  1. Not forgetting Dennis Alcapone - El Paso - JA Supreme
  2. Pete, Now I'm confused. How can you hate roots & love dub? They're hand in glove surely? Most of us soulboys into Jamaican tunes are generally into the ska/rocksteady period and thats certainly me. But theres a shedload of killer roots out there which I don't think you can dismiss like that. That being said I've never had the faintest desire to grow locks. I never read much about Marcus Garvey or Dr Rodney. The Black Star Liner is not waiting in the harbour & never will be. Relocation to Addis Ababa is not a hot topic in our house. But I can't seperate roots from dub
  3. Johnny cut this for Lloyd Daley in 1968. I love it as much as anything I have, soul or jamaican, but then as ever its each to his/her own. Its them horns just reaching higher & higher that do it for me. The reason I have Magic Night is that Paul Temple very kindly gave me his after I played him Big Big Boss. He's a top boy for that alone... Nij
  4. With you all the way on that, its as if it took a nosedive until roots took a hold proper. I've played thru 100's of dull as dishwater '69-'71 tunes whilst losing the will to live. Theres always a few exceptions to the rule of course thank God.
  5. Sure you're right, Jamaica versioned lotsa soul stuff of course. I was just echoing some mates comments & being a little contentious at the same time. Always good to stir the pot... The one that went the other way for sure IMO was Johnny Moore's "Big Big Boss" (1968) to Magic Night "if you & I etc" (1973). I posted the Johnny Moore a while back. Of course it was mainly one way traffic tho' USA-JA Nij
