i fully agre with titus..weve had enough and sign of the times are macka b best albums by a long long way. Nowadays, the message is good, but the riddims on his albums are no longer to my liking. Sounds like Lucianos backing band back macka b, macka b deserves a better backing setup i feel. Luciano is good by the way

Right Sean, Macka´s Message Raised For Iver!
Yu know dat sound stylee is so much times a evry epoch fashion matter. Example, nuff Modern Roots albums use include tunes really softish - r´n´b or so, yunno? Mi use enjoy often Luciano´s "Serve Jah". Dis album contains nuff Roots classic legacy.


BLESS

true
now Luciano, i never heard a single word of anger or slackness from him, yet the backing riddims seem kinda mild to me, almost, in many songs, like soul or r n b music. But ROADBLOCK is a great , great, track with a heavy riddim too.Macka b too..soft riddims , shame cos in fact i prefer a bouncing roots riddim , but times change i guess.

Yes Jah Titus,

Thoses 12" are really really tuff classics. Reggae from the UK but so rooots!

This tune from youtube is having a discussion now on B&F

It's a Ras Muffet dubplate sung by Sista Rasheda back from the early 80's. Don't know really more about it exepct that this tune create some heavy response from the crowd in the dances out there.
Some times ago, somebody tried to sell this tune as the original duplate on eBay, but the B&F community directly denounced the fraudery. This didn't prevent someone to buy it over 300£!!!!

Matty-
I recently bought the "Watch How the People Dancing" comp of mid 80s British dancehall, It's actually quite good.
Noticed I've been listening to "I Wah Dub" by Blackbeard a lot lately, too.

Lastly, PABLO GAD is without question a top British artist that put out great vocal and dub material.
