Levi Root's (+ various artists lp) 'Jah Will Never Let You Down' has some string sounds on several of the tunes. They sound ok, but I'd rather hear the tunes on that lp without the strings.

litelet-
the violing player pon your riddim (white rum raymond) has also played on john holts' "the tide is high". apparently this tune was hot in jamiaca in its time... i imagine white rum has been featured on several other well known songs.

Jahganga, cool to hear about this "white rum raymond" (that doesnt sound real rasta ;-)). By the way, how do you know his name, is he a member of the Simplicity People (Gussie P)? Is he Jamaican?
Thanks for the infos! Litelet
