Hi brothers and sisters,

track 3 "Ordinary Version Chapter 3" on the Impact All Stars "Forward The Bass" From BAF has a very entertaining conversation between Errol T and a beggar who comes to try out his skills in the mixing studio

That's my favourite tune with chat throughout. I read somewhere that Errol T played the kid who came to try his skills (because he had the younger voice). I don't know if it's true though!

Then there's a breakdown in the Breakfast In Bed rhythm - Scotty's version presumably?

And is there a (post-Ark) Scratch tune where he stops half-way through to scream "I've been working in a studio all my life and still haven't got any f***ing money!" or something similar? Heard about that but never found it.

i agree wtih scratch's stuff having lots of funny words.
dub tryptich, mentioned in another thread, has 3 albums with some hilarious chitchat on them.
dr on the go
my name is kojack

[Roddy]

Rodigan was talking about how sometimes the conversations actually sold the record more than the song itself

But to me, i have friends who don't listen to reggae much but everytime they hear I-Roys conversation with the Kid asking for a Stick of weed in "Blackman time" they are always laughing

The Dr On the Go chat comes from an old 70s English TV sitcom called Dr In The House.

Not really a funny intro but a classic one in my book is "Dynamic Fashion Way" (the version of Ken Boothe's "Old Fashion Way") which has the great line:

"Studio kinda real cloudy like I say"

Also, he inexpicably calls the tune the 3rd version of Old Fashion Way even though it was, by all accounts (except this recording), most definitely the first time the song had been versioned (which I suppose makes it the 2nd version) while Dennis Alcapone had the 3rd version called "Spanish Omega."
