One Rhythm LP`s

[Well Charge]

"Worries in the Dance" is one of my favourite reggae albums. Nearly every song on there is pure killer.

[Skirt & Blouse]

""General for all General"" was another Hitbound LP like the Worries set.

"Mek we Jam, Mek we Jam, Jamaica 21" Killer track from it

The other three Channel One riddim LPs put put around the same time were

- Unmetered Taxi
- Hypocrite
- Adam & Eve

Once "Sleng Teng" arrived a year or so later, the floodgates opened!

Ok Kalcidis.. Saw it twice on the Jamaican? Succes-label, didnt come with a sleeve.. Think the LP didnt have a title, altough there was already a track on it called 'Yamaha Skank'..
In early eighties it was issued on UK Succes-label entitled 'Yamaha Skank' (see pic Ital Kermar added) and in US on Tads label called something like 'More Conversation'.. Believe the the US-issue also has one more tune on it..

My copy looks like a UK issue but only has a "Success Disco" standard 12" sleeve and Success labels but no details at all, in fact I didn't know it was called Yamaha Skank till after I bought it. With it being in a discomix sleeve that must make it a later pressing than 1974 though I think.

Has anyone mentioned "Water Pumping Top Ten" - that was another pre-Sleng Teng one (using 2 different cuts of the rhythm, some on the Jammy's cut and some on the Tad's one).

Yes, the U.S. version was called "Conversation Stylee", with a drawing of a pair of lips and a telephone on it. Like so many records, it was all over the place at the time (circa 1981), but I don't think that I have seen one since.

I always found that these LPs were good for a track or two for playing out, but I don't think I have ever listened to one from beginning to and, through both sides A & B.

'Converstion Stylee' was on Tad's label, TRDLP 11580. Slightly remixed or mastered versions over all.
