A Barry Brown Connundrum

[seanmd]

On the Vibes of Barry Brown album on side 2 the first track is listed as Follow Fashion People. However, the first track is actually Dont Mess With Dread, which is listed as the 2nd track. The next tract is Sad Girl which is listed correctly along with Dark Shadows, The next track should be Shadows Dub, however the actual track is a a bit of a mystery, it uses the same rythmn as Africa Is The Blackman's Home from Sugar Minott's Ghettology album. The final track is Shadow Dub.

Does anyone know the name of the mystery track. Follow Fashion People appears to be missing, but I dont think that this is the mystery track.

Anyone got any ideas?

Right,

"Shadows Dub" is actually listed here on RA as "Dark Dub" which is the dub track to "Dark Shadows"

The track which uses the "Free Jah Jah Children" riddim which is listed as "Follow Fashion" is actually called "Life is so Funny".

There is no track on this album that is called "Follow Fashion" that is a misprint.

btw imo "Dark Shadow" and it dub counterpart are two wonderful tracks.

Cheers for the info.

Just a quick update, I actually meant Africa is the Blackman's Home rythmn rather than Free Jah Jah Children

Just checked

The Barry Brown track is definately called "Life Is So Funny". It is the same Riddim as "Africa Is The Blackmans Home" (track 8 on Ghetto-ology).

I did know what track you referred too but assumed you had titled the Sugar Minott track correctly in your initial post

The track "Life is So Funny" is also on this album

[cover=740,864]

Strange thing with this album is that the dub "Life is So Funny Version" is the same track that is called "Shadow Dub" / "Dark Dub" on the "Vibes of Barry Brown" album.

So what vocal track does the dub actually sit with "Dark Shadow" or "Life is So Funny". To my ears it sounds pretty good with either.

Thanks for the info much appreciated. I've had the album since it came out, but never bothered to find out waht the track was.

I think that the dub sits better with Dark Shadow personally.
