Pete S Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Another in the occasional series of Jamaican covers of well known Soul and R & B tunes. Lots on here I’ve not used before. I have to say though, while doing this, to my great surprise the track I enjoyed the most was one I bought as 13 year old schoolboy, and at the time it was on a par with Wet Dream as being the most notorious record to own — Prince Buster’s adaption of Rainy Night In Georgia, the legendary Big Five. Never quite understand why it was called Big Five though…anyway I hadn’t listened to it for years and it bought back a lot of memories, including that of my brother breaking my copy in half because I kicked him. Those were the days… ALTON ELLIS & DAVID ISAACS — LA LA MEANS I LOVE YOU BIG YOUTH — HIT THE ROAD JACK BYRON LEE & THE DRAGONAIRES — SOUL SERENADE DAVE McLAREN — LOVE IS WHAT I BRING DAWN PENN — LONG DAYS SHORT NIGHTS DERRICK MORGAN — IT’S ALRIGHT DUDLEY SIBLEY — MONKEY SPEAKS HIS MIND DENZIL DENNIS — NEVER FOUND A GIRL DAVE BARKER — FOLLOW YOUR HEART ALTON ELLIS — TOO LATE TO TURN BACK NOW BOBBY AITKEN — SWEETS FOR MY SWEET THE GAYLADS — MESSAGE TO MY GIRL THE HEPTONES — SWEPT FOR YOU BABY JOE WHITE — I’M SO PROUD JOHN HOLT — STEALING KEN BOOTHE — YOU LEFT THE WATER RUNNING THE UNIQUES — GYPSY WOMAN WINSTON GROOVEY — YOU SEND ME TYRONE TAYLOR — JUST OUT OF REACH THE TECHNIQUES — YOU DON’T CARE THE HEPTONES — ONLY SIXTEEN DERRICK MORGAN — SEVEN LETTERS ERNEST WILSON — FREEDOM TRAIN SOUL TOPS — GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO WAIT THE SHADES — GO FIND YOURSELF A FOOL RITA MARLEY — CHOOSY BEGGAR PRINCE BUSTER — BIG FIVE PHYLLIS DILLON — ONE LIFE TO LIVE TYRONE EVANS — IF THIS WORLD WERE MINE https://www.mixcloud.com/mayfairmenthol/more-soulful-reggae-rocksteady/ 1
