A Homeboy a Hippie and a Funki Dread were great. Perhaps there name gives us an
idea as to the roots of jungle...now there's thought.

I don't know about history but, when I was in England, the Narramine single
had just been released... I didn't know what the hell it was but all I knew
was that I NEEDED MORE OF IT! I still play that song today and it's always
greeted by a tearin' crowd a people ! I had heard that this tune is now
worth alot of money... anyone that can back that up? Should I stop playing
it and hide it away in a glass case or something? Also out at the same time
was Total Confusion/Work It Out by Homeboy, Hippie & Funky Dread and these
(plus GEN II) were MY first real exposure to hi-nrg breakbeats.

Sorry to continue a non-jazz thread (although there are definite connections)
