Imagine a fast reggae version of Exodus with someone talking all over the top of it...typical UK production, sorry Andreas, I think it's as bad as those Torpedo things I sold for £200 yesterday!

It definitely works, but they don't like you putting mp3's up on the site, they prefer you to use the refosoul feature

Honestly IMHO this is one of the worst, overrated and most overpriced records in Reggae history

Not my cup of tea at all...

Thank you, I'm not on my own then.

I wouldn't pay 10p for it.

Well I would, if I had someone to sell it to.

Claudio, I know that all is a question of taste, but to your meaning about this record (aside from your comment "overpriced"...I don´t think you have any idea how many of that pre-releases only record were made) ...I really would love to see your fav´s list to reggae and soul .....liquidator...the snake, is it something like that?

Hey you can't slag of Liquidator, it was The Wolves theme tune for over 30 years!

I know it's pretty scarce which doesn't make it good... There's one known copy of 'The Tickler' which isn't good either.

Reggae:

Junior Soul - Glendevon Special

Trevor & The Maytones - Every Day Is Like A Holiday

Derrick Harriott - It's Alright

Dennis Walks - Belly Lick

Roman Stewart - While I Was Walking

Ska/Rocksteady:

Alton Ellis - Mouth A Massy

Alva Lewis - Hang my head

Ferdie Nelson - Lonely & Blue Boy

Don Drummond - China Town

Hopeton Lewis - Cool Cool Collie

Junior Soul - Miss Cushie

My taste probably changes within a week, but that's what I like right now.

it's much harder to make a good list on ska/rocksteady because there are soooooo many great tunes... Reggae is easier because I don't like most of that organ overkill "skinhead" tunes. I'm mainly into '68, Derrick Harriott, George Murphy, Duke Reid and of course Coxsone productions.

Soul:

Eddie Kendricks - Date With The Rain

NA Allen - Thanks For Nothing

Wild Sound Unlimited - I Know You

Claude Huey - Drifting

Montclairs - Unwanted Love

Impalas - Speed Up

Soul is much harder for me, there are just too many tunes to pick (Northern or Modern, I like both). I'm listening Soul for something like 1.5 years or so but been into Motown etc. for some time now.

No need to take the piss just because he doesn't like it. Like 90% of British produced reggae, it's just crap compared to the real thing. Stand that next to something like Austin Faithful - I Am Losing You or The Tennors - Reggae Girl or Derrick Harriott - Been So Long etc etc

Pete, which of them is a reggae tune? for me all three are rock steady songs in the same way as from claudio´s list

Reggae:

Junior Soul - Glendevon Special

Derrick Harriott - It's Alright

Dennis Walks - Belly Lick

but rock steady is another topic which cannot be beated by any reggae song in this world.

by the way, Trevor & The Maytones - Every Day Is Like A Holiday from claudio´s list is for me one of the boringst songs under the sun and a wast in vinyl, but also that one found some fans.

Well Glendevon Special is indeed rather Rocksteady than Reggae but it doesn't really matter to me... but Belly Lick, Reggae Girl or Been So Long????? You can't say Rocksteady as a genre can't be beaten by any Reggae tunes... There are hundreds of great tracks after 75(I know Pete doens't like anything after 71 or so ) which have the same power(Jr Gong, Nicodemus, Super Cat etc.etc.) as Ska/Rocksteady tunes.

Trevor & The Maytones boring? The A Side is great (Have you time) and imho the B side is even better. It has everything a good track needs: Plenty of bass, good rhythm and singing.

By the way 95% of all Torpedo records are just utter crap and the Hot Rod all stars were probably the most untalented band in the world. Same for bands like The Setters, Hippy Boys or The Corporation...

After all it's just a matter of taste.

All of them are reggae - fast, early reggae - they're as different from rocksteady as rocksteady is to ska! But "It's Alright" is rocksteady.

I can´t agree with you Pete, but I have to accept it because your ears are far older than mine and probably also more sensitive

Plus I obviously know what I'm talking about and you don't, must be because I've been listening to it for 40 years...

You can not say they were untalented, otherwise they would had one hit after the other..just hear todays radio and you will hear all that untalented crap and i don´t think the times has changed since the 60´s in the music business

I doesn´t like the most output of that bands either, but in general is it not the worst basic to have no or less talent. without so called "un- or less talented" bands a rare or northern soul scene wouldn´t exist today and a skinhead reggae scene either.

maybe you are now TOO old to talk about it Pete

Just stop making yourself look stupid and go and find one person who thinks that you know the difference between rocksteady and reggae because you evidently don't, or better still, ask Tony Rounce or Toad or D The Drug if they think that I Am Losing You or Been So Long oh and Reggae Girl (er, the clue is in the title) are not actually reggae at all but are in fact...rocksteady!

you are so right pete, I don´t know the difference and will go to ask some experts, but now please stop to be pissed.......you are not too old, you are in the right age for an old man

by the way i don´t think there is someone out there who is able to set a clear definition about what is exactly (early) reggae or what is (late) rock steady . the tennors can thousend times or more singing "reggae" in their songs, but as long as there is no difference in tempo and rhythm to so many rock steady songs, should it be up to me if i understand it as rocksteady or reggae.

This is one of the strangest arguments I've ever had and I don't think I'm going to say anymore.

the rudies "brixton rocket" on uk fab is a killer, fast organ driven instrumental. been recently sold on ebay for a uncredibely highest price!!!!!!!

Don't take me TOO seriously here, but I think the fine line between rocksteady to reggae should be defined by the exact date and time Lynn Taitt packed it up and moved to Canada!

Of course this will prove to very very historically inaccurate, as both styles were being recorded at the same time; I just like to marvel at the contributions made by Lynn Taitt to Jamaican popular music in the 60s and give him as much credit as possible...

Spot on, Lord.

...and let's not forget that not only did he play on thousands of sessions (unmistakeably, but often un-credited), but also graced the UK Pop charts at least once via Johnny Nash's HOLD ME TIGHT B) B)

I wonder how Lyn Tait (or even JA music) would have developed had he stayed back-a-yard?

"Belly Lick" is for me a real rubbish tune!..but Claudio is the typical only jamaican prod. "mental-limited boy", if it's a jamaican production no matter if it's rubbish, claudio will says: Great Tuneee!!

I know perfectly this people...

Relax Andreas, I like Jamaican and British reggae, this one is a cool song =)

You should ignore commentaries of limited people, They will never change, and will continue listening "Belly Lick" though the lyric is so stupid.

Long life to British Ska & Reggae!

Regards
