War in a babylon/Three little birds

Post by Gabranth »

I must admit it... before reading it a couple of years ago in the Arkology-3CDSet-booklet, I never realized that Max Romeo's "War in a Babylon/Sipple out deh" and Bob Marley's "Three little birds" are basically the same riddim/bassline.

Years ago when I still had two turntables I would have tried to mix say Marley's acappella with the Upsetter version and/or the other way around. I googled for a mix like this but found nothing. Every page google suggests seems to be a lyrics page for the Marley tune or an illegal download.

Although "Three little birds" may be one of Bob's weakest/most boring tunes imho, mixing the two songs might still be fun. Anyone ever tried it or heard someone else's mix?

Three little bird is one of the multitrack tune you can find on the web so that you could get the vocal track easily and make that mix and share it with us! Here youd have to pay to get it but Im pretty sure you should find it for free.

Thanks Litelet, but I'm way too old school for mp3-mixing ;-) It just feels odd that no reggae selector seems to have mixed these two together.
