Ever since I listen to his delightful way of singing, I was
a fan of Don Carlos. We already had some of his records,
but this one was still missing. From 1983 on Burning Sounds
from CSA Records, this is another awesome Don Carlos album.
It contains the hits ‘Booming Ball’ and ‘Lazer Beam’ for instance.
Produced by Bunny ‘Striker’ Lee @ Channel One & Harry J.’s.
Voiced & mixed @ King Tubby’s. Engineered by Scientist.
Get it, spread it and listen to Don Carlos ..

Vanaf de eerste noten die ik hoorde was ik een fan van Don
Carlos. We hadden al enkele van zijn platen, maar deze ontbrak
nog. Uit 1983 en op Burning Sounds van CSA Records is dit een
heerlijk Don Carlos album. Hij bevat onder andere de hits ‘Booming
Ball’ en ‘Lazer Beam’. Produced by Bunny ‘Striker’ Lee @ Channel One
& Harry J.’s. Voiced & mixed @ King Tubby’s. Engineered by Scientist.

If I hear the song ‘Conscious Man’ I go back in time. It must have
been around 1980 I first heard the song, it brings back memories.
Now I’m a little confused about something. I have always experienced
it as a Lee Perry production. On the 1979 album ‘Consciousness‘
the producer of the song is claimed to be Tony J. On this record
that was only released in 1992, it is credited to Lee Perry. Now
who really was the producer? On this page I read Lee Perry did
the job in 1977. If anyone can clear up the matter, please do.
Meantime listen to these sublime Perry recordings

Today, dear music friends, we pay tribute to Rainford Hugh
Perry, better known as Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry. He died in Noel
Holmes Hospital in Western Jamaica age 85 yesterday.
Lee Perry was a legend and a pioneer in reggae music.
He worked with Bob Marley, Junior Murvin, Max Romeo,
Junior Byles, The Congos, The Heptones, Jah Lion, just to
name a view. I saw him quite a number of times and was
a huge fan of his groundbreaking work. Let’s all play
his music for at least a week. There are so many
wonderful records to enjoy. Condolences to
his family and friends. RIP dear Scratch ..

I recorded the first track for my reggae compilation series

from ? is on the ‘Techniques’ label. Tracks three and four
open with a strange hiss, sorry for that ..

I was asked to play on a friend’s wedding. The happy couple
made a little wishlist on which Half Pint’s ‘Greetings’ was noted
among other nice tracks. This was when I realised. Never ripped
and posted his work yet. High time to put things right and bring
you Half Pint. This is his 1986 album, originally in another sleeve.
(see small pick) Superb vocals by Lindon Andrew
Roberts alias Half Pint ..

Volgende week ben ik gevraagd te komen draaien op een bruiloft
van vrienden. Het gelukkige paar had een klein lijstje waarop ook
Half Pint’s ‘Greetins’ staat. Dit was hoe het tot me doordrong. Ik heb
zijn werk, op een nummer na, nooit geripped en gepost. Hoog tijd dus
om dit recht te zetten. Dit is zijn 1986 album, oorspronkelijk in een
andere hoes (zie kleine foto). Geweldige vokalen van
Lindon Andrew Roberts alias Half Pint ..

It is the legendary Sugar’s first album. From 1977 and two
years before his ground breaking Ghetto-Ology. Young Lincoln
Barrington Minott, better known as Sugar Minott, was born in
may 1956. On this record he is only 21 years old. Sugar
began singing 12 years of age, just
love his sweet voice ..

Het is Sugar’s eerste elpee, uit 1977 en dus twee jaar voor zijn
prachtige Ghetto-Ology. De jonge Lincoln barrington Minott,
beter bekend als Sugar Minott, werd geboren in mei 1956.
Op dit album is hij dus pas 21 jaar oud. Hij begon al met
zingen toen hij 12 was. Ik ben gek op zijn
zoetgevooisde stemgeluid ..

One of the first reggae-dub albums I knew was the famous
Bag-O-Wire. A Sonia Pottinger project from 1975. It was
also known as Marcus Garvey. On this Dutch release from
1976 the titles are changed in Prophecy 1 to 5, Fullfillment
1 & 2 and finally Judgement 1 to 3. I have this Dutch RMILP 03.
The Dutch release speaks of 10 tracks while the album has 11.
Together with some mistakes in the English liner-notes,
it is a bit of a mess. I have taken the original titles
and added the original images.

Eind jaren zeventig maakte ik kennis met deze klassieker.
Het was een van de eerste dub-albums die we hoorden.
Bag-O-Wire, een Sonia Pottinger project, ook bekend als
Marcus Garvey. Op de Nederlandse uitgave uit 1976 zijn de
titels veranderd in Prophecy 1 tot 5, Fullfillment 1 & 2 en
Judgement 1 tot 3. Ik heb die Nederlandse RMILP 03.
Deze uitvoering spreekt van 10 titels terwijl er 11
opstaan. Samen met enkele fouten in de Engelse
liner-notes een beetje een rommeltje. Ik heb
de originele titels genomen en de
originele afbeeldingen toegevoegd ..

The earliest in the discography is from 1978. The version we
find here is on Tappa Records. It says the album was produced
by Tappa Zukie. Recorded at Channel One Studio’s, voiced and mix
at King Tubby’s Studio by King Jammy’s. Discogs gives no year of
release, it feels like this must be the original first issue, correct
me if I’m wrong. Horace’s sweet voice is absolute unique ..

De vroegste uitvoering van deze plaat in de discografie is uit 1978.
