We Are Jah Jah Children.............

Trevor Junior - I & I Time and Clarence Parks - Things A Come Up To Bump also on the same riddim. Considered the same riddim as Lloyd Parks - Slaving. Both have a similar bassline but the bassline in the "I & I Time" version is more prominent.

Gone With The Restless Wind

Very nice LP cut from the "Dynamic Duo" 1986 LP. Cover looks like it was inspired by "Saved By The Bell" or something..lol

Similar (or same?) riddim as "Police In Helicopter"

Next Cut to "Be A Better Nation"..........

This is one cool tune about a dude touring the world and reporting his encounters. "Go a Japan and learn the ninja.....Inna Japan mi haffi really wonder, some youth over deh must be genious or wha...youth deh a 10 and a build radio.." He also tours New Delhi & Calcutta in India and is introduced to crickerters Sunil Gaveskhar and Kapil Dev. "One thing mi learn about India is dem love eat rice and pepper." He also makes a diplomatic visit to England meet with Ms. Thatcher "to sit down and reason about South Africa."

Tuff

Home T - Got No Time To Waste (track 4)

Me A No Gunman, So Don't Come Running Officer

Diamonds & Thrills

Sick digital tune by Melody Beecher on Nura 7"

Killer bad girl digital tune. One guy giving her diamonds and the other giving her thrills. "He gives me diamonds, you give me thrills...you give me what I need, he pays the bills." Killer Riddim, Killer lyrics = top notch digital tune.

Listen: http://www.jetsetrecords.net/sample_player/76f0488e8855f436e0df261724ee448d

Also, check M. Beecher on a fresh digital lick of skylarking, track #5, Be somebody.

Duppy Come Again

Very similar bass line on these two

Jah Love

If you like the "Tonos Dub Mix", then you will like this:



Very similar but not the exact same riddim.

Jammy's One A Way Riddims

If you have been following this blog for the past 6-7 months, you will see that I have huge appreciation for 80's Jammy's digital tunes. The Jammy's digital sound of the the mid to late 80s withstood the test of time and is still sounds fresh to this day. "Sleng Teng" is great and fully deserves the acclaim it gets. However, some of the lesser known Jammy's digital productions that deserve some light of day are:

Frankie Paul - Peel Off A Mask (mass , money) - An advanced and layered riddim that is not reliant on a bassline. A totally unpredictable riddim. I believe that this is the only released tune on this riddim. There is another one but it's on dubplate and I"m on the lookout for it :). You can hear a soundclip at the following site:

http://www.juno.co.uk/products/sara/382178-01/

Dennis Brown - Up Full One: It starts off a little slow but once that bassline drops it just continues to pound away. Also, I love the oriental sounding synth work.



Some other Nice ones that I'm too lazy to write about, check them out:

Nittty Gritty - Brown Girl In The Ring

Judy Emannuel - Love Hangover (Rumours riddim)



Gregory Isaacs - Steal A Little Love (FRESHHH)

"Big Mouth Mazuka Him A Di Entertainer....

...when him start talk is share shot a fire...."


"Keep in a dance @ the gun factory, who a promotion - the one M1, who a the gateman - bad boy remington, bushmaster him a the bartender, big mouth mazooka him a di entertainer, when him start talk is share shot start fire.....22 and .32 a cook the menu, it was hot lead & copper mix with gunpowder." WOW, a lyrical feast.

The irony of this song is that the dance gets ambushed/robbed by gunmen who are guns! Wrap your mind around that. "Who a guard the money - AK-47...if you start lick two, we a guh get yuh ripple."



Two other cuts on the riddim. Barry Morgan - Ripper / Barry Morgan - Global Confrontation, Ayeola 7"

Girls Nowadays

Love Won't Let Me Wait

Fresh jammy's late 80s.

English Woman With A Cool Profile

Nuff Dollars, That Rule

"Think So So Love Can Hold The Girls? Mek A Sad Mistake.. Just Remember This a '88, Nuff Dollars, That Rule"....one of the greatest intro's to a tune ever.

Sick Vena/Exterminator production from 1988, Pirana So-So Love

Next cut to this is Frankie Paul - Call On Jah Jah

Come On Jah

For those of you that like that Horace Martin (???) - Give Me The Vives (Music Track) thing:

Check for Frankie Paul - Come On Jah..similar riddim

Be A Better Nation

Tinga Stewart - Downtown Girl is on the same riddim. Appears on the Mixing Lab Showcase Vol 2 along with the Be A Better Nation

All the big names of the 80s on the same riddim

Go To Be Conscious (Tonos Dub Mix riddim)

Pray

Techniques Digital

Next cut to this Frankie Paul is, Sanchez - Hard Times

Mr Richman

Congo Ashanti Roy - Mr. Richman - Starts off a little slow. The riddim drops at :15 in and it's pure heat. Some other cool cuts on the LP. Wicked cover art also.

