Denbo Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 Seems like a slightly different cut to the UK release.
Pete S Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 Seems like a slightly different cut to the UK release. Yes - well no - but I'm familiar with the label, it's based in the USA and represses all kinds of Jamaican things. Wonder why the shortened the title (from Pussy Price)
Denbo Posted January 18, 2009 Author Posted January 18, 2009 Yes - well no - but I'm familiar with the label, it's based in the USA and represses all kinds of Jamaican things. Wonder why the shortened the title (from Pussy Price) Wondered that myself? Didn't know that about the label, so thanks for that.
Guest Dante Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 Yes - well no - but I'm familiar with the label, it's based in the USA and represses all kinds of Jamaican things. Wonder why the shortened the title (from Pussy Price) Is it a current pressing? Does it have anything to do with the Randy's label? Saying this because of the Chin-Randy thing on the bottom. Thought it was an early 70s one. I remember having In The Spirit by Lloyd Charmers, an U Roy and a couple of Pat Kelly's on it.
Sunnysoul Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 I think it's time for Pete Smith to have his very own personal thread a la Ian Levine ...
Pete S Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 I think it's time for Pete Smith to have his very own personal thread a la Ian Levine ... Yes we'll call it "Ask Pete"
Sunnysoul Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 Yes we'll call it "Ask Pete" or ... Pete Smith ... This ... Is Your Life !
Denbo Posted January 19, 2009 Author Posted January 19, 2009 Yes we'll call it "Ask Pete" Pete, in my eyes, you're THE authority, on here, for Jamaican, hence the question directed straight to you. Nowt wrong with that, is there? Stimulates a bit of discussion if nothing else, eh?
Ian Dewhirst Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 Yes we'll call it "Ask Pete" Briliant. Do you also deal with problems of a sexual nature.......? Ian D
Benji Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 Is it a current pressing? Does it have anything to do with the Randy's label? Saying this because of the Chin-Randy thing on the bottom. Thought it was an early 70s one. I remember having In The Spirit by Lloyd Charmers, an U Roy and a couple of Pat Kelly's on it. Used to have a copy of this until recently, it's from the 70s. Excellent pressing and soundquality, might be even taken from the master tape. I might be mixing it up with something else but i think it has a skinhead reggae track on flip, Val Bennett? Don't know if it's a different take to any other versions as it's the only one I know. Never had it on another label and don't recall having it on LP or CD either.
Sunnysoul Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 Briliant. Do you also deal with problems of a sexual nature.......? Ian D Careful , he'll start charging for his time .
Ady Pountain Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 The flip of 'Pussy Price' on UK Nu Beat is 'Give Me Back Me Dallar' which is also a great track. I also have a JA white label and there is some difference in the mixing but it's basically the same track, Ady
Guest Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 Briliant. Do you also deal with problems of a sexual nature.......? Ian D Typical , typical ........... Malc Burton
Pete S Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 The Jamaican blank should indeed have a Val Bennet cut on the B side - High Tide which if I remember rightly is a great instrumental. This is a Bunny Lee production but I don't know if he produced Pussy Price. The matrix should be DYNA-BL 815 but I've also seen it listed as R-3009). But it gets a bit confusing because another version, produced by Roy Shirley, was released in Jamaica in 1969 (dyna RS 840). This has Give Me Back Me Dallar on the B side.
Benji Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 I might be mixing it up with something else but i think it has a skinhead reggae track on flip, Val Bennett? the flipside of the Chappy 45 is Rupie Edwards Allstars with Val Bennett - High tide
Pete S Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 the flipside of the Chappy 45 is Rupie Edwards Allstars with Val Bennett - High tide Incredibly that came out 3 times on UK labels, on Success, Doctor Bird and Punch, each one had a different flip side.
Denbo Posted January 19, 2009 Author Posted January 19, 2009 the flipside of the Chappy 45 is Rupie Edwards Allstars with Val Bennett - High tide My Chappy copy just says "Instrumental" on the flip side of "Price", nothing else. I'm away from home at the moment so can't investigate further. Different record to the flip on Nu Beat that much I do know.
Guest Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 Seems like a slightly different cut to the UK release. Should this post not be in the Jamaican part of this site!

Benji Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 My Chappy copy just says "Instrumental" on the flip side of "Price", nothing else. So it did on my copy. As I'm not that familiar with Reggae, especially instrumentals, it took me some time to identify it. But it really is Val Bennett - High tide.
Denbo Posted January 20, 2009 Author Posted January 20, 2009 So it did on my copy. As I'm not that familiar with Reggae, especially instrumentals, it took me some time to identify it. But it really is Val Bennett - High tide. Okay, nice one, I'll add that information on the cardboard sleeve. Thanks.
