Not yet. It came with rounds when I bought it so I'll let them wear out first

Dancehall Friday

I’ve been listening to some early yellowman this week which I haven’t done in years, was going to go with one of his then remembered this, slower riddim but I think it’ll pass the dancehall 

I’ve still got many of my Barrington Levy albums, Shaolin Temple is my favourite but this is quite a classic

Not sure if I like this interpretation but I think it's worth sharing on here. Make up your own minds 😎

Yeah, I’ve heard that one before , it’s certainly different, I think they did a few different tracks, one was called rockers galore I think which wasn’t bad

I like the idea, but I think it's the tempo that doesn't work for me. The original has a fabulous laid back vibe, this is a little bit rushed.

Yes I know what you mean, some songs sound great with a reggae vibe or cover but I’m not sure about that one

Thanks for that Tony, solid gold vid.

I've never been down the Flabba rabbit hole. A new seam to mine. Cheers for the signpost 👊

 

King Tubby has been my Saturday...

 

To me, you can't beat a bit of King Tubby
