Pick ska tracks from 1963;you will find out that most ska tracks with harmonica came from that year. Apparantly it was the in-thing then!

Some wicked harmonica on St Catherine In Dub, by The Ring Craft Posse.

hi jumbo
i have this live album from roy richards but haven't had any info as for the band that performed with him,the location and the record label and so on.
would be glad if you can p^rovide some info.a wicked performance by roy richards with nice renditions of harr j's timeless"liquidator" and the wailers classic"nice time".
i would definetely bet it was either the soul syndicate or the now generation with val douglas and mickey boo on bass and drums.it was held in a very small venue judjing by the audience

@Fadel, cant say much about it. It's on Dynamic (DY-3367) and has 1977 as date. no further info on the sleeve. mayby recorded in foreign, as the mc announces it with..all the way from Kingston, Jamaica

as i listen to it now, i acctually doubt if i'ts a real live album, because the cheering audience sounds mixed in between the tracks..

had a quick look, dont think its been mentioned already,
last of the jestering - chigago steve. its on the flip of big youths natty no jester on the no jestering riddim. i'm sure dub vendor had some interesting story on their catalogue about this tune. i'll try find it and add to this post later.

i.k.

thans so much jumbo.could be also mixed .byall considered it seems like a live performance.a nice set too.
probably recorded in some little venue in the usa or the uk?

thans so much
