The Jamaican people's own music had arrived and here are some of the most important records from that initial ska era.

I was going to say I'd be interested in buying those but after seeing some of the prices being asked, I think I'll leave it - I sold a full set to Johnny Fingers a couple of years back for, how much John, £300? Like all labels, there's tons of common ones and a handful of rare ones. Things like ray Godfrey, £2, Al Williams £40.

Lord knows mate, but you did the right thing with the crossover for sure!

Cheers mate, though that link still doesn't work at this end LOL (unable to display the webpage) Unfortunately, someone bid on the records so I can't go in and change it now! But thanks for your help, as always.

That link don't work mate but thanks anyway!

I did this listing on Ebay and despite me typing it in html (apparently) the formatting has come out plain, can ayone explain to me how I get it into html so it reads as a list? https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120606350385&ssPageName=ADME:L:LCA:GB:1123 (apologies if wrong section, not sure where to put it)

The CBS one is Dennis D'Ell but you just haven't got any concrete proof about the Pama one, everybody knows there are copies of Oh How Happy and GSTQ on A & M, but nobody's seen or got a Volumes.

It as just done on the fly Dave but if it were to be done properly I'm sure it would be really interesting, that was just me messing about with a hand held video camera. What makes me laugh, back in 1992 when I sold all my UK's, I videos a lot of them on the deck, people absolutely pissed themselves laughing, filming records, you must be mad..now if you go on youtube - it's the standard!

When you see a topic such as this only has 18 views it makes me wonder why I bother trying to provide a bit of free entertainment every few days. 124 downloads but obviously 106 are NOT from Soul Source. Does the post not get seen? Are the podcasts just not to peoples tastes?

No mate every single record from that box was sold in the last 2 years

Bloody hell...well done Phil. Still can't believe anyone wants this though, thats from years of buying ska and reggae and literally listing it for £5 or less.

You don't even need to go to a big fair, it's a common record, like pink label Jackie Edwards. Saying that a record like that is worth more than the VIP's "Straight down to the bottom" - utter madness.

Are you nuts, it should be 5 to 10 quid, this is as common as Do The Teasy and just because a certain website lists it for a joke price, it doesn't mean a thing - trust me, I collect this stuff and other pink Island things like Waterfall - Jimmy Cliff are ten times rarer. This is a record so crap I used to find it hard to give away.

There's a couple of Crazy baby threads, should be able to find out via those, I personally think it's a boot.

I don't get what you mean? Iron Bar by Billy Cooke came out as a single on S E P. Early 60's.

Not really, the recording is from 61-62, the King Stitt intro is from the Dancehall 62 LP like you say but not the actual track.

Ridiculous price. Shouldn't be any more than £100. £70 sure is a good price if in nice condition. £50 is a brilliant price.

This is the first part of what will hopefully be an interesting and exciting look at the history of Jamaican music from it's inception in 1958* when the Jamaican people began to make their own music available on vinyl, up until maybe 1970 by which time the music has gone through many different phases and the halcyon days are replaced by mundane roots music and string-laden pop reggae. Up until 1958, with the exception of some one off dub plates recorded specifically for sound systems, the music played in Jamaica was almost exclusively American - from Jazz to Rhythm & Blues. Jamaican musicians, as we will see, put their own spin on the New Orleans R & B sound, and Jamaica's first indigenous music made specifically by and for Jamaican people was born. But there are many, many websites where you can read about the music and the people that made it, my job is to simply bring you the music, so here is where it all begins. +++++ *During these podcasts, please don't take the dates as gospel, as many records popular in Jamaica weren't issued in the UK until a year or 18 months later, so dates on record labels can sometimes be misleading. +++++ THE STORY OF JAMAICAN MUSIC 1958 -1962 - SWEET BALLADS, RHYTHM & BLUES, AND THE BIRTH OF SKA +++++ Here we document the first domestic Jamaican productions, most of which are in either the R & B or ballad style. This is a long podcast and there's a chance you may become bored if you're hankering after the faster ska sounds, but a lot of this material stands up on it's own merits and is pretty enjoyable. By the time you reach the last four tracks of this show, you will be able to recognise the very beginnings of the Ska sound and notice the subtle re-arrangement of the New Orleans sound, invented by the musicians accentuating the offbeat - you'll see what I mean. ***** https://podcastmachin.../episodes/27519 ALTON & EDDY - MY HEAVEN / LAUREL AITKEN - BARTENDER / THE BLUES BUSTERS - DONNA / LASCELLES PERKINS - LONELY MOMENTS / DERRICK & PATSY - LOVE NOT TO BRAG / OWEN GRAY & THE JETS - ROCKING IN MY FEET / THE JIVING JUNIORS - DEAREST DARLING / RICO & DUKE REID'S ORCHESTRA - DUKE'S COOKIES / LAUREL AITKEN - LOW DOWN DIRTY GIRL / CLANCY ECCLES - RIVER JORDAN / CHUCK & DOBBY - TILL THE END OF TIME / LAUREL AITKEN - JUDGEMENT DAY / THE FOLKES BROTHERS with COUNT OSSIE - OH CAROLINA / DUKE REID & HIS GROUP - PINK LANE SHUFFLE / DERRICK MORGAN - FAT MAN / HIGGS & WILSON - MANNY OH / OWEN GRAY - JENNY LEE / KEITH & ENID - WORRIED OVER YOU / OWEN GRAY - MASH IT (PARTS 1 & 2) / JACKIE EDWARDS - TELL ME DARLING / DON DRUMMOND & HIS GROUP - DON COSMIC / CLUE J & HIS BLUES BLASTERS - SALT LANE SHUFFLE / THE MELLOW LARKS - TIME TO PRAY (ALLELUJAH) / OWEN GRAY - ON THE BEACH / ROY & PATSY - MY HAPPY HOME / BILLY COOKE - IRON BAR (with King Stitt intro) / THE BLUES BUSTERS - LITTLE VILMA / HIGGS & WILSON - SHA BA DAH / RICO RODRIGUEZ & HIS BLUES BAND - BLUES FROM THE HILLS / THEOPHILUS BECKFORD - EASY SNAPPING / ERIC MONTY MORRIS - HUMPTY DUMPTY / PRINCE BUSTER - OPEN UP BARTENDER / RAYMOND HARPER - AFRICAN BLOOD. ******* Next Episode - 1963-1964 THE SKA TAKES OVER (I estimate that this series will run to 10 episodes: 1958-62 R & B, BALLADS 1963-64 SKA TAKES OVER 1964-66 RED HOT SKA (this will be in 2 parts) 1966-67 SOUL OF JAMAICA - ROCKSTEADY (another 2 parter) 1968 EARLY REGGAE BOSS SOUNDS 1969 MORE BOSS SOUNDS 1969-70 REGGAE HITS THE CHARTS 1970-71 DJ'S TAKE OVER I was only going to post one per week, so if you want the lot in advance on cd you'll have to bribe me LOL.
