Reggae On The Moon

Post by Capt »

Reggae On The Moon + Early Days by Moodie (as listed in RA).. Always rated these lps since i got em somewhere during nineties..
Guess theyre compilations of seventies recordings, or even more recents toast over old tunes?
Never seen any outings of him released during seventies..

Who knows the story behind these and his other albums?

Possibly seen this guy hanging out with Barry Isaacs in London, but could be another Moodie..

Big fan of Mudie productions!

Check this:

I read somewhere that Harry Mudie had the same producer
as the Police at some occasion and that "reagge on the moon"
was not really Stings creation - don't know how true that is...

There doesn't seem to be too much out there on Moodie but from what I know he was born in Port Antonio,Portland, Jamaica and got started in the music industry in 1970. His first release was a single in '73 and he was deejaying for the Fatman sound in England.
