A mate from work asked me to go with him so I obliged. I don't usually go in for musical biopics, especially about artists I love. Maybe it's because I went in just hoping it wouldn't be rubbish, but I think they did a good job for Bob. Also I was pleasantly surprised to see the cinema nearly full, with many young teenagers in attendance. If the movie is turning on the current new generation to Bob, reggae and a path to positivity in general then it's a worthy job well done imho. 🙂 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks miles, yes it’s definitely positive if it reaches the younger audience, the cinema was fairly full and many young people there, I already knew the history of Bob from when I first bought Exodus around 77 but it was really good to see it in a film, I thought they did a great job of his life story, good to see a few shots of studio one too, I especially liked the part with the Wailing Wailers doing Simmer Down I’d say it’s definitely worth a watch if you haven’t already seen it 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gasman Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Loved the loads of authentic 1970s cars that featured strongly in the film, and the warehouse punk scene put in for a real contrast, as well as Bob's music being superb of course! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reggaebass Posted February 21 Author Share Posted February 21 Was going through some of King Sounds tracks and I like this version of the heptones song Book of Rules, great voice and bass 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taunton-hobbit Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 I have told this before (long time back) - I had the Heptones for a Sunday night show & the backing band simply didn't turn up. I landed up playing every Heptones version track that I could find, with the guys doing vocals on the dance floor through my dj mic (several times). The crowd loved it (& them) 😎 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassTractor Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Sacrilegious post warning! 😊 This is prog, but the partial reggae vibe made me think someone in this thread might actually like it. I do. It's a weird little ditty that I actually like a lot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taunton-hobbit Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 | have a copy of Freddie McGregor 'wine of violence' (which I dropped here a while back, it's a bit of a favourite of mine. Earlier today I was browsing my cd collection & came across a few that I'd bought but not listened to. A studio one cd offered the track, which is the 'original' recording (really?) I listened to & it just didn't do it for me, so I took to YouTube to have a look around - this is a direct steal, but (imo) loses nothing in 'translation' - 😎 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
