The same song...different song, Top Ranking special!

Hello people,

Tonight feature will be about Top Ranking label and antithesis in Tommy Cowan stable.

First comes the very classic little 7' that launched Israel Vibration legend : The same song.

It's an anthem about unity between the various Rasta congregations. Classic lyrics : " oh wether you're an Orthodox, oh whether you're a Bingy natty dread, oh wether your a Bobo, oh whether you're a Twelve Tribes of Israel... we all gonna sing the same song etc".
Every reggae lover knows it so no further introduction, here you have the tune plus the dub titled Jam this jam  (and please excuse some cracks and pops, my copy has seen better days) :



Quite ironically, on the same label came out another tune, well less known, from Devon Irons, titled..."different song".
And the lyrics goes "Each and everyone have a different way of going around, each and everyone sing a different song in a different town..."ah!
Nice 12' on the same imprint with great sax works in the extended part by the one and only Dean Fraser.
Thanks to Greg (Graal recds) for introducing me to this one!


As always, click on the blue link below the label image to DL the tune and if you like it, support the artists an go buy records!

Good news also, it is likely that I will be spinning some records from my crates in the near future in Geneva, Switzerland. I will keep you posted about this and hope to see some of you there if it works!

Peace to you all,

Ben
