Info needed: Phantom

Post by Jah Pasquerel »

I wonder if anyone familiar with this DJ named Phantom.
I don't see his name here, though he did a few mad tunes like 'Pick Yu Cherry', 'Bubbler Inna Dance', etc. As far as I know, he recorded with King Tubby during mid-80s. Anyone knows what tunes he did?

uuuhhh i love Phantom.

There was also an engineer at king tubby's in the mid-80's called Phantom so i suspect them of being the same. I believe he has made 10 tunes max. Among them is "Nah Gee It Wey" with Monkey Lotion, "Kock Out Batty" and "Kill Mi Wid It" with Super Barry all for king tubby.

Yes you really need to, since they are really rare. "Kill Mi Wid It" (Very nice tune) is on the Punaunie LP on Waterhouse. Easy to find. Nah Gee it wey as rather hard to find but keep an eye out. Kock Out Batty is not that hard to find either. Stylee is also kinda easy to find.

best Phantom tune IMO is "Sorry Fe Dem" on Firehouse 7", it's on a King Tubby's lick of Harry J's 'computer' (sleng teng) riddim.
wicked tune.
