Ites,
Papa D

Thanks a lot Papa D. good sound quality, wicked.

yes man, thanks for this!

wicked sound

Thx a lot!

Thanks again, it makes my day much less boring!

I have a request: What is the exact name of this brillant Johnny Osbourne track (at 48th mins)? ... ranking?

The track is called "Folly Ranking". It is widely available on compilations such as King Jammy In Roots (Auraluxx) and The Birth of Dancehall (Greensleeves).

Thanks again Papa D for all the great recordings!

Thanks mick, very good tune!

What about the one after? if you're not too busy,

Cheers,

The one after "folly ranking" is "firehouse rock" by the wailing souls available on the classic album by the same name. Also, "folly ranking" is available on some johnny osbourne lps. Search the archives for the song name and you will see. "firehouse rock" is also available on the Birth of Dancehall Greensleeves compilation (actually titled "The Biggest Dancehall Anthems 1979-82"). This compilation is crucial. The early dancehall reggae from these years is some of the best reggae ever produced.

so true man!

Thx for your advices. Hope I'd catch this compilation.
