Pull Up

Post by general bundi »

It seems it is used only in reggae sound system or reggae show....The question is does it exist as long as sound system exist or was there a sound system in particular who began to use it and made it popular in the dancehall ?

So maybe with the first big sound systems at the end of 60's, selectors played the tune twice (or more ) when they saw the crowd get mad with it

Coxsone had a soundsystem in the early 50s... He used American R&B tunes..

Hail & Pull Up.
It must of started with the first DJs saying to the selector he wants the tune pulled back.
