Russ Vickers Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 I have recently bought the Beres Hammond LP Soul Reggae & wanted to recommend it, its bloody fantastic.........................even the couple of tracks that are Reggae on there are very good. Which all lead me to thinking whether there are any other Reggae Artists who have recorded straight up soul tracks, no Reggae rythms just proper soul..................Im not a big Reggae fan to be honest (sorry) but I have over the years heard some cracking soul records by predominantly reggae artists, any suggestions other than the obvious (Pioneers, Glen Miller, the other Beres Hammond 'favour' et al). Also, can anyone give me any history on the Soul Reggae LP by BH. Did it get reissued. My copy is on Tiger Lily, Im sure that I have read something before on SS about this LP being reissued or that it came out on two labels ??? but couldnt find it in a search, any help with this thankfully received.

Another Beres Hammond to look for is his Red Light LP.

Pete S Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 I had a fantastic version of Girl I've Got A Date by Alton Ellis. It was the soul version which has appeared on a couple of cd comps, but a totally different version of it. I've never heard or seen it again. I think it was on Soul Beat and I probably sold it to Stuart T. Did I? Apart from that - there are countless soul tracks by reggae artists. Here's one that maybe nobody will get..or then again..

Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Llans Thelwell & his Celestials featuring Busty Brown - Lonely night - Island WI-262 Despite his stupid (and, obviously, made-up) name, Busty Brown is one of the greatest singers in the history of reggae. He never made anywhere near enough records, unfortunatley, and most of his records ARE actually reggae, but soul fans who like both genres should check out his versions of Jerry Butler's "Aware Of Love" (Tramp) and the Fantastic Four's "I Love You Madly" (Splash - released in the UK on Explosion as "There Is Something About You" by 'Lloyd Charmers'). , if they get the chance, not to mention his recordings of his own songs "You Inspire Me" (Mo-Bay, released in the UK on Punch) and "Soon I'm Gonna Make It" (Justice) to name just four. He also did a killer straight soul cover of Clarence Carter's "I Can't See Myself Crying About You" (Upsetter, also released here on Upsetter( which is every bit as good as Doctor CC's and probably better.
