Originally released in 1982, this is a re-release.
Very nice album with Wayne Jarrett sounding very much like Horace Andy.
Dub heroe Adrian Sherwood must have listened to this ‘version’material too.

I remember I discovered ‘Dyke & the Blazers’, back in the eighties
when I was going through my ‘Soulrevival’.
It was in a little old recordstore at the Prinsengracht in Amsterdam.
And it struck me !
Back in those days I bought me a re-release, later I found this
Original. Very groovy funky soul from 1967, a killer !

Have you seen the weather today ?
Stormy skys, big raindrops and heavy winds, all together a fine
day for some heavy dub music.
‘Mixed at King Tubby’s by Scientist at midnight Friday 13th June 1981.’
Whooooooooooo, I like the sound of that.
With the ‘Roots Radics’ this is one of Scientists very best.

About one and a half year ago I first heard ‘Thelma’, I was deeply
impressed by the way she knows to pull back the pace.
It was at Loronix, the great ‘Zecalouro’ introduced her to the world.
When I visited him later he gave me these files.
I already loved the work of Nelson Cavaquinho, so when he told me
about this album, I was thrilled.
These files are ‘Zecalouro’s Rips’. I am taking the liberty to post
them once more, I could not resist when I heard it again.
This LP is SO BEAUTIFUL, Nelson Cavaquinho does about three songs
himself, fantastic stuff.
Thank you so much again Zeca !

Dear Global Groover,
Until now we have been posting only Tropical Musicstyles at
‘Global Groove’, and ofcourse we shall continue to do so.
The blog’s title, however, indicates that we shall also start
to blend in some genres, looking from a broader perspective.
Black Music, in general, always had my first attention, and from
today I’ll post some other black styles too, like New Orleans Soul.
This album has always been one of my favourites, listen !

1 Working in the coalmine
2 Can you hear me
3 The greatest love
4 A mellow goodtime
5 Mexico
6 Get out of my life, woman

9 Holy cow
10 Don’t you ever ( leave me )
11 Neighbour’s daughter
12 A little dab a do ya

Now here’s one of my alltime Jamaican heroes, “Tappa Zukie”.
His records shook me when I first heard them early 80’s.
And then he came to ‘Paradiso’, Amsterdam, me and my friends went
totally nuts that night.
The forthflowing bass, and Tappa’s sweet voice, I still LOVE this.
Sorry about the quality, some cracking appears.
