I was living in Hulme when this came out and used to walk over to moss side to see various mates who lived there.. about 5 mins walk! 

Often used to hear this blaring out of windows on the Hulme crescents

Good tune, strangely I don’t think I’ve heard that before, apparently dem a sus was about the stop and search laws at the time

Well sums up the attitude that babylon (police) had towards the brothers in the seventies as well - nuttin change ....................

Internet gives this a 2020 date - it was licensed from Trojan, & I reckon it's probably 67/68.

Surprised you've not come across it, but maybe you kind of had to be there, don't know how widely distributed it was...

Yep the "Sus" laws, look it up, it was basically they could pull you if they "suspected" you for pretty much anything, so a kind of blank cheque really

Nice one t-h , I was listening to the original of guess who’s coming to dinner today by Michael Rose before it was recorded with sly and Robbie, titled Dreadlocks coming to dinner 

 

[Reggaebass]

An early one from the Gladiators, nice Bassline and I’m pretty sure it was Clinton fearon on bass then 

 

[Reggaebass]

The new one from Alain M, 25 reggae basslines part 2, he’s the bass player in Asham Band in Belgium , great player , now to name them all

I might have posted this before -

Stumbled across 'Rocket to Kingston' by 'Bobby Ramone' the other day. What do reggae aficionados think of this?

 

If you don't know about this album, the clue is in Bob Marley's face pasted over that of Dee Dee Ramone...

It's a bit of fun, there were quite a few of those incongruous mash up type "bands" in the '00s like hayseed dixie (AcDc played on banjos) and heavy metal ABBA and that kind of thing 😁

[Reggaebass]

I skipped through the tracks and I’m afraid it’s not a bit of me, but I can see how a ramone/ reggae fan might like it 🙂, didn’t the clash have a reggae album

Sounds like summer ting

This one is a little different but I like the way the Bassline goes 

and Street Lover by the Morwells, not exactly sure if it’s Flabba playing here but he was in the band around this time , sounds like him

If you’re stuck for something to listen to I can recommend the album Jerusalem by Alpha Blondy, it’s a mixture of different song styles and Aston Barrett on bass, i like this one

Used to play it a lot to get myself through night shifts.
