Reggaebass Posted July 24, 2021 Author Posted July 24, 2021 Apparently you can hear Alton Ellis in the background, even with headphones it’s really faint, I don’t know the song but it’s pretty old 1 Quote
Reggaebass Posted July 25, 2021 Author Posted July 25, 2021 Fairly sure I haven’t posted this great track from Patrick Andy, i remember it from around 1983, but not sure of the exact release date, I think you’re gonna like this 2 Quote

They changed the name from L.M. to Maputo in the end 1 Quote
