Any chance they play in Grung Thep?

^Not in a million years

Unless we can pre-sell some tickets to some hi-so mofos for premium wedge and at least sort out the airfares and hotels.

No audience here - they love their own music - and fair play

No ravers - no vibe and no money.

I love the brown paper chip bag aspect to this anecdote.
Never met Aswad, but went to see them live a few times. Now that thought brings back some misty-eyed memories. Good times had by all.

A lively tune for Sunday morning.

Sun's going down. Time for a chill-out tune. I think I'll float down the River Perry.

Here's another sundowner from Augustus Pablo and Lee Perry.

And another from Lee Perry.

This song is possibly about a ghost story, possibly not.
Whatever, although credited to Bob Marley, it is actually by the Wailers, with Bob Marley on lead vocals, Peter Tosh on vocal harmony and keyboard, Bunny Livingstone (Bunny Wailer) on vocal harmony and ghostly vocals.
A Lee Perry production.

Losing control of the technology. Video disabled by the owner.

Many legendary tunes lost to the 20 x copied mixtape from yesteryear

a few google phrases for early Jungle via youtube:

AWOL - a way of life
Jungle Fever
Kool FM
ROAST
World Dance
Roller Express
Paradise Club Islington
Dj Randall
Mickey Finn
Kenny Ken
Brockie
Mc Det
Nicky Blackmarket
Mampi Swift
Dr S gachet
Stevie Hyper D

King Tubby was another fine Reggae producer. Here are a couple of his tunes.

A short but sweet dub to finish. Curiously, the beginning sounds something like techno, 12 years before the event.

I like this old version of
You don't love me - Dawn Penn
196o's I think ?
must be 25+ years since i played a real record , good job i stopped too- i used to scratch them silly..
still i miss the therapeutic value of watching them etc

Lenny Kravitz - Fly Away

Rockish but in the ballpark.

^No where near any reggae ball park.

Short on leg, big on tunes.
Half Pint, (Lindon Roberts), comes from an area in West Kingston called Rose Lane, from which came Bob Marley, Dennis Brown, Peter Tosh, Lee Perry, Toots Hibbert and more.
He continues the musical tradition.

You live the life you love
