I have a mixtape Chuck Foster of KPFK/Reggae Central made for me in 1990. The two ending tracks are cut off and unfortunately did not get listed on the liner notes. I thought i'd bring it to the experts here on this forum...THANX.

1. Dreadlocks...I wanna hear you say...Dreadlocks
-From Tavern down to Waterhouse, right down to Riverton City...just Dread, Dread Iyah see...Oh yeah...strictly Natty, Natty Natty Dreadlocks.


2. Mercy go and judgment come X2...Early in the morning when the sun is shining yeah...there were many standing peeping over trying to capture INI bredrin'...them want to carry I name inna they mix up...

#2 would be "Rastaman Camp" by Freddie McGregor. Two versions were recorded (that I know of).

One is on the "Bobby Babylon" album (Studio One). I prefer this version, its got a more nyabinghi, mystical vibe. The second recording was produced by Niney, and can be found on the "Mr. McGregor" LP.

Thanks Papa Ahmz!!!

i'm not sure of the second one but the first line is the same as Niney the Observer's "Mutiny".

I see...thanks soulman. I was told elsewhere that the first track might be Junior Delgado?

the first one sounds cool, i'd like to find that

No, forget what I said. The lines "Mercy have gone and judgement have come" had me thinking of 'Mutiny' but someone's already answered that the second one is 'Rastaman Camp".
