Pete S Posted November 6, 2004 Author Posted November 6, 2004 Can't remember if it's this side or the other side I Need You, but one is a belting uptempo Northern sound
Pete S Posted November 6, 2004 Author Posted November 6, 2004 Tremendous organ version of Pat kelly - Man of my word, actually by Boris Gardner
Pete S Posted November 6, 2004 Author Posted November 6, 2004 Took me 20 years to get this record, I'll tell you long long story soon

Pete S Posted November 6, 2004 Author Posted November 6, 2004 This is actually Pat Kelly with a great version
Billy Freemantle Posted November 6, 2004 Posted November 6, 2004 Any chance of a scan of 'Wreck a Buddy' - The Soul Sisters? No idea if that is rare. But that's a tune I remember well along with the Versatiles. On a different note but still connected... I wonder what it was that pushed the music of black America to the fore, among white youth in the 60s rather than the music of Jamaica. They were played side by side. Was it availability I wonder?
Pete S Posted November 6, 2004 Author Posted November 6, 2004 Rocksteady version of memphis Soul Stew, lee Perry on vocals
Pete S Posted November 6, 2004 Author Posted November 6, 2004 (edited) Only about 15 releases on this label, this is a DJ version of If I Had A Hammer by Nicky Thomas Edited November 6, 2004 by PeteStoneIsland
Pete S Posted November 6, 2004 Author Posted November 6, 2004 Possibly the greatest reggae track ever - played at The Wheel apparently - magnificent
Pete S Posted November 6, 2004 Author Posted November 6, 2004 First record to use the backing track famous for Wet Dream - Max Romeo
Soulie78 Posted November 6, 2004 Posted November 6, 2004 (edited) Tremendous organ version of Pat kelly - Man of my word, actually by Boris Gardner link Doesn't this label look fantastic! And also the Punch label, top! Edited November 6, 2004 by soulie78
Pete S Posted November 6, 2004 Author Posted November 6, 2004 Yeah Punch is great, if you look closely the first on the label is punching through a Melody Maker pop chart top 30 from 1969!
Billy Freemantle Posted November 6, 2004 Posted November 6, 2004 These great scans have inspired me to dig out 'Tighten up Volume 3'. There's a lovely instrumental on that called Leaving Rome by trumpeter Jo Jo Bennet. I was having a drink with a Sudanese engineer a couple of years ago and he was playing a piece of Classical Sudanes music that was so similar to this Jo Jo Bennet piece that - as we both agreed after I scooted off to bring him the Jo Jo Bennret to listen to - they were really the same tune. Interestingly, the Jo Jo Bennet - Leaving Rome was recorded before the Sudanese record. Barbwire is another nice record fronm that compilation.
Pete S Posted November 6, 2004 Author Posted November 6, 2004 Yeah thats a nice tune that Jo Jo Bennett, I have that twice on single, one on the original Trojan then a reissue on Cactus from about 73 which is probably harder to find. They used that on a car advert a few years ago. Barbwire is a tremendous record, got a few versions of this namely: the techniques - you don' care (original version) barbwire meshwire (organ instrumental version by winston wright) mosquito 1 - dj version by dennis alcapone the great woggie ( another dj version by dennis alcapone) buttercup (original backing track by tommy mccook) Having said that - nothing really compares to tighten up volume 2, thats the cream of the cream of skinhead reggae I reckon. Queen of the world is another good track on volume 3.
Billy Freemantle Posted November 6, 2004 Posted November 6, 2004 Just wacked Voume 2 (which on CD actually comes with Vol 1) in the drive and I'm playing Wreack a Buddy. I've asked this before .. but I'm not shy. Any chance of a scan of that? Yes the Lloyd abnd Claudette Quen of the Wprld is great. Played that to an opera singer once. She loved it.
Pete S Posted November 6, 2004 Author Posted November 6, 2004 I don't think I've got a scan of Wreck a Buddy - I certainly haven't got the record, sold a few copies last year, you can still pick it up for about £15, it's on Amalgamated. I might have it on a disc somewhere, I'll see if I can find anything
Guest Kolla Posted November 6, 2004 Posted November 6, 2004 Fantastic scans Pete despite rubbing salt in to the wounds of a poor kid that no longer has her JA reggae and ska collection :angry: Ne'er mind, I content myself with looking at the flyers instead.
Billy Freemantle Posted November 6, 2004 Posted November 6, 2004 (edited) This thread has made me root for stuff I haven't played in a long while. Playing the Gaylads at the moment. Great harmony trio. But probably the sweetest of Jamaican harmony groups that I have heard is the Meditations. I picked up an LP by the Meditations alonfg with great stuff by the Gladiators in the late 70s or early 80s. Edited November 6, 2004 by Billy Freemantle
