copy of this 7" about two weeks ago

I've been a big Reggae George fan for a while now, i remember when i first heard of him and i used to post up on here and no one ever new who he was. My fav tunes by him without a doubt are:
Three Wicked Men
Jamaican Collie
Sister Dawn

if anyone has MP3's of dreadlocks laugh, or georgy porgy i'd really like to hear these, i have lots of reggae george on MP3 including a couple of albums.

You were lucky norseman... wicked killa chune dis one!! It was not so looked after on ebay before... but seems to be highly sought after nowadays.. I understand why... Hopefully I was on it before the recent ebay explosion with thousands of new french people that rise the prices...
And the dubwise full of percussions is really crazy... I will play it dis week-end at the dance...

[norseman]

Yes litlet-used to have it on DAT many years ago until it was stolen and just recently came across it,but came wid a hefty price tag.Litelet? that name sounds familiar,didnt I send you a mislabeled tamlins 12" ???

[Litelet]

Ites norseman...

Well... I dont remember about a mislabeled tamlins 12inch... but I trade so much reggae records in those times that its really possible we came accross one day!
