I once heard some babatunde tony ellis, actually I saw a LP in a shop and I didn't buy it, it didn't really catch me.. Maybe was my listening too fast (although I think I saw and heard it twice..)

Eunice Simpson - Fire Beard

That's surely the tune i prefer of all my records...not the most rare or expensive but i play it once a day , every day and i always enjoy it like the first time i put it on my turntable...or more

to ton1 :
which press do you have of Beware. Is it the Jah Live one or the Grove Music ? Both are great covers indeed

I have both and I can't decide which one I prefer. I'm forced to keep both of them . Even my desktop looks "beware"

Hi Benjamin,the live of Tony Ellis is a killer,but unfortunately the two studio lp's are not very strong.

IMO they are all strong enough to spin from time to time on my deck but yes, the live is a bit stronger

Indeed, it was a studio album I heard, I think it was recorded in Sweden or some cold part of the world.. I'll keep an eye on the live one if I see it.
Ton1, you have the collector's syndrom! lol

I know, it scares me

Greetings,
Just wanted to jump in and tell you about my most prescious vinyl.
I found a original Studio 1, Wailing Wailers LP back in the early 90's and purchased it used for $0.50. I got it back home and discovered that the label was a duplicate on both sides. I slapped it on the turn table and let it play. To my suprise this was not The Wailers at all, but a Live Studio 1 recording session of Jim Brown, Dillenger, Prince jazzbo, Lone Ranger, Jah Jessco, Prince Garthie Ect.. I was stunned... I thought for the longest time that I had a one of a kind studio live session. But I recently have discovered that the live session recorded on this LP is a Studio One record called "The Battle of The DJ's". from the early 1980's.
I don't think I could ever give that one up because of where I got it, why I bought it, Who I thought it was and then finding out who it actually is. This record also got me further in the depths of reggae music. This one is a top ten.
Respect

It has nothing to do with monetary value or being a rarity, but rather because it's a cut that always makes me feel good, brings back good memories, sounds righteous, and is only available on vinyl:

Sugar Minott- 'Inna Rub A Dub' 12" (Black Roots-BR 26)
