stewblack Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Not for me I'm afraid! Each to their own of course, but disco reggae is clearly too refined a taste for my palate. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggaebass Posted May 9, 2021 Author Share Posted May 9, 2021 I used to listen to a lot of snoop and Dre, and when snoop dog changed and went reggae as snoop lion I thought it was going to be great, but I listened to all the albums and I didn’t like one track Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tandro Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 So maybe nobody else is gonna care about this, but my mind was blown recently! I had posted up a cover of 'Lady' done by Wayne Wade a couple weeks ago on this thread that I had been listening to for years, and it got me to thinking what else he has. I then stumble across 'Too Experienced'. I was like, hold on, that is a Barrington Levy song (Which I absolutely love!)...but Wayne Wade must predate that, so Barrington's is a cover of his! So I keep searching, and I come across this article: https://jamaica-gleaner.com/gleaner/20111002/ent/ent4.html Only to realise that they are both covers of a song by Bob Andy from 1970. This may be old news for some, but I was amazed to find all this out! Just in case it interests anyone, here are 3 version of the same song (or 2 versions and one original). That Barrington version will forever have a special place in my heart from my youth, but it was so cool to find out a little history of the song and hear how different artists did it in slightly different styles. If you've made it this far reading this, congratulations on listening to my ramblings Hope you enjoy the music. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taunton-hobbit Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 PAMA RECORDS 78 Craven Park Rd, Harlesden, London NW10 4AE. Three brothers, Harry, Jeffrey and Carl Palmer (who had all emigrated from Jamaica in the 50s and 60s) founded Pama Records, a record shop, label and distributor, in Harrow in 1967 with the aim of bringing Jamaican music to the UK. In 1968 Pama relocated to 78 Craven Park Road and became the main-competitor to Trojan Records. Pama released records by local artists, Junior English and Delroy Washington (Federation of Reggae Music) however their biggest hit (released on their Unity label) was Max Romeo’s ‘Wet Dream’, despite being banned from UK radio and receiving no airplay it made no.10 in the UK charts in the summer of 1969 selling 250,000 copies. One of Pama’s first releases in 1968 was 'The Champ' by The Mohawks, which would become one of the most sampled tracks in hip hop. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T'were somehere fooking trendy in that Lunnon place (Whisky a Go Go ? Dunno, can't remember) Squatting down in the middle, in a bluddy kaftan, were that John Peel geezer, who swayed gently while he took in what to me was a dreadful noise - but what do I know?
