DYING to find FIRST EDITION of the DEE-JAY EXPLOSION LP/CD with Sister Nancy doing "A Chalice a fe' Burn" - It was taken OFF the 2nd edition and only her song "One-Two" remained. Does ANYONE know where I can get this tune? Happy to pay dearly for it. HER BEST WORK OF HER CARREER! Much appreciate. - Hawaii JR

I don't knew her at all since i listened to the compilation album Version City Rockers "Darker Roots" What a great Song "Jah Have The Handle". Can you tell me anything about her????

Actually she is a younger sister to Brigadeer Jerry.
She started deejaing on the Kingston dancehalls around 1978 and in 1980 recorded her first song 'Papa Dean' for Winston Riley's Techniques Productions. In 1983 Riley released an album called 'One Two'. Up till 1984 she recorded only very few 7" almost exclusively for Riley and Junjo Lawes. The song "Chalice" was on a 7" on the Jah Guidance label 1982 for Junjo. She left Jamaica and went to New York like many artists before.

Did she record any albums?

Like I said, there is one album on Techniques label from 1983, called 'One Two'.

we've had this in a few times. it's hard to find but not impossible. most copies i've heard are noisy and not the best pressing.

peace.

I also know her from the darker roots version city rockers album. "RASTA HAVE THE HANDLE" Great Song (Just like the album)

The song I think your looking for can also be found on a 7" called "telephone chalice" by sister nancy on volcano, its a reall nice cut to full up (pass the koutchie).

PEACE
