Greetings Brothers & Sisters,
Me thankful for da opportunity to reach out to you by means a dis internet.
For many, many years me make music an have been blessed by having it heard
in so many different lands, by so many different peoples. Me give thanks to
all a dem who have given I the encouragement to continue to make music and
to all a dem who support this type of music around the world.
Me have a difficult issue to deal wid, and me want to make it known to all a
you people who support reggae music and Yabby You music. A man in England,
him doing business under the company name a "Graylan" and him pirating my
music. Him know me, he come from same parish in Jamaica from where my
mother come from. Him know me but him an I have NO business dealings at all.
As far back as 1991 me get me publisher to write him a letter telling im to
stop pirating I music. Me see im after that and im claim him stop an 'av
nothin to do wid it anymore. I hear from others that him still do it to
'dis very day and him just don't care. seen?
Me live in Jamaica and me not able to travel 'round keeping an eye on dis
type a 'ting in other parts a da world. So me give thanks being able to
speak out to the world from dis "Yabby You website" me bredren take care of
fe I.
Again, I wan my fans to know that the Yabby You music release by 'Graylan'
is the stuff of pirates and when you buy Yabby You music from 'Graylan' you
supporting contraband. Graylan and Yabby You have NO business dealings and I
ask you not to benefit him. All a my time and my life I put into my music,
it my only livelihood, and him just pirating it.
Very soon there come a time when all a I music from past years get release
on CD for real. from I. not from pirates. Dat time soon come an new Yabby
You music sure to be comin out strong also.
One love,
Vivian Jackson
