From the very first time I listened to this album I was amused
by the lyrics, ‘Entertainment is a form of enjoyment’. Happy
times with Triston Palmer and Jah Thomas.
I’d say “..enjoy this entertainment ..”

An excellent idea Mouhamadou, Linton Kwesi Johnson
scored big time at the end of the seventies. After the great
‘Dread Beat an’ Blood’ under the name Poet and the Roots,
he continued under his own name. This was the follower up
which we played thousands of times in those years. Very
strong lyrics and Linton’s deep voice is still indestructible.
It was about time for me to post the other albums ..

As a bonus I have added his 1980, 12″ single ‘Di Black
Petty Booshwah’ ..

Een zeer goed idee van Mouhamadou om het missende
werk van Linton Kwesi Johnson eens te brengen. Na zijn
geweldige ‘Dread Beat an’ Blood’ als Poet and the Roots
eind jaren zeventig vervolgde hij onder zijn eigen naam
met dit album. We hebben het toentertijd helemaal
stuk gedraaid. Zeer sterke lyrics en de onverwoestbare
diepe stem van Linton staat nog steeds als een huis.
Het was hoog tijd zijn overige platen eens te posten ..

Als bonus heb ik de 1980, 12″ single ‘Di Black Petty
Booshwah’ toegevoegd ..

Backed by the great Roots Radics and from 1982 we’ve
got this superb record with the late master singer Gregory
Isaacs. We had us some of his albums but there are still
some important releases to be posted. Let’s do a few,
starting with ‘Night Nurse’. Gregory’s lovers rock stood
out and still stands. Unmatched sound with Radics
Errol ‘Flabba’ Holt, Eric ‘Bingy Bunny’ Lamont, ‘Style’
Scott, ‘Steely’ Johnson, Dwight Pickney and others ..

Begeleid door de ongeëvenaarde Roots Radics en uit 1982
hebben we vandaag deze geweldige plaat met meester
zanger Gregory Isaacs. We hadden al een aantal van zijn
werken maar er staan nog wat belangrijke releases op
stapel. Laten we er eens een paar doen, met om te be-
ginnen ‘Night Nurse’. Gregory’s lovers rock was en is
door niemand overtroffen. Historische sound met
Radics Errol ‘Flabba’ Holt, Eric ‘Bingy Bunny’ Lamont,
‘Style’ Scott, ‘Steely’ Johnson, Dwight Pickney
en anderen ..
