I will try and list the, or maybe i will just zip it up and make a download for u, it is a good album, some nice tracks on there, would be great to know this is you! I think i remember a ranking trevor who did some ska stuff in the early 80's but i could be mistaken, but the cd i have isn't that one, did someone say there was another ranking trevor?

I think we have OUR Ranking Trevor, a regular, knowledgable and friendly poster on these forums.

And you've maybe been listening to this Ranking Trevor - here:

I am a GREAT fan of this Ranking Trevor. I collect anything I can find with his voice on. He's probably my favourite toasting DJ artist. I love his melodic vocal delivery.

i think this is probably who it is, it clears things up a little for me, it's probably one of those albums i have, would need to check songs to id it properly.

No bredda,gunsano

My Good Friend Ranking Trevor (Also known as Ranking Superstar)

http://www.roots-archives.com/artist/294

cut A So Me Chat in 1982 pon "Volcano" label for "junju lawes"

This is gettin confusing right......

i cut 95% of i songs with the name "Trevor Ranking"

Sometimes "Papa Trevor" and occasionally "Ranking Trevor"

That Was the DJ stylee in the 70's and 80's.

Anymore Question,Just ASK.

Ranking Trevor and Ranking Superstar aren't the same people (regardless of what Roots-Archives says).

Ranking Trevor; give us some tunes and on what labels they where so we can check them out on Roots Knotty Roots.
