I have been looking for a tune for years, its a cover of mr big stuff, its not the John Holt version, it's more 80's dancehall, it sounds like Courtney Melody circa Bad Boy, it's wicked, i need it, please help

have you listened to Micheal Palmers version?

cheers, will look for it, is an 80's dancehall version?

says 1985 on my 12" its not very dancehall though, i guess it depends on how you define dancehall. Doesnt sound like courtney melody much :/

well the one i heard was very Stellie and Clevie/Maxy and Fluxie style, with a vocal that was v.Courtney Melody, will check the Micheal Palmers tho' and let u know
Cheers

It could be Mr Big Stuff by Conroy Smith on Blue Mountain? Its the B side to Robert French She's Under Stress on 12"

Conroy Smith, could be, sounds more like it, will try and find bit it sounds pretty rare
thanks

You're looking for the Mr Big Stuff Riddim produced by Anthony Codrington. If you find it let me know.

probably not the one but worth a mention, their was a 70's version sister big stuff by Danny Raymond.
