NIce post Gordy, apparently those instrumentals with Peter Tosh were never meant to be released, apparently on some or most of them he was just playing along to the track without being serious. You're right, most of them are rubbish - except for the version of "Uncle Joe" on the B side of "Moon Hop", entitled "Harris Wheel" - thats brilliant. I also agree with you about the UK stuff, most of it is tenth rate apart from Dandy's productions on Downtown, the early ones. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Pete S Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 You know Im anal. Gotta look like that stuff you got off me back in end of May. ROD Well it's possible because a huge amount of Ska Beat stock was sold in the 80's but it would probably come at a premium. If I was to adopt that buying process I'd have no records, I take them in any playable form really. I knew I shouldn't have bought those Islands off you. I've got 106 of them now.

My fave Sizzla is "Solid As A Rock" but I hate how he's being a good Rasta on some records then talking about women in a sexist way on others. Saw Gregory a few years before he died, his voice wasn't the best due to the years of drug problems but he was okay and come on, it was Gregory right there before me! Also seen Horace Andy, Max Romeo, Morgan Heritage, Marcia Griffiths, Tarrus Riley (with his dad Jimmy) and many more, not seen Beres though - last time he was 50 quid to see and that's a ripoff!

No I haven't heard of him but I will check him out on you tube, I have also seen Jimmy cliff, the heptones, toots & the maytals brilliant and I paid £35 to see Beres but it was worth every penny, and Tarrus Riley I would love to see him what a beautiful voice he has And yes I know what you mean about sizzla but solid as a rock is just one of the best he has done in my opinion But lovers rock just does it for me it's that sort of reggae you can listen to over and over again, but it's Gregory's voice just wonderful Nat xx Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
