wich is the original tune dubbed in Cloak & Dagger?
and the name of the riddim? I have listened a Max Romeo's tune with this riddim, wich is its name? thanks

I actually also want to know so i tried to find out but unfortunately i couldnt but good luck

I think the tune is"Joe Frazier",as is the rhythm which was voiced by Burning Spear@Studio One.I also have a version by Big Youth called"Foreman Versus Frazier" on a Joe Gibbs Reggae Productions C.D. on Trojan(CDTRL 392).I hope this points you in the right direction.Happy hunting!!

you are absolutely right, 'Cloak & Dagger' is Scratch's version on the 'Joe Frazier'-rhythm. The sax playing on this one is by Tommy McCook. (source: David Katz's book 'People Funny Boy' an Lee Perry)

oh great, thanks. Tommy McCook is really great, and Burning Spear... one of my favourites singers

Yes it's the Burning Spear Joe Frazier riddim
also used for DUB ORGANIZER from Blackboard Jungle among many others

Hi,Back again.I knew I had another riddim version somewhere.It`s by Dennis Alcapone on"My Voice Is Insured For Half A Million Dollars"(Trojan CDTRL 272 Z) and it`s called "Joe Frazier Round 2"

Also sharp as a razor, "Joe Grazier" from The New Establishment. Find it on the B side of the Studio One white label 7" from Dennis Alcapone
