Kojak/Nigger Kojak

Post by Julian »

I have been searching for a track produced in the late '70s by Nigger Kojak called Green Bay Killing. I used to own this as a single when I was a teenager. I have found it listed as part of a compilation on roots archives, but the single is not listed. My question is simply this: do you have any idea where I could go to look for a copy of this single or failing that the compilation (which is by Joe Gibbs). I am in London.

The slbum is called Original DJ Classics vol. 1

"Greenbay Killing" is a BOOM Tune on the STORM riddim. Kojak also does "Down By The Riverside" on the same riddim. Not as strong as "Greenbay" but a good tune nonetheless-also has a version after it. This is on the SHOWCASE lp:

Other Tunes on Same cut of "STORM"
-"Storm"- Gregory Isaacs
-"OH LORD"- Tappa Zukie-his best ever IMO.
-"Tie & Dye"-U.Brown
-Leggo Dub- on LP of same title
-"Trial & Tribualtion"-The Morwells

Great Riddim, Great tunes. I see the Original DJ & Showcase lp's about, so you should be able to get them. Good Luck.

I have 7" and 12" cuts from 1979 titled 'Massacre' on the Storm rhythm by Nigger Kojak. They were released in the UK on Laser.The lyrics start out "Green Bay killing a murder". Is this the same tune?
