Two from '81

 Here are a couple of tunes from 1981; 'Street Of Gold', the Heptones update of the Gladiators' classic, and 'Blood Stain', a sort of early dancehall thing from Peter Broggs. They're pretty different, but both good in their own way.


Of the two I prefer 'Street Of Gold' - it's the harmonies, the rhythm section, and above all the dub that set it apart for me.


I've sorted out my computer problems now, so I'll be posting a bit more often. As always, hope you enjoy.

Thanks for the Heptones-tune, but the Broggs-link leads to the Heptones file. too...

i love the heptones tune - just bought this a few months ago. Roots Natty is one my fave roots tunes of all time.

both nice tunes..

the combination of jumpy, positive intrumentals and the singing on "blood stain" almost feels sarcastic ;)
