Nice needle drops. Flicking through that box I'd be clueless, hardly recognised anything. An education as always John...I'm off to Devon for a few days between Christmas and New Year and hope to get a chance to visit RichMix. Have a great Christmas...cheers Dale
Cheers Dale. Have a great Christmas! Enjoy RichMix. I’ll be interested to hear what you think. It’s a nice little shop. I’ve always found something whenever I’ve been there 👍
That's the UK advantage right there! Not a chance of running across a box like that at one of my local shops. Never seen a single Pama LP over here but I do have the Boris Gardiner, just got that Lone Ranger reissue as well. There's a Prince Fari vocal to that Creation Rebel tune in the drop, that's the only LP I have by them, reissue again however. Been thinking about doing a deeper dive into the Pioneers, been listening to them a bit lately. Cracking finds, have a Merry Christmas and best of the season to you and the family John!
Hi Doug. It’s all down to luck over here. You need to be one of the first into a box like that because clean copies of reggae stuff will go quickly. I’ve been listening to The Pioneers quite a bit this year. I picked up their Long Shot album in the summer, which is also a nice record. I’m quite partial to that early 70’s pop reggae sound. Reminds me of being a kid. The Lone Ranger album is one of the best things I’ve heard all year. I only knew a few tracks before picking it up but every track is killer! Take care 👍
Great video as always. Quite a few for me to check out. I've not heard that Augustus Pablo LP - will put that right. That box of reggae looked inviting. Did you pick up that Johnny Clarke Enter the gates ...LP? Love that record. I have that Marley comp. Gorgeous stuff hidden by a terrible cover. I like some of those On-U Scratch records. Time Boom is my favourite - first track is awesome. I will get on that video horse the next time Swindon win! Wishing you a happy, peaceful Christmas.
Ha! C’mon Swindon! 😀 The Villa are doing alright at the minute. I’m not used to it. Although we dropped points against Sheffield Utd last night. I suspect the tide’s about to turn… I have the Johnny Clarke album. That’s a great record. And Time Boom is the OnU Scratch record I’ve been spinning. I think his 80s records are really underrated. Have a good Christmas! Take care.
@6inchpianist Swindon won the first half like they do most games and had me sweating for a bit. Normal service resumed in the second half and they lost, again. Wrexham next! Villa are brilliant at the moment. I dearly wanted them to go top last night but hard to play against Sheffield when they are scrapping. Would be great to see Villa back in Europe again. Will make a video this Christmas. Not been buying a lot but I have been listening to some great stuff. I just ordered that Augustus Pablo record from Dub Vendor. They have a 25% off sale until end of Boxing Day. Have a good Christmas - hope you are not awoken too early by your son!
good records all. I have had published on an audiophile site articles on ska, rock steady, Jamaican DJ's and Bunny Wailer. I will post the links for any of these you might be interested in seeing. Songs embedded in all the articles. Thanks mate.
The reason you associate Skinhead Moonstomp with the Specials,Selecter etc... is because the Two Tone bands covered a lot of the Trojan/Ska type tunes . Ref the Lee Perry album, it sounds like you said secret lavatory!!! 😮😮😮
