Neither do I

There's yet another Little John record not in the archives. The Tristan Palmer Little John combination.

The Little John album sold on ebay last week-somewhere around £30 i think.

you didnt think I see you when you accidently fall,
You tear up the old dancehall"



Little John - Tear Down Dancehall - M&M 12"

The Little John i`m not sure of but if its the one I think from about 83/84 it has a track "Jump the Fence" I think. Lyrics go something like

"You didnt think I see you when you junp the wall,

You tear up the old dancehall"

That song title sounds about right, but it was not a 12" single of that song I had in mind.

I am sure it was on an album.

Rootsman,

then it must have been a compilation album featuring Sugar Minott productions. The M&M label was one of Sugar's outlets for his releases. Plus you can find the particular song on this reissue http://www.roots-archives.com/release/4 ... ight=75969

If someone intrested in, here just added:



check [Lone Ranger - Learn To Drive LP](http://www.discogs.com/release/1701040)

the two Little John albums you mention are in fact on and the same. "Leggo Me hand" is the JA Volcano press, with the cartoon cover....and the "Give the youth a try" is the US Live & Learn pressing of the same album.

"Leggo me hand" is much harder to find than the Live & Learn press...and not to worry, this JA Volcano press is a nice one, unlike some of the shadier volcano pressings from the 90's.

Get either one, get it on CD if you need to...it's a classic Rootsy Dancehall album!

Robe619: "Two of a kind" on Kangal Records (Some wicked Triston Palma Productions) - Definitely needs to be added to the RA(...too bad I no longer own a copy)!!

Bellyman: I Love that 12" Disco on M&M by Little John...I was just listening to it the other day and I realized that "Tear down the dancehall" mixes with a tune on that Minott/Black roots 10" (just repressed by wackies).
Did you ever wonder what M&M meant..I figured it stood for Minott(sugar) & McMorris(john). Since this Disco is Catalog #MM003, there must be a #001 & #002...but I have never seen or heard them...just wondering if they are Little John tunes, or Little John Co-productions as well. Wouldn't matter really, only, it would confirm my guess about the label name (M&M). -[totally random, I know]
