Scientist 'Vampires' arrived today. I've got a bit of a collection going on and all these are decent, 'pac-man' is next on the list.

Licensing issues mean some are sold as 'Scientist' (mixed) while others are 'Junjo' (engineer Henry 'Junjo' Lawes) and some are 'Linval' (Producer Linval Thompson).

Thanks for that, I did wonder what the difference was as I’ve got Junjo wins the World Cup 👍

I think the recordings are exactly the same, I guess there wasn't a contract and over time the Mixer, Engineer, and Producer have each claimed credit (it just leaves the Roots Radics to stake their claim!).

On sky arts now, 'Rudeboy' Story of Trojan Records. Followed by Toots and The Maytals, From the Roots. 

Obviously more Ska orientated but should be of interest. 

 

Thanks Maude, Rudeboy is a great one, there’s some good old footage on that one ☝️

Any idea what bass Robbie is playing here, I’ve never seen him play this one 

 

I have searched far and wide but can't work it out. There is what looks like a name on the headstock but I can't make out what it says. Could it be the cheap and cheerful back up bass for the studio?
It's a great video for seeing his thumb technique. Does he ever use the bottom string?

Yeah, I had a quick search and couldn’t find a bass similar , I’ve seen Robbie play 5s often and I’ve rarely  seen him use the low B, he seems to play the 5 as a 4 🙂
