Hi,

Bought a 10'' dubplate. Question, http://www.reggae-wise.eu/question.mp3 who is this artist, studio and year. Hope you can help me. The sticker list the titles: Heard you are going away and other side: How do you quit. Sounds like begin 80'end of 70'Channel One.

Thanks in advance.

Could it be Frankie Jones ?

reggaepostman Well It could be. I donnot know Frankie Jones very well. But will compare his songs to these Thank you

Anyone else? Pls help me the voice sounds familiar.

And by posting this msg I hoped I donnot have to search many sounds clips, have sleeples nights, listen to numerous podcast and so on.

You dont need to look for in the 70s it is a 80s tune, absolutely sure... Would say 1983-1984

But no idea of the title, sorry!

Sounds very much like Frankie Jones, 82-83'ish Channel One.

same rhythm as Sammy Dread - Road Block, which was on Hitbound 1982

Thanks All!
Oke I will check the Frankie Jones thing and concentrate on 1982-1984 Channel One. Bless

The first track sounds like Frankie Jones but the second track sounds a little like U U Madoo and I believe I have the album with the track but its boxed away and I won't be able to put my hands on it anytime soon.

Any chance you bought that dubplate (actually a pre-release on a dubplate blank) from England? I lost several of those in England when I was there from 89-91. All were Channel 1 pre-releases, each side usually had the vocal on track 1 followed by the version on track 2. Had all the top artists Dennis Brown, Sugar Minott, Mighty Diamonds, Frankie Jones, Anthony Johnson, etc.

If the track label is still on it, were the tracks and artist name typewriter written?

Just curious. Finders keepers losers weepers!!

Thanks Dougie for describing the second artist. All you are saying about the dubplate is true. Accept the tracklabels are handwritten and only stating the name of the songs/dubs. see pic. http://www.reggae-wise.eu/question%202.jpg
