Heavy, heavy roots Reggae.

Lucifer Lucifer you son of a bitch
If I ever catch you I’ll lock you in a box and throw you in a ditch

RIP Bunny Wailer, another legend gone. A couple of big names lost in the last couple of weeks (U-Roy & Bunny).

Or what about X-O-Dus, Factory Records only reggae release…

Nobody’s put up any King Tubby, so to rectify that…

And how about Sly and Robbie do King Tubby…

While we are on a dub tip…Iration Steppas rereleased some of their classics late last year.

I managed to miss this thread somehow… always liked a bit of Scientist (Dub Landing was a fav), Mikey Dread, The Congos. My collection of vinyl came from regular post-pay-day visits ‘up town’ to Daddy Kools in Dean Street.

You gotta love this vid, I Roy tune too:

Thread bookmarked.

I’ve been having a reggae day today so I thought I would revisit this thread.  I’ve enjoyed the songs posted.  Trouble is I can’t remember if these have been posted by me or others before and I have not been all the way thru the thread.  sorry if its duplicates

Cracking version of Jonny B Goode

Pretty sure I posted Beres Hammond “rockaway” before – its so nostalgic but I love it so its gets posted again

Lovely sleazy late night feel to this – and loads of memories for me

not big heavy but popped up on a documentary on the Cov music scene and, well, I like it.

Seems like the appropriate thread for this. New Lee Scratch Perry out today. On Tricky’s False Idols label. Some of it a bit over-produced, but some nice stuff on there.
“…closing track ‘Goodbye’ was Perry’s last ever recorded vocal performance.”

I was starting to move the living room about last couple days including the records from their cupboard.
Inevitably, that ended as not much moving and lots of pulling records out and listening to them… had completely forgotten about Misty In Roots – enjoyed “Live at the Counter Eurovision” and “Wise and Foolish” LP’s.

Apologies if this is already on here

50 minutes of sheer brilliance

No idea if it’s heavy, or if it’s roots but it is reggae and I’m loving listening to ’10 foot ganja plant’.

Saw this guy last week. Very very good vocalist. A lil bit Chronnixy.

Also Kabaka Pyramid getting some plays too.

The Hempolics

Somehow, part of me isn’t surprised about the number of tracks that have aroused the ire of the Copyright Police and YouTube algorithms.
