One last classic from 1976. I believe that's Jerry Maytal of Toots fame. Enjoy x

Not heard that before. Has a touch of Ini Kamoze feel to it.

Loved this from the same period too...
Yeah I remember seeing him sing that at one of the Stanmer Festivals in the 1990s. I think it was the same year that Gregory turned up with Frederica Tibbs and voiced this. Just stunning on a sunny afternoon.
I never thought I would be that grateful to Ish Ali for anything

One last Eccleton Jarrett (honest) from the excellent version album Superstar Hit Parade (1986)

Junior Murvin and Pad Anthony versions both also very good

And the Admiral Tibet...

Yeah it does. Robert Lee is one of those artists that went under the radar a little. A bit like Scion Sashay Success. This has to be one of my all-time favourite digital tracks. Serious business

You putting up an Admiral Tibet reminds me, we shouldn't leave out a massive tune from Admiral Bailey...
And of course, the biggest tune on this riddim that gave it its name...

Anybody else read Bass Culture by Lloyd Bradley?.
Fascinating writing about the very early days of Sound Systems....
ever wondered what got played back then?.
this rarity comes from 1952 iirc, and works well in a Ska /Boss set, later versioned by Delroy Wilson as ' Drink Wine Everybody ' ,

My intro was, via 2-Tone, theTighten up albums, which are a great intro, then picking up the Ska-Scandal sound track, I love the earlier stuff, particularly, for some reason, early 60's some with double bass.
