Rappa Orett - Sting Me A Sting 7'' [198x Mr. Tipsy Original Pressing]

Last post of the night, with a cutty ass digi Danger In Your Eyes riddim by even less known artist. 

 

May be a second before I post again. I'm getting married this weekend, and then off to Costa Rica for a week long Honey Moon. May not be in a mood to mess with babylon computers any time soon after sitting in paradise for a while. Haha... Give thanks and praise!

 

 

Sting Mi A Shock!

Pliers - Murder She Wrote 7'' [1987 Sunset Original Pressing]

Early Pliers tune, when he was going by his real name, Everton Bonner. This is the original Murder She Wrote, which was later redone with Chaka and became a giant international hit. This version is just as dope if you ask me. Nice little piece of dancehall history though. Below is also the video for the remake over Bam Bam riddim. Bless!

Yup Yup

Sammy Levi - Come Off The Road 7'' [198x Eclipse Original Pressing]

Automatic soundboy killah! Excellent tune by New York singer Sammy Levi... everything about this track, from the riddim to the vocals are so on point. The 12'' of this is highly sought after, and the 7'' was repressed by Gold Shop a few years back.

Out Of The Way Tin Pan Sound!

Little Twitch - My Lord / Don Hicky and Steady Ranks - Soundboy Moan And Yawn / Anthony Malvo - Guard Yu Head Back / Anthony Redrose - No Heathen 12'' [199x Star Trail Original Pressing]

This release is more like a EP than a standard 12'' single and is packed with 4 heavy hitting versions of the same tuff Tempo riddim being rode by some big dancehall names. The stand out is definitely Don Hicky's track, which is a remake of his huuuuge 1987 hit called Dancehall Rock (Harmodio label). Props to Star Trail for the interesting take of the Tempo riddim.

Saba Tooth - Hold The Faith 7'' [199x Duke Original Pressing]

Early 90's revival tune. Biim biiim!!

Jah Bless

Peter Metro and Ashman - Road Block 7'' [198x Youth Promotion Original Pressing]

Fantastic tune with real life social commentary and wicked organ intro. The duo rap about the rioting that happened in Kingston on the 15th of January, 1985 when Prime Minister Seaga declared the new price of gasoline in Jamaica, which due to inflation, flew off the handles. There was instant chaos in the country, and out of frustration the people set up road blocks and went on strike.

Errol Minimum - One Love Me Brother 7'' [1987 Crystal D Original Pressing]

Don't know much about this tune or the artist. It's on Derrick Harriott's label, who did release some digital stuff, though he was better known for his rocksteady years. This one's a little corny, but still catchy.
