ring of fire

[6anbatte]

Just been to Dub Vendor, bought a few albums and, bizarrely, inadvertantly stumbled across another "Ring of Fire" version - "Black Lash" by King Tubby!
There's synchronicity for you!

Music Is My Occupation - the Skatalites features the horns from "Ring of Fire"
A rockers version of the song was recorded in the 1970s by Vin Gordon under the title "Tribute to Don D" or something. A King Tubby's dub of it "Dub Is My Occupation" can be found on a blood&fire cd (forget the title).

It's on "Dub Like Dirt".

I am actually waiting for someone to point out that the horn "riff" is from an old Tito Puente track or similar as I assume it must be.

Does anyone out there know?

[unorthodoxconqueror]

[Congo Bunny]

Doesn't Triston Palmer do a version on the joker smoker album called something like king of the ghetto?

Oops no its calleed ghetto king

I'm sure there are other versions out there too.

On the cash front I love his track 'any old wind that blows'

always thought "ring of fire" would make a good name for an indian curry house or hemorrhoid cream.
