Listening to hospital trolley by I Roy yesterday I immediately recognised the intro from Java by Augustus Pablo which is among one of my favourite tracks and Basslines by him 

Which led me to this, which I think is the original, but there’s been so many versions I can’t be 100% , I think Fully Fullwood was the bass player on this

Pablo and Chin recorded "Java" (1972) together, as soon as Pablo quit Now Generation and Clive was able to obtain studio time. This instrumental was a massive hit and launched Pablo's solo career. He recorded with Chin and others including Lee Perry and Chin's uncle, Leonard Chin.

I'm sure this is a version of 'I'm Coming Home', which I thought was by Ray Charles, but apparently not - any ideas ?

Good tune, I quite like the skatalites, on the Christine website it says,It was a ska version of Comin  home baby a song written by Ben Tucker and first recorded by the Dave Bailey Quintet in 1961

Cool,

I might have to explore the skatalites a bit more, Lloyd Brevett was a great player and I think he had something to do with the Melodians too, I remember reading somewhere that they recorded at Randys ,which must have been in the really early days , but ill have to check that

Had a good listen to the Ganja Man album by Linval Thompson today  there’s 10 tracks and 5 dub versions on it , I’ll be learning a few of the basslines in the next few weeks, it’s well worth a listen,
