Random Early 1980s Roots-Dancehall Selection From the Vaults

Friday Night Rewind on hearticalfm.com August 2020
 Dipped into my 80s box for this session.
Essentially early 80s roots-dancehall vibes, many in a discomix style - vocal/dub/deejay - bit of a lovers flavour in parts.





Continuous mix 2hrs

Nuff respect & affection fi mi old friend, local Bradford sound system legend Papa Tiny. He passed away a few years ago now but wi haffi fly him flag still seen! His cut on the Shank-I-Sheck is stunning - Cooperation Between Black & White. Angela Baby made it to #2 in the UK reggae chart in 1982 (as he liked to remind us all hehehe) a bubble she a bubble she a bubble...
The big man is well remembered.

Two tracks each from the Maccabees Universal Showcase LP 1985 produced by Keith Wint, King Sounds' There is a Reward 1985 & Peter Broggs' Rastafari Liveth 1982. Also a pair of Dennis Browns on Taxi. Early tracks by Edi Fitzroy, Vivian Jones & The Uplifter. Greensleeves 1983 12'' If I Had Known/Welfare People by the great Ken Boothe.

Who Is Mr. Brown? Wailers Special 1968-72

 
In a mellow mood - time for some Peter, Bunny & Bob
THE WAILERS 1968-72
 The Wailers were incredibly prolific in the years between leaving Studio One and signing for Island. Included here are no fewer than 70 key compositions but this is far from the full story. While of course Bob leads the way Peter & Bunny both also take turns on lead vocals. Productions from Lee Perry, Leslie Kong, Bunny Lee, Allan 'Skill' Cole + the Wailers themselves. Also included are some of Bob & Peter's solo work from that time (JAD, Joe Gibbs, Upsetter). Considered by some to be Bob Marley's best, most creative period. With the exception of two rock steady tracks on Wail 'N Soul 'M 1968 - Hurtin' Inside & Burial - this is a strictly reggae affair so lively up yourselves...
