Bunion Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 (edited) As a young man Growing up in Birmingham in the late 70’s & 80’s i found that we were far more integrated than we are now, I attended more than my fair share of ‘blues parties’ usually someone’s house and they could last days, occasionally you got lucky and some huge house in Handsworth or Moseley might have a sound system. steel pulse were rising stars but this one track and certainly the video that goes with it takes me back to good times Edited May 22, 2021 by Bunion 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waddo Soqable Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 (edited) Paragons...Old school ! I do hope they got some serious royalties from blondie for "tide is high" ! Edited May 22, 2021 by Waddo Soqable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SumOne Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 (edited) 1950, first ever Ska tune?... or certainly a big influence. This was a big tune Coxone played in the 50s (while keeping it's identity secret) and rival soundman Duke Reid was after it for years - revealing he'd got it at a soundclash. Coxone later set up Studio One and produced music by the Skatalites where you can assume he asked them to make similar tunes. I got the story from the excellent book 'Bass Culture: When Reggae was King' Edited May 23, 2021 by SumOne 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waddo Soqable Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 (edited) I've been having a blast from the past and listening to some Scientist tonight.. Tracks like this were very influential to some of the post punk bands too, especially the likes of Killing Joke etc, so influences go round in all directions.. I believe this track has Ansell Collins on keyboards. Edited May 22, 2021 by Waddo Soqable 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggaebass Posted May 23, 2021 Author Share Posted May 23, 2021 I was listening to the album Showcase by Triston Palmer during the week, he’s known better for Joker Smoker, it’s from 1982, it’s worth a listen, there’s some really great Flabba Basslines on there that I’d forgotten about, here’s a few The album has 6 tracks with vocals and 6 without 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
