Looking for San San by The Upsetters
I had a 7" in the early 1970s which was entitled San San by The Upsetters although most people called it Sandra. I believe it came out in the UK on the Upsetter label (part of Trojan) and was probably released elsewhere but I have never been able to find it on any Upsetters or Lee Perry compilation. Can anyone tell me where I can get it in any form or at least confirm they know it? I'm starting to think I imagined it!

Looks like it was released as San-San on a Count Shelley's 45 in 1974: CS052A. It was also released on a Count Shelley's LP "All Star" CSLP08. On Tapir's discography site it says the track is actually by Dennis Alcapone.

Thank you ReggaeFire. You are absolutely right, I now remember it was on Count Shelly. Although it did feature singing and toasting, I wouldn't have said it was Dennis Alcapone. Can I get this "All Star" album anywhere?

look way out yonder, you see a little girl by the name of sandra,who really make my heart ponder..... you just got to be in love , sandra sandra sandra.
that brings me back. i can give you a copy from a cassette, which is the only copy i have. and yes i think it was the b side. i borrowed 2 albums and that 7 from a friend in london back in the 80s. i didnt copy the a side, but the flip was san san. only credited as the upsetters, but its a dj vocal. let me know if you want a copy onto cassette, i dont have cd. sorry.

Well, I live in London but I am happy to pay for you to send me a copy. I have asked every record shop I know. What is the CD?Bx wrote:I have it on CD - but how do we link up ?
You're a hero!

Hi. Yes I am still looking. If vinyl is the only way, I'll take it. What do I need to do?
