Recently arrived:

DENNIS BROWN - Words of Wisdom (ATLANTIC LC-0121)

Oh what a joy to listen to dennis brown's sweet voice...

Blessings,

Right now:

Cornell Campbell Meets the Gaylads (with SLy and Robbie)

on

Culture Press

This is a lovely vocal LP with some good dubbing included.

I love this thread. It has been the source of discovery of lots of reggae music that I've not heard or even considered before.

Leggo check out this album.
The sound is better than Vistasound/F#$Kpress.

Disco style album

Lion

Yes Lion, I have that one on the Ballistic pressing.

I haven't listened to it (Gayladds Understanding) for some while. Maybe that needs to be the next one to sit pon the wheel of steel!

And do I take it that there's some problem with Culture Press? What is that? Pirates?

Excuse me if I have missed something obvious here, but what is the connection with Cornell Campbell and the Gayladds? Or is this 'meets the' LP just a one-off collaboration?

So now on the turntable I have:

Gayladds - Understanding

on Ballistic


And, of course, Lion isn't wrong, this is a very fine LP.

I am a very big fan of good vocal reggae, and love harmony style vocals like this.

last record I bought was a version to Lion Youth Rat A cut Bottle called "My Little Woman" (Virgo Stomach 12") - label is blank so I don't know the artist. The flip side has a wicked dub with added sax.

Well Charge...that artist to the Rat A Cut Bottle riddim is Anthony Blackett.

James:

Are we a Warrior - how does it compare with Haile I Hymn? Similar stylee?
