Super Cat - Walk A Thon 7'' [1984 Midnight Rock Original Pressing]
Only the second single that Super Cat released after his Mr Walker 12'' for Winston Riley's Techniques label. This is on Jah Thomas's label, and isn't really a digital tune. Still a part of dancehall history, as Cat went on to be one of the scene's biggest and controversial artist. Note how he was referred to as the Indian aka the Wild Apache. He got the nickname because of his East Indian heritage. Many Indians were brought to the Carribean in the 1800's to work in the cane fields, and an estimated 36,000 came to Jamaica alone.
Culture Paul - Easter Sunday Morning 7'' [198x Jah Life Original Pressing]
Since I'm on the Jah Life topic...While back I posted the repress 12'' of this track, which has the Mini Van Man tune on the B side. But of course, original press is always better than repress :) Here you go. Also note that this 7'' is JLT023, and the Chuck Turner was JLT024, meaning these were cut around the same time.
Chuck Turner - Rock Me 7'' [198x Jah Life Original Pressing]
Certain artists stuck to riddims that suited their styles well... and then went on to play those riddims out by releasing tons of material over the same or similar sounding riddim. Perfect example is Carl Meeks and the koloko riddim. Not to down these artists in the least bit, just stating the truth. Not sure if it's because they were trying to stick to the same formula to re-create a hit, or because they didn't feel confident to try something different. Chuck Turner was another of these artists, and his riddim was Heavenless. Though don't forget that he released a lot of killer tunes on other riddims as well!
King Kong - Ninja 7'' [1986 Sunset Original Pressing]
Three part post of Sunset's Computer Teng/Rule riddim. Riddim was featured on the Computer LP series, with 3 volumes released. I think these tunes appear in the series at some point. Big tunes!