Run Around Boy

Cop A Come Again

Next cut to "Cop A Come" is Admiral Tibett: Mi Lover

Holy Trinity

3 Killer tunes all on the same riddim..Yes..same riddim, Youthman Invasion is on a much slower version of the riddim.

Junior Delgado Undercover Jammy's LP (Road Block 1986)

Wicked Junior Delgado Jammy's produced LP that is barely known to most:

2) Love Me Tonight

3) King Size Headache (nice)

4) Are You Coming (next cut is Anthony Johnson - I Love You)

5) Liberation (Jammy's cut of "Black Cinderella")

6) Road Block

Hilarious video!

Addicted To The Dollar

Two sweet early 90s digital tunes. The Sammy Dread is a US/Texas press 12" released in 1993. The Mango was released in 1991 on Striker 7". Other than similar sounding intro's on both tunes, there is no other relation.

Black Crucial performs his hit tune "Mr. Sonny ('83, Jammys)" while riding in a Brooklyn, NY dollar van. He still sounds great. I would miss my stop on purpose to hear more.

Living In The Land Of Freedom, But It Is Prison Indeed

"When I Get My Freedom" (SOSee 7", '85-87)
Soulful digital roots tune by Michael Levy. "They are trying to kill the aspiration of the hungry one..How long the wicked reign over the humble one?" I think this tune is about South Africa, but the message is universal. SOSee: Save Our Souls from Evil Entities? for Everlasting Eternity? Who knows?. listen

RAMBO

This is the next cut to Trevo Junior - I&I Time

Don't Touch & Get Tied Up With It

This is one of my favorite jammy's riddims. It sounds simple but it's an advanced production with really cool synths throughout.

Wicked Man A Come Fe Destroy It, But All A Them A Smoke It Inna Secret

Check out the tough drum & bass track Mr. Collie by Glen Judah (Atlantean 12", 1983-84?)

The full tune is posted on his myspace:

http://www.myspace.com/glenjudah

Obscure 80s selections

Rougheck (Tempo)

Another obscure digital track on an obscure LP by UK group Three Dimension. The tune is "Roughneck" and it is a live band rendition of the Tempo riddim.

As for the tempo riddim, it could be possibly inspired by the piano riff from the Tamlin's 1980 hit "Baltimore." At :08 seconds in you can hear the first half of the tempo riddim.

Let Your Love Flow

Check out "Let Your Love Flow" by Bits & Pieces from their "On The Road Again" LP. "Let Your Love Flow" is a 1987/88 production that is on the Rumours bassline. Pretty nice track on a very obscure LP, one that has country music covers and r&b tunes!!

If I Had A Hammer, I'll Break My Way Out This Slaveship

Bubble Me / One Iration

The Next cut to the Killer Struggle - Bubble Me can be found in the place you least expect it, Zema's 1984-85 self- titled LP. The cut is track #4, "One Iration." The LP is only 8.99 at EBreggae.com (Original Press) and features some other nice cuts.

New York, New York..You Can Get Everything in NY

Hysterical 80's Digital Yellowman tune on the Peanie Peanie Riddim. A truly enjoyable listen.

In This Time You Have To Be Militant Or....

Check out the following LP only digital killers:

Mikey Carroll - Militant (It is track #5 , not #6)..From The LP VA - Creative Hot Shots Vol 2.

Roy Rayon - Left Right & Centre (Track #4)..From the LP Roy Rayon - Trash & Ready

International Iration

I've recently unearthed a mid 80s gem, "Rock For The Nation" by british reggae group Talisman. The song appears on their 1985 "Jam Rock" LP, and it is a smooth, slick and enjoyable listen.

Listen

Not A Hand, Not A Foot, Not A Strand Of Hair...

I was browsing through tunes today and came across the very interesting & obscure Fathead - Space Shuttle Crash (revolution riddim) 12" on the Papa Roots label. Fathead, now deceased, graphically describes the 1986 Challenger Space Shuttle Crash. The lyrics are quite macabre and some lines leave me scratching my head. I love tunes from the 80s about disasters and other current events. These tunes place me back in time to my childhood. For example, the line "I saw Ronald Reagan was talking on the air..," flashed back the memory of me actually watching this on TV. I thank these artists for keeping a historical record! Imagine a few thousand years down the line the only remaining historical record of this disaster turns out to be the Fathead 12'!! Listen

Your Enemies Are Everywhere

Check out "Your Enemies Are Everywhere" from Maxine Miller's - Complete Lovers album. The album is entirely produced by King Jammy's and it sounds like it's from the late 80s/early 90s. "Your Enemies..." is on a riddim with similar vibes to that of "Rumours." I don't believe it was released on vinyl, but defintely give this tune a listen because it is KILLER.

