Riddims with very special instruments

[Litelet]

Hi...

After the *violin* tread, would be glad to know other old riddims with special instruments...

Of course Pablo's xylophon....

I have one in mind, with a pan pipe... Johnny Osbourne - Rich In Jah Love....

Or a killer harpsichord on Fabulous Five - Arabian reggae...



What else?

do you know one with clarinet? I love dis instrument...

Hi Litelet!
BTW nice horns mix on the Ancient Hornslines thread...
I play clarinet and always searching some tunes with this instrument...
I think in this album, track one sounds like a clarinet, but right now I'm not sure...

Check out Sowell Radics` lead guitar, played through a talk box on several DATC productions. Tip: 12" Late Nite Jammin / Late Nite Dubbin. Murder!!

[ACEtone]

Clarinet:
'Salt and Pepper' and 'You are Adorable' on Scratch the Upsetter Again

Harmonica:

'Some Like it Dread' - Big Youth
'Big Youth Special' - Big Youth
'Dread Organ' - Big Youth
'Blackman Message' - Big Youth - all on Dread Locks Dread (rec. at Randys, mix at J. Gibbs)
All very fine tracks with excellent harmonica/mouth organ

'Dubwise Situation'
'Last of the Jestering'
'Verdict in Dub'
'Wire Dub' Impact Allstars - Forward the Bass (rec. and mixed at Randys)

Also 'Miss Wire Waist' by Carl Malcolm of which 'Wire Dub' is the Dub.

That was fun!

Seems there were a number of Randys recording that utilized excellent harmonica parts

This one has some wierd and wonderful sounds on the last three instrumental tracks.

How about Richard "Dirty Harry" Hall's fife playing on numerous Yabby You cuts?

Or Lee Perry, blowing his watering can to imitate a roaring lion.
