July 28, 200519 yr Author See what you think of this - very soulful rocksteady harmony - I paid a lot for this, about £80 but I've seen it go for double that - Johnny & The Attractions on Doctor Bird

I sold my spare on ebay last week unfortunately.
July 28, 200519 yr See what you think of this, bit of Studio One magic link What is this one Pete,I really like it?
July 28, 200519 yr No I haven't heard that Andy - 70's? link The LP`s from 1980 and is mainly soul,but " Island Girl " has huge reggae influence to it.
July 28, 200519 yr Author What is this one Pete,I really like it? link "A Fool" by Alton Ellis...shame it's so short though, about 1:40
July 28, 200519 yr Magnificent. Paid more than I should have done for a blank for a few years ago but what a record. While I'm here, Pete - BELLES BAND!
July 28, 200519 yr Whilst we are on a Jamaican thread have a listen to this..I have no info on it at all - it just turned up on a cd. I like it.Col. link ...yes,so do I...think I have it too...somewhere......!
July 28, 200519 yr Author Just when I thought I'd heard it all, this comes along. I've been transferring evrything onto the pc and I found this, I don't remember ever hearing it before or ever even having known it existed; it's a very well known track but completely different...stopped me in my tracks!

July 28, 200519 yr Id rather hear this kinda stuff at northern do's instead of r'n'b any night of the week. link I recently bought a Trojan records box set of Jamaican RnB, features quite a lot of tracks by The Blues Busters who I think have a soulful sound. The first track of theirs that I heard (not on this box set) just blew me away: 'Soon you will be gone', incredibly soulful!
