I wonder if anyone familiar with this DJ named Phantom.
I don't see his name here, though he did a few mad tunes like 'Pick Yu Cherry', 'Bubbler Inna Dance', etc. As far as I know, he recorded with King Tubby during mid-80s. Anyone knows what tunes he did?

uuuhhh i love Phantom.

There was also an engineer at king tubby's in the mid-80's called Phantom so i suspect them of being the same. I believe he has made 10 tunes max. Among them is "Nah Gee It Wey" with Monkey Lotion, "Kock Out Batty" and "Kill Mi Wid It" with Super Barry all for king tubby.

Also a track called 'Stylee' on Kingston 11 label. (1985)

Oh yes thats right! Forgot about that one...Kingston 11 was also a label "owned/run" by king tubby.

Righteous Jah Glu..."Stylee" track probably the best of that group in my opinion.

Thanks a lot for the info, gotta keep an eye on these tunes.

Yes you really need to, since they are really rare. "Kill Mi Wid It" (Very nice tune) is on the Punaunie LP on Waterhouse. Easy to find. Nah Gee it wey as rather hard to find but keep an eye out. Kock Out Batty is not that hard to find either. Stylee is also kinda easy to find.

best Phantom tune IMO is "Sorry Fe Dem" on Firehouse 7", it's on a King Tubby's lick of Harry J's 'computer' (sleng teng) riddim.
wicked tune.

his real name is Clive Coatson btw.

the "Firehouse Revolution" comp on Pressure Sounds says his name is NOEL GRAY...pretty sure i seen his name listed as this elsewhere also...
