FAB I saw this on your list of melancholic roots. Is it really good? I'm thinking about getting it.

I count only 1 killer and 5 good songs in, the killer one are a great one and in the good songs you have some happy vibes but that i think you will like...
Happy to see that my "melancholic topic" serve somebody!

Fabroots,

How funny/odd. I tagged this lp with 5 good songs too. 5, right on the dot. And I would say 1 killer is about correct also.

I would tell which ones I rank as toppers - but I'm hoping you'll show your hand first

ok:

02 Nice time
03 Finders keepers
05 Tryin to school i
06 Jah heavy load

are goods for me...

The killer one: 07 "knop up time"

The rest is flat and easy for me. But not far to be good ones for some...

Same for you??

Hi Fabroots,

Well gosh, maybe we should compare opinions on other lps too because our tastes are running side by side. We are only off by one song, Nice Time vs. A Little Bit of Everything. But the other 4 makes for a matching list.

And 'Knop Up Time' - sure, I'd settle for that being the top song on the lp. Isn't that riddim a reworking of 'Declaration of Rights'???

I also rate Jah Heavy Load and Trying To School I as good ones.

Finders keepers
Tryin to School I
Jah Heavy Load
Knop Up Time

Even though I like much of this lp, in each song there is something that gets a little under my skin, whether it be a slightly odd chord change, too much rock guitar or Richie wording something weirdly. Yes, I am too picky at times. But these tweaks turn this lp into a B- as opposed to what could have been an easy A. Still, a B- lp is one to keep and appreciate.

Yes i recognize the bass of "declaration of rights"
