2009-06-05T10:36:00.006+01:00

If Frank Sinatra sang Jamaican Music would he have recorded this tune? no it's by I Roy Senior and one of the tracks on this latest compilation. I've no idea who I Roy senoir is probably a guy who just happened to be in the studio when this tune needed a DJ cut but isn't that just the fantastic thing about JA music that anyone can and were recorded in the whirlwind music industry.

12 Foot Of I Roy

2009-01-26T09:57:00.005Z

I Roy is my favourite artist & I’m happy to own probably 99.9% of his recorded work. He has been well represented by compilations most notably Blood and Fire’s “Don’t Check Me For No Lightweight Stuff” which I can recommend as the definitive collection of his work. There are other cds available but do be careful as there are a few out there which duplicate each other & are presented with alternate titles ,that said I’d like to think that this collection showcases some of his best 12” singles from JA,UK & US which are not so easy to find .Since I compiled this collection track 7 “Natty Dread Taking Over” has been issued on “Culture & The Deejays At Joe Gibbs” so if you enjoy track 7 why not try to get hold of a copy of the Culture cd.

01 Holligan Style – I Roy
02 I Trust You - Delroy & I Roy
03 I Man – Freddie Clark & I Roy
04 Jah Jah Star – I Roy
05 Trouble Town – Ras Midas & I Roy
06 Jah Is My Light – Leroy & I Roy
07 Natty Dread Taking Over – Culture & I Roy
08 That’s Prophesy – I Roy
09 Money Trouble – The Maytones & I Roy
10 Point Of View – Matumbi & I Roy
11 Some Kind Of Wonderful – Freddie McKay & I Roy
12 I’m In The Mood For Love – I Roy & Tommy McCook

Tear Drops - Freddie McKay

2009-01-05T09:53:00.005Z

Freddie is one of those artists whose work you don’t fully appreciate until you compile his work like this, only then do you realise his consistent quality of voice & song writing skills .
I’ve called this compilation Tear Drops because it’s a song he has returned to throughout his career ,I’ve included 3 cuts but I know of at least one more he did for Phil Pratt ( I don’t have a copy !) ,anyway here’s some tunes he did from early in his career as Freddie McLean in the ‘60’s to the early ‘80’s

01 - Susan
02 - Since I Met You
03 - Just A Little Bit
04 - Darling Ooh
05 - Tear Drops
06 - Tears Won't Help
07 - Dream My Life Over
08 - Where Have You Been
09 - Go On This Way
10 - Dance This Ya Festival
11 - How Could I Live
12 - Love Is A Treasure
13 - Love Is A Treasure
14 - I'm A Free Man
15 - Our Rendezvous
16 - Picture On The Wall
17 - Tears Won't Help

Natty Sings A Hit Songs - Dillinger

2008-08-19T11:38:00.001+01:00

Yes he does! and here's a selection of them showcasing how Dillinger benefited from the best rhythms from the Producer who was carrying the swing at the time in much the same way as my fave Toaster I Roy did .Producers featured here include Harry J, Errol T, Lee Perry ,C Dodd ,J Hookim ,L Parks P Pratt to name a few & thats what I believe kept Dillinger so Fresh(ly!) that and amusingly an ability to not be too worried about what rhymed with what ,check "Take A Dip " where Mr Bullocks rhythms Gregory with "Shregory" & Isaacs with "PIEZAX"

The Birmingham Beat

2008-07-14T11:20:00.003+01:00

In the Mid 70's I used to visit Brian Harris' Mango records shop on Handsworth Lane .Brian used to import new JA pre's every week , nothing unusual about that! loads of shops in Birmingham used to do that but not many others can boast a Quality UK group of labels . Alongside Keith Thornton of Black Wax records on Lozells Road three labels were set up ,Mango,Black Wax & Locks ,here's a taster of what they issued . Brian once told me he was on the verge of releasing Burning Spear records just before Island put a bid in ,and in fact issued some Perry produced gems deemed too rootsy for Island
