Some titles I know of but never seen.
Mr. Spaulding - Rocky Road

Mr Spaulding - share you love ( roots rockers 12", no title on label listed ) Same riddim as Junior Marshall - Massive Man Skank.

Different unrelated (rubbish) tune on A side.


Mr Spaulding - mr Sparling. Roots Rockers 12" Same release as the Rusty int 12"

Mr. Spaulding - push the fire
from 'Reggae Star Jam Vol.1' compilation on Reggae City label (RCLP1) from 1986. Not on RA.
Big tune.

Taking advantage of the topic, there was this Mr.Spaulding 12'' in auction a while back and the tune includes another singer on the same rythm, pretty sure its not Spaulding.
Could someone tell me who the other singer is?

here's the link to the page (audio player is on the page)

Ed; do you have that 12" with the unlabeled tune? He has a version of that rhythm on his LP. But the title there is »Tell Me«.

Also when you say that »Mr. Sparling« is the same as on the Rusty Intl. do you mean there's two Rusty Intl. discos with him? I just know of the one with Twelve Tribes-song on and the Don Carlos flip.

hmm sorry I mixed some things up. I noticed I was referring to the other side of that reggae-auction sample posted above ( you can hear it in the last minute of the sample.. )

Have it here on a cd-r. I think I still have the label scan also somewere from both sides...

Also listed on Roots-Natty Roots (as Spaulind - share your love ) And I have seen it for sale 2 or 3 times this year.

Mr. Spaulding appears on this LP as well:

Josey Wales in Concert Fish Wirl Club Negril Jamaica 1983
Kris Disc DSR 7024 A

Track 5 Side 1
Clarks And Arrows - Mr. Spalding & Josey Wales

Great live Stur Gav LP. Also featuring Sugar Minott and Don Carlos

sorry.. I ment last year

Ed; Please contact me. my user name *at hotmail dot com*.

Anyone that has any information on who M. Duncan is that seemingly produced all material on Roots Rockers (probably his label too)? It can't be Spaulind as his real name is Renford Fergison (sic - probably misspelling of Ferguson).
