stewblack Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Learning songs for upcoming rehearsals and this is on the list. I know all the others but hadn't heard this before. Unashamedly derivative of Robert Nesta, but a nice tune nonetheless 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good points. I want to go and listen to do much music I’m unaware existed, and will be doing so. The less good? Anyone who at the same time (mid to late 70s) loved reggae, who also - being a longhair - had to endure the ever present threat of walking around a corner guitar in hand to be confronted by a bunch of skinheads (I took several beatings, one quite serious), and who struggled at the time and ever since to understand the fact that the very same skinheads also loved this same music, will find several sections of this book both enlightening and - in terms of the actions of some music business people at the time in essentially hiding the ethnicity of the performers to increase sales and build a white market for reggae - disappointing in equal measure. Certainly, and whilst recognising it was far from reggae, how I view the Two-Tone artists/label/era have shifted hugely. I think I’m going to give it some thought and start a separate thread 🤔 But back to the glorious music which is what this thread is about. Gonna listen to some of this tonight 👍 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
