FLOORED by some pieces on there
Wow, I'll have to check this out as so many people are talking about it.
The last up-to-date stuff I bought was the Yam Who 2003 c.d, which is damn
good, especially the remix of Frontin' and the remix of Find a Way, and the
Something Electronic E.P by Nu Era, which I can't stop listening to. Been
looking forward to the DKD album but it just keeps getting put back! Is it
any good, anyone?
Apart from that I've managed to pick up a couple of old ones I've been after
for ages on Gemm. One is 'Thank the Lord', a 7" by Jimmy London, which is my
favourite reggae track and is just beautiful. Also managed to track down
another reggae thing- Hits from the House of Jah Shaka LP, which has got
'Jah Children Cry' on it, also a favourite of mine. As it happens, Jah Shaka
is coming to Bedford (UK) on May 8th so if there's anyone in the area who
likes their sound systems, it should be tight.
I've been trying to get hold of more reggae recently and someone suggested
'Heart of the Congos' by the Congos. Anyone here got any good suggestions,
apart from the (very good) Dynamite compilations and Trojan compilations?
P.S I remember you used to post on here all the time Steph, along with
Denise Benson, someone called 'Myrna' and some guy called Elson and someone
else called 'Witherspoon' or something. Are you all still friends? ;-)
