...what riddim is that!!!? I know I have it or heard it, and lots. The first time I heard the song track (after the cool intro)and the song kicks in I knew the riddim perfectly. Of course it could be from anywhere seeing as how Jammy produced it. Help!!! I can't sleep at night!

Artist: Hugh Mundell w.\ Lacksley Castell
Album : Jah Fire (1980)
Song : Million Miles


By the way, great singing on strong riddims.

Toyan - Irie Feelings ?

Great song by the one Pupa Toyan. Released on a Witty 12" (mine has got a yellow label)

yeah nice one kalcidis for letting me hear it! (I also got a yellow labeled one eventually! - extended with a nice version too)

That's it man. It's Scientist for sure but I can't pin down the track. Also Pupa Toyan? Nice. I say Scientist because I got no Toyan, but that's gonna change. Many thanx! Let me know the track off Scientist. I listened so much too 'Heavyweight Dub Champion' that I'm sure it's off that....but I can't find it.

Also on the riddim:

Pat Kelly's "Give God Praise" on the Fatman produced Sunshine LP.

The Toyan 12" is nice since it's paired with the dub, ane Radics Connection is great.

There was a miscredited 10" of Million Miles that came out about 5 years ago... I think it also had the dub, but it seems the audio quality must've been poor enough that i didn't check it more than a few times.
