(yeah, I know he's not on the latter, but you mentioned Bunny Lee and its the only Live & Love collection I still can't find....plus it's great stuff!)Jahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00846452118825658777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19953240.post-52365331838223721632010-01-03T16:24:12.254-08:002010-01-03T16:24:12.254-08:00steve say:

The rootsier stuff that he cut with Perry and on his own labels suited Jazzbo far better than all those deejay feud records. Jazzbo didn't really do humour, so he was always going to come out second best in against I-Roy ('Jazzbo, if you were a jukebox, I wouldn't put a dime in your slot'). I actually think that some of the other stuff he cut with Bunny Lee is pretty good - those two versions of 'Queen of the Minstrel' for instance.lalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00133505125254813030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19953240.post-73036709748173553262009-12-15T15:52:35.832-08:002009-12-15T15:52:35.832-08:00Incidentally, the organ led cut of "Ting-A-Li...Incidentally, the organ led cut of "Ting-A-Ling" was the second version the Heptones cut for Coxsone, no? Was the one dubbed as "King a Thing" and "Theme A Ling", and later versioned by Alpheus, Glen Washington and JD Smoothe at Fulton Street, Brooklyn in the late nineties not the original cut?the_voice_of_reasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10179007944478552588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19953240.post-47581395201364457902009-12-15T15:47:02.416-08:002009-12-15T15:47:02.416-08:00This was the era of overdubbing by the Brentford R...This was the era of overdubbing by the Brentford Rockers, with Pablove Black and Jackie Mittoo on keyboards, Horsemouth Wallace on drums, Bagga Walker on bass and Ernest Ranglin on guitar working round the basic backing track.<br /><br />There's no doubt that Jazzbo's style has moved a long way from the days of "Playboy Version", "Jah Dip" and "Crabwalking"; I suspect his time with Scratch and cutting tunes like "Step Forward Youth" had allowed him to hone a more mature stye after rather losing his way with Bunny Lee during the I.Roy feud. This is one of his best tracks IMHOthe_voice_of_reasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10179007944478552588noreply@blogger.com
