Hi,
Back in the eighties I bought this album in the record store, which I submitted at Discogs
http://www.discogs.com/Various-Showcase ... se/5206800
It's a great and also very rare showcase album, without picture sleeve, probably released late 70s, early 80s. After all these years I still don't know who is the singer "Jah Pardy". Is it a nickname/ANV ?
Some tracks are credited to Jah Yabby U, but I don't think it's Yabby U performing.
Does anybody own this one too, and/or got some more info. ?

I have it too, seen it twice in m life only. Early 80's I would say 82. Prince Lincoln riddims, real nice. Doesnt stick with Prince Lincoln's vocals, but love deep the dubs, great organ shuffle. The sax is a bit off sometimes... Yabby U must be a UK DJ, but Im not sure.

Well, just looking at the label, Jah Mel seems to be behind.

Leon Leiffer of the Black Stones was a member of a group called Mighty Soul Rebels. I have no clue if it's the same outfit but it would make sense with the UK connection.
I have a hard time thinking Jah Mel would have anything to do with it since he was primarily a US based singer.
A very interesting release. Seen it once but there was no listening and it was in pretty bad nick so I didn't bother picking it up.

To me, it doesnt sound like other 3 releases I know on the label with the Soul Rebels but it could be a matter of years, this one is the only one of the early dancehall period I know. You must be right for Jah Mel, but a Jah Mel is credited on flip.

There is Yabby Youth who does the deejay part of Bim Shermans Happiness (Jah Shaka)

Hi, thanx for all replies.
SteveT, you're right. I've just checked Bim Sherman's 12" Happiness. It's the same DJ voice : Yabby Youth.
So, one mystery solved. I'm still curious if anybody have some more info. on the artist (singer) Jah Pardy. Maybe later on I will add his song to YouTube (after I have find out how).
