tunes,
dem terrible, it reminds me of lee perry painting over black ark with words like "piss" & "shyt" and whole heap of other lightweight & heavyweight nonsense

now what I wanna know is, can I find those tunes as original mix somewhere?
tune like:

Rapper Roberts & Jim Brown - Pirates
Lone Ranger - Dance A Fe Cork

Sugar Minott - Pressure & Slide

and more

Lone Ranger - Dance A Fe Cork
sorry, wrong title, should be "keep coming a dance"

the version of coming a de dance is a disgrace

next one
Johnny Osbourne - Play Play

would sound much better with original mix of version

there's is a whole heap of 1980s 10 inches, which have digital synthesiser remixes. I saw 15 to 20 different records from that series in a second hand shop recently.

Coxsone did the same with some albums: including this
http://www.downbeat-special.co.uk/kingofsax.html

this 1988 heartbeat record got some synth remixes as well

and there is this rare, but very interesting studio one 7 inch on the sleng teng riddim:
pupa freddie (daddy freddie) - zoo party.

dance in a zoo seem to be a track from king tubbys/firehouse, coxsone made a deal to be up to time, nothing against that. and all aside its a crucial must have track.
but the digitalized stuff is different, it sound like some kind of factory machines working, cant enjoy such sounds thatswhy I was wondering if I could get same songs as original mix

so nobody actually own a clean copy of those listed tunes?

sugar minott - pressure & slide ?.. the tenors did original `pressure & slide` for studio one, sugars version is `oh mr dc`, not digital.

no digital in the lone ranger tune either, same overdub business as pirates, which was a typical overdub style at the time, you wont find it any other way... you can check for the original `heavenless`.

lone ranger /heavenless:
listening to the links you lined up, do you hear the difference? I am looking for coming a de dance on the original mix of the version like in the second link.
cutting dubs start make sense again
anyway
that play play version you've posted is by digital b
the version i have posted is studio one but with something weird mixed over the original version, it is not a new version, just "pimped" and even for those times it sounds awful I am not alone saying that.

now Bob Andy,
you must know that I own 2 copy of that song (feeling soul) one is original and the next sounds exactly like johnny osbourne mix, so I guess there must be a old mix to j.osbourne sameway. and rest of those tunes.
to me it sounds like coxsone tryed play modern at early 80s but i feel that the songs were recorded on clean mixes

songs that I think where VOICED on the "overdubbed" versions are:
jim nastic album
michigan & smiley album

the "overdubbing" seem to be a drummer playing over the track & sometimes they used a drum computer & turntable those are the most awful trax wen the tempo start changing and they fade out the 45 and you hear only the gloomy overdub while they try to fix up the speed, honestly, this stuff is just showing the real side of coxsone, him dont know nothing about making music him is not a musician at all just a good money man with a good choice for people cause anytime i read something about studio one it was not coxsone who made all that music it was the people, him did only have de key to that place and he didnt even pay people like c.campbell who was working everyday there to make exactly this music dat sell off. sureley coxsone did have a melody or two but i actually think it was the musicians & artists who originated the most songs not coxsone himself.
