Late Night Blues Rub-A-Dub
SiamRootsical 7'' & 12'' Vinyl Selections. Another bonafide selection of rips from my collection and some captured back when we used to trade in reggae records. This one brings together some original rub-a-dub from the late 70s & early 80s. Who remember the days of the basement blues? A cellarfull of bass bins, selector, operator and mcs bunched up in the corner, special brew at a pound, the crowd moving while smoke fill the place like incense in a Shiva temple! There was an exhilarating; revolutionary vibe going down in the UK back then - fi real! David Jahson's Raving is a good reflection of the vybz of the time. Some rarities here like the undated, uncredited Ganja War on the Spiderman label (Musicism Alll-Stars?) which has a Black Ark feel to it. TT Scott's Children Of Zion on Cloud and Lion Youth's Chant Inna Dance on Virgo. The Memory Of Justice Band (Cayman Islands) hit Me And My Crew takes a look at forced slum redevelopment. Two good sides from deejay Mikey Jarrett including the brilliant Reggae Music alongside Tony Jackson. This World Love and Hate captures Leroy Smart at his very best
Mainly JA & UK productions alongside the sound of Wackies & Clive Hunt outta the US. Features a BIG excursion on the Don Carlos classic Late Night Blues with crucial versions by Cornell Campbell, Ranking Dread and Junior Reid. Both cuts of Icho Candy's signature tune Captain Selassie are here - the Joe Gibbs original on the Shank-I-Shek & the tuffer, essential lick on the Heavenless (Jwyanza). The 7th Extension Band also get on the Shank-I-Shek for the roots-dancehall killer Hard Times. The Revolutionaries come with an interesting track from the Came, Saw, Conquered LP blending 2 riddim - the Heavenless & Sitting And Watching together. Sugar Minott all-time classic Rough Ole Life rides the M16. Lloyd Jones' relick of his Studio 1 hit Rome from Clive Hunt's Ruff & Tuff Showcase LP is a real 80s gem. The B-side of the Gregory Isaacs Night nurse 10'' is a very dubby remix of Material Man. Meanwhile Yellowman calls for Mr. Isaacs' release from GP (coke charges) on the Storm.... Gregory heng on...
Continuous mix 94 minutes
sitting & watching for the next one & man you never disappoint

I think you may know the kind I'd like pure roots music I know that the reggae scene has gone thru changes ...ska-roots-ragga-dancehall-slackness to name a few but for me real reggae is of 2 kinds roots & lovers rock just my personal preference so any one else out there reading this will have there own thoughts but these are just mine so my friend if you have anything along these lines I would be eternally grateful
jah bless
i love all them tunes, got them all! grew up on the roots too but have enjoyed most dancehall trends through the years. i think dancehall style & lovers are most representative of jamaican music culture as it all harks back to the foundation, treasure isle, etc. roots reggae, like old ska, took musical expression to a new high though. i like keeping up to date cos its a real buzz when exciting new conscious artists emerge, keeping the vibes alive.
Deletei'll repost some roots mix 4u soon.
1988 year2year's upped now and its a real goodun... gussie clarke selections! 1986-88 are one cd only as greensleeves had a reduced output at that time. watch out for 1989... BIG UP STARR
I hear what you are saying I too love to hear new artists coming up it's what keeps the music alive...now if you get chance can you re up these
