1974, not 1976… ;-)
Some heavy tunes on here – thank you !
Hey Kaat, the internet speaks of 1973 and my copy, feel free to download and check the backsleeve, speaks of 1976. So who am I to change that ..?
hey! thank you for the upsetters! i have a few recordings by them that i could email to you if you would like. i also have some soca music by a band called the tradewinds–the cover art alone is worth having! i am not sure how to email you, but i can give you my email if you’d like. let me know…
hi moos. sorry i realized after i left that post that the upsetters are not very hard to come by. but you should really google “the tradewinds sexy lady” this won’t let you down!
Much thanks. You started me on a streak of Upsetters albums with this one. Knowledge is power.
Cheers,
Zen
Thank you so much for posting this edition.
I agree with your policy of identifying the specific release, because there can be differences in the mastering, pressing, track order, etc. from one to another.
As an aside, the “captcha” key for this message was “iredfro” — a Jah Manifestation, mon? 8^)
Yes! Knowledge is power. Thanks again Moos for all your love!
Used to have this album a long time ago, always a favourite, especially Kentucky Skank, recently bought “”Essential Madness from the Scratch Files” – Lee Perry The Upsetter”(not a bad album), which has Kentucky Skank as one of the tracks, seems to be a different version, have downloaded this to check for sure.
Many thanks too for your brilliant site, so many offerings from the African diaspora, a real listening pleasure/treat, very greatly appreciated.
