Wooosh... back online at home. Starting back on a sad note, with this three hour plus tribute mix from the WCTD site, a very decent mix.
'I am devastated to have to relay the news that our very dear friend Howard ‘White Squall’ Copland (aka Shots) Robinson has passed….
As most of you will know he gave us some of the greatest quality soundtapes we have ever heard, most of which were exclusive straight from his line-in master tapes for example the MASSIVE Jack Ruby on tour in Berkley, California from 1982, which we have had so much great feedback about and has been downloaded well over a thousand times! It is so rare these days to get first generation copies of sessions but with Daddy Squall it was a matter of course to get these rarities!!'
Using Depositfiles...easy to download...regular download is free...just follow the instructions.

“Here is a real exclusive, courtesy of White Squall, of the mighty Jack Ruby Hi Fi live and direct in California. This is a really crisp recording of an event held at Keystone Berkeley that was maybe put on to showcase how the authentic Jamaican sound systems operate. The owner Jack Ruby is heard introducing his deejays to the audience and radio listeners, and one of the sounds regular deejays Lui Lepke is heard stepping out over some “Pre-release” Mighty Diamonds tracks. His report of the death of “Walter Rodney” is delivered over the Diamonds recut of “Declaration Of Rights” and when Fat Jaw spins some new Dennis Brown he tells how a recent “Dance A Keep Ina Ochi”. Bobby Culture has made the journey too and he gets down to business riding Freddie McGregor’s massive “Big Ship” changing it to “Big Sound Ina Foreign”. Like Lui, he’s got a lot of lyrics to flash and he educates the crowd about how to keep a dance in “Master Blaster”. Jack Ruby in fine style!”

'Tony Screw has made the journey from NY for the SNWMF and he has brought a crate of top tunes with him... Special after special is flung down and a top notch selection of true revival killers too.

As if that is not enough, we also get a superb live performance from the late great 'Booga' Minott to boot and you know any time Sugar is in the dance it's gonna be TROUBLE!!

Over 3 hours of this one and stunning sound quality'

Blimey Dave, back in fine style!

Thanks as ever.

Edit: By the way, off on a tangent as Lui Lepke has come up. Ranking Miss P is the sister of DJ Lepke from DBC. Anyone know what Miss P is up to these days? I remember when she stopped her BBC London show years ago due to ill health I think and I've never heard or seen of her since. I've tried numerous internet searches and never found any info on how she is. She was a real pioneer for broadcasting reggae in this country and getting it out on legal radio, eventually.

King Jammy’s – Grange Hill, Westmoreland, Jamaica, 24th/25th December 1985

Admiral Bailey, Pompido, Don Angelo, Woody Noble, Tonto Irie, Major Worries, Purpleman

Selector – Tupps
Mixer - Chris

DepositFiles

SingleTrack MP3
1h 6m 20s

“This recording of King Jammy’s spans Christmas Eve and Christmas Day in 1985 and what a year it’s been for them. The Sleng Teng came and swept away everything and the digital rhythms are now bossing the dancehalls. For this electricity sapping dance in Grange Hill about half the Jammy’s posse is present, with Admiral Bailey and Tonto Irie really running things here. Admiral Bailey is riding the wave of success and deejays enthusiastically “Don’t Like Prison” and berates all the “Hurry Up Deejays” on a Jammy’s recut of “Feel Like Jumping”. After the countdown for Xmas day, selector Tupps lets go some Cocoa Tea specials and Tonto Irie gets to voice his big seller “Must Girlie Girlie” for the Grange Hill massive. The singers are represented by Don Angelo, with his “Sharing The Night” and Woody Noble’s lovers style “Just The Two Of Us” and there are only brief appearances from Pompido, Major Worries and Purpleman found in this section of the dance, before White Squall’s cassette sadly comes to an end. This was a roadblock dance that everyone in the area remembered as one “hot session” from King Jammy’s.”

Killamanjaro – Billy’s Skateland, Grange Hill, Westmoreland, 1989

Admiral Tibet, Hopeton James, Daddy Shark, Ricky Trooper, Hammamouth, Bugle Boy,

Selector – Jeremy “Apache” Lee

DepositFiles

SingleTrack MP3
1h 19m 30s

“Here’s another of White Squall’s “line in” recordings at Billy’s Skateland in Grange Hill. With Charlie Chaplin and Ninjaman not having reached the venue yet, the crowd are getting a little edgy and when Daddy Shark introduces Admiral Tibet they are a bit suspicious and a bottle is thrown at one point. However it’s unmistakeably the Admiral and he sings his “Serious Time” hit followed by “Terrorist” and “Too Much Jealousy” to try to keep them happy. The ‘Jaro crew is headed up by Shark, Ricky Trooper and Hammamouth and selector Jeremy Lee draws nuff specials, many with Fuzzy Jones introductions, from the likes of Robert Lee, Conrad Crystal and Little John. Hammamouth has plenty of almshouse lyrics on show and there is even Ricky Trooper, in his pre selecting days, and he deejays pieces like “Lecture Me Gal” and the surprisingly cultural “Pray To Jah Jah”.

The neighbours are out and the first mix is now in to its second hour.
The whole of BN2 is rocking to the bass heart beat from my mammoth sub woofer.
As one of my friends said after one of my "neighbours gone out sessions", it's like being there.
Keep 'em coming Dave. Priceless.
Very many thanks.

'Another top class set from the SNWMF and once more this is a crystal clear recording.
We have over 3 hours of non-stop niceness from the UK's very own David 'Ram-Jam' Rodigan.
I wont spoil the surprise with a run down of tunes, let's just say that he absolutely
smashes up the Boonville area and we are treated to slice after slice of reggae history..

Gwaaaan Roddy!!!'
