268590 no step, but there's usually an empty buckie crate for the connoisseur of the finer, more complex manoeuvres.

Theme 280 - "We're playing...where?!" Live performances in unusual venues/places. Some bands have performed at some odd places over the eons. So, pick a song (and YT vid link, if available), performed at strange places. It could be out at sea, on an active volcano, in the middle of a jungle or in a desert, in a war torn country, at an ancient site, like an Inca/Aztec city, an isolated monastery on top of mountain...and so on...you get the drift. The odder the better - theDuke

268590 "reggae into the charts worldwide"

well, that's true, but since the 'orchestral' era, and discounting uk. acts, reggae/roots hits have been relatively scarce outside marley and the occassional one-offs from mibbe sugar minott, dennis brown, greg'ry, 3rd world and althea and donna (which was john peel propelled to the no.1 spot). as i think, (huh!) even some of those were u.k. target mixed, so, yeah, mibbe the real thing required sweetening (except sugar minott obvs) for the populace!
268590 no, i did not, you cheeky bastid! there is a special disused shop front for that kind of thing!
268590 ye'd get the pish ripped oot ye in killie king street!

i wouldn't either, but i like the nasa one.

268590 it's a form of butchery, to make reggae palatable to the u.k. pop kids - strange concept when you think about it! later on, island, amongst others, watered down music from burning spear, scratch and many others to make roots acceptable. they even turned the wailers into a touring rock band! and that's actually shocking, considering how much black music was promoted by blackwell et al. all about the mighty dollar, i suppose.

268590 'first time on cd' appears to be the main selling point of doctor bird, i.e.
amazon.co.uk/Negrea-Love-Dub-Outlaw-O..., claiming a 1st - i can produce both in cd form from 'evolution of dub vol.3'. there are others, latest p.far i comp, etc. so as much as the quality of the releases (the one's i own, although brass says it's not all good), they're punting their products on mis-information.
not good, but still better than the deception peddled by the 'jamaican recordings' label, whereby they employ current day mixes on original (and sometimes, poorly sourced) material without caveat attached. some of their catalogue is fine, but my interest in anything dies when i see the label. 'kingston sounds' is a sub-label, and while not as guilty, are still worth avoiding.

268590 ah, joey tempest! a true-born roasterman!

however, 'beat down babylon' is 'kin' brilliant, kinda backs up scratch's claim to have invented reggae*, deffo a proto-roots album, a blueprint for much of what was to follow - magnificent (and massive) collection of extras. features many rhythms that would feature in much of scratch's later black ark work.
the label, doctor bird, will really have to up their research means tho', their 'first time on cd' claims are often very wide of the mark.
