A different mix of "Rock and Come In"

[Selector J]

Greetings,

I heard a different mix than the Robin Hood version of Barrington Levy's "Rock and Come In" and it was an absolute scorcher!

The version replaced the horn lines with a high sounding organ, possibly a synth, but definitely no horns. It still sounded very much like the Roots Radics (even more so, in my opinion). On top of all that, it was an extended version.

I really liked the Robin Hood cut but now all I want to listen to is this other version. Does anyone know anything about this version?

Where it came from?

Where I could find it?

Why it was inexplicably left off the original album AND the reissue?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. (I can't get the organ line out of my head...)

Rock and come in,
Selector J

i have heard this version many times, before i picked up the robbin hood album i use to think that the version you are talking about was standard. i was dissapointed when i found out otherwise. isnt it more of a minor chord thing? if not than there is a 3rd version that is a scorcher

[Selector J]

isnt it more of a minor chord thing?

It very well may have this element, as well. I am not a musician so I could only make a guess about this point.

The definite identifying key is that the descending horn line in the album version was replaced by an organ/synth. There are no horns, at all.

Ites,

I suppose this will remain a mystery...

i wish i could help you, the only time i ever heard that version was when i was surfin cyberspace and found a barrington tribute page on myspace that had that version.
its a shame cuz that is a way better version than the one that is on the robbin hood album. try looking through myspace, something tells me you will find it selecta

That is way Cool Mashdown.

Great tune.

PLEASE Tell us more about this fantastic version.

Label? Year?

[Jah Glu]

I think it is from 98. Coz thats what it is called on the putfile link

[mashdownfortyfive]

its called 98 because i guess there were already another 97 files called 'come in' on putfile

on the label it says 1976 although its obviously 80s imo - label is 'contact' & geovanni on the matrix, how long has he been etching? might give an idea of how old this press could or could not be

[leggo rocker]

Is there anything else on the Matrix? Can you do a label scan for us? Is it a 12 inch cut or a 7?

It's a great version. I love the tempo.
