After\u00a0uploading the Bollock Brothers post,\u00a0I was in need of some sweet\u00a0medicine for my aching ears\u2026here is a selection of incredible rare grooves on 12\u2033 from Jamaica, to make me feel better. Worthy of the plastic the tunes were pressed up on, unlike the previous post.<\/p>\n

First up \u2018bad boy\u2019 Linval Thompson with his cut of the \u2018Real Rock\u2019 rhythm, made famous in the early 1970\u2019s with Coxsone\u00a0Dodd\u2019s studio one session muso\u2019s The Sound Dimension, later hi-jacked by Dillinger and many others. Most of the public out there would remember the Willie Williams cut \u2018Armageddon Time\u2019 beautifully covered by The Clash in 1979.<\/p>\n

Freedom Sounds released this unknown vocalist (to me anyway) Clifton Campbell with one of the mightiest tunes I own, Trinity running off with 100% pressure on the DJ cut seals it for me. I always drop this tune on any\u00a0Reggae Nights I used to perform (?) at\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n

Carlton And The Shoes remake of their own classic \u2018Better Days\u2019 originally cut for Lee Perry in the mid 1970\u2019s, this version is on Dennis Emmanuel Brown RIP label D.E.B and is a lot slower and has a much more \u2018dread\u2019 feel to it. Carton And The Shoes shared members with The Abyssinians. Junior Delgado RIP with his huge UK and JA hit \u2018Trickster\u2019 on the other side of the Carlton And The Shoes\u00a0track, produced by Dennis Brown.<\/p>\n

Hoziah Lawrence I know nothing off, although Jack Ruby\u2019s RIP label Fox had the mighty Burning Spear releases on it. One time at Jack Ruby\u2019s bar in Ocho Rios, Fatjaw who used to chant on the mic on the Fatman Sound System in the early 1970\u2019s almost put a man to death in front of myself and Bobbly Jax Bird, my wife, for the crime of hitting wifey with the wing mirror of the car, as he had attempted to drive past slowly. Luckily Fatjaw pardoned the guy after we told him Jax was fine!<\/p>\n