Vintage Soundsystem Street Performance

U Beat Me Up, U Put Me Down, U Make Me Feel Ashamed

When I Ask For A Raise,You Look @ Me Like I'm Your Slave

"Slave Driver" (EVA 7", '89)
The original "Slave Driver"by Hubert Francis was initially released on Tycoon 7." The EVA 7" is the digital update by Hubert under the moniker Robo Cop (FZ Francis). The production is top notch and clean. Overall a well produced tune. It's one of those tunes with a message that will be relevant throughout time in the world of the have and have nots. listen

Be Careful of The System or You Will Be A Victim

"A So The System Work" (Triumphant, 7", '85)
Soulful tune by Ruddy Simbal giving warning to those falling into the grasps of the system (workforce?). It's very reminiscent of Hubert Francis - Slave Driver , as in working hard for small pay and receiving "praise with no raise." Tight drum and bass riddim track. "A so the system work, if you nah check it out, you bound to get a jerk." listen

Strength & Power Today

I'm A Baldhead Living As A Righteous Rastaman...

Steve Machete - Righteous Rastaman

Tough digital tune on this obscure late 80s CD release, which also features well known tunes by Robert French & Major Worries. Dub Organizer riddim. Criss digital vibes.

Some Gyal A Run Street A Night....

Next cut to this riddim is Tony Culture & Stamma Ranks - Remember
Jah (Young Blood 7")

Jr. Demus on Tempo

Anytime We Come A Pure Live Stock

"Late Night Attack" (10 Roosevelt Ave, 7",'87)
Wicked tune by Vichous Irie detailing a late night ambush by gunmen while riding around town in a Honda Civic with his girlfriend (who "screams like a damn parakeet"). Shares the same killer riddim as Sister China - Jam The Calypso, Flourgon - Come Mek We Dweet (non harry j prod. 12"), Foxie - Muscular Man & Irie Fernandez - So Wonderful. listen

Look Pon Di Sweet & Lovely Girls Jah Provide Fi We

"Aids Body" (FlashIT, 7",1987)

Obscure cuss cuss killer by Joseph McCalla. One of the many reggae tunes with the AIDS theme that were released during the 80's. 50's hollywood movie star Rock Hudson gets a mention here, "lay down pon me bed with mi radio pon me head, hear a newsflash seh Rock Hudson dead (aids)." Unfavorable Ruck Hudson lines pop up in some other songs also. listen

Dem Ya Money It A Germs Carrier

Nah Guh A Prison For No Young Gal Behind

Nuh Easy At All In This Time

Little Girl I Don't Wanna See Your Face No More....

"Leave the Door" (Tonos 12", '84)
Amazing and highly underrated Patrick Andy cut that's the side b to Wayne Smith's - Dancing Machine. In my opinion, the Patrick Andy cut is just as good or even better than "Dancing Machine." "Leave the Door" is also on the Patrick Andy & Frankie Jones LP, "Two New Superstars," titled as "Little Girl." listen

Mr. Drug Abuser...You Are...A Loser

"Norcotics" (TB Sharp, LP, '88)
Peanie Peanie riddim cut by Papa Levi on this obscure UK pressing. Pretty humourous song, "like the sulfur pon a match stick, yuh body bun out quick quick quick." LL Cool J (reffered to as, LJ Cool J!!) and Slick Rick gets a mention here. If this song alone is not a good reason to get this LP, then you should check out the Sanchez track "Kill A Sound" also. listen

I'm No Superstar, No Movie Star..Jus a 1 Away Man..

Young Girllllllll

Chuck Turner - Young Girl (Presenting LP - Trump Jack '89)
One of my favorite Chuck Turner tunes. Mr. Turner does a really fine job of singing on this one. Released on the easy to find Presenting LP (only $20 @ DeadlyDragon), it's shocking that this tune is not popular as it should be. If you love that late 80's New York digital (Witty, Park Heights....) sound, then you will like this one. Listen (FFWD to 22:00 mark into the mix). Seriously, don't miss this one.

It's A Plot By The Wicked To Destroy Us

"War On Crack" (Strictly Roots 7", '87)
A well produced anti-crack tune by Aisha. The production is full and crisp. The intro has the same ominous feeling as the M*A*S*H theme song. A full digi onslaught at the wicked who plot to destroy us, "what now can they do to try to keep us down..just take a little crack & spread it around." Diabolical tune topped off smiley faces on the label. listen

Part Time Loving A Tricky Girl

Gunsh-ot-ottt..we dont like tha-a-at
