#18 http://pkl.net/~jajames/k6-roots-help/18.mp3 - Rough Neck (Ed Robinson)

i know it looks like quite a few there but some of those are real classics, this is the last tape except a few odd tracks that i need to find.

Thanks for all your help so far,links should work i think, i will check the tapes but i think one track is played twice..

Tape 4 #11 Bim Sherman "Fit to Survive"

#8 tape 4 "No Friends in this Time" Yabby U and Michael Prophet meet Scientist at King Tubby'

EDIT!

Tape 4 # 18 is Linton Kwesi Johnson

tape 5 - 2 # Sylford Walker "burn babylon", nice tapes

Those, I can add:

Tape 4:
#1 Yes Java riddim, but not the Jaro cut neither the Maro one. Might be the dub from the 7" or the original cut?
#2 Yabby U "Judgment On The Land"
#4 Tonight (Horace Andy) I think it's the cut from Horace Andy & Errol Scorcher "Unity Showcase"
#5 Dennis Brown I confirm, but can't tell you the actual tune name...
#10 Earth & Stone "In Time To Come"
#16 A version of Wailers' "Soul Rebel" original cut prod by Perry, yes it is.
#18 LKJ "Bass Culture"

Tape 5:
#1 A part of the Hugh Blackwood & Tado "Reggae Music" a long long 12" prod by Perry using the Vibrate On riddim (Pablo).
#8 I know the riddim and the tune but I can't tell you. Very upsetting...
#9: same as above
#10 R Green & Tado "Rasta Train" flip of the 12" played as #1 on this tape. Funny, cause I wanted to add that this side is IMO better than the Blackwood tune on Vibrate On riddim.
#12 Prince Alla "Heaven Is My Roof"

#14 & #15 both link play #1... 14 can be played if we fix the URL but not 15...

Hope it serves
