SOLD !!! | General Plough - Midnight Rock on original Clappers | ** MINT **

[ras andejo]

General Plough was born in Jamaica 1970 or '71. His mother passed away when he was only 6 months old and he never knew his father. Member of his family such as his grandma and aunt, Moley Isachar, used to take care of him.

His aunt used to cook, bake
cakes and prepare ital juices for the community living in the neighborhood of Trenchtown. The Wailers used to play ball near by and they often visited Ploughs aunt when wanting to buy food. This is what Plough has quoted how he got into music. Plough got musical advice from Jacob Miller and Larry Marshall taught him to play the guitar.

He got his name from Peter Tosh who named him:

P for people - L for love - O for observation - U for unity - G for generation (I was the next one) - H for the healing of the nation.

He recorded the album Midnight Rock in '80 when 9 years old, it was released in '83 on the Clappers label. Backed by some heavy Roots Radics rhythms this album is a rare gem.

After that his career slowed down. He worked with Peter Tosh at Dynamics, Beres Hammond, Sly and Robbie at
Channel One studio.

Jojo and Ernest Hoo Kim gave him access to their materials to build rhythms for people like Barry Brown, Brent Dowe, Michael Prophet, Sugar Minott, Sammy Dread, Philip Frazer, Max Romeo, Peter Ranking and General Lucky.

Great album that once could be found VERY cheap on eBay (sealed copies for $10 I heard). Wouldn't mind having it myself. What did you sell it for Ras Andejo if I may ask?

[jahadambom]

About ten years ago there was a fellow in Florida that had a box full of these LP, unopened (deadstock), selling theme for $10 each. Original press and usually very hard to find. I picked up several copies and spread them out here in San diego...and yes they went very quick!

The same thing happened with the Rastafarians "Orthodox" LP, I still have one more copy of that LP available if anyone is interested.
