Great tune, Italman!!

The song which I think you are referring to is by Horace Andy -- "Big and Heavy". It's all over the place... on an lp entitled "Fresh" ('Carron' label mid'80s) + it's on numerous 12" singles... (forget the labels).

Hope this is the tune you're looking for... Wicked tune!

Niceness!

tanks mi bredda!!

You have saved me nuff anguish! I've been lookin for that tune since I lost my cassette tape back in the 80's.....

Perhaps you can help me with this one! Back in the 70's a tune goes like this
" my father born ya, my grandfather born ya" and so on !!! I use to know it but age has gotten to me I guess..

Nuff respect!!!

12" is Carron. Must have about 10 of them around here. You see this in Tornot a lot...almost as much as that Neville Martin!
