A quick one tonight, one tune I love from a great early eighties album.
This tune is very representative of what I think is a specific kinda thematic you will find in reggae music : a song that celebrates reggae music itself, or a substyle of it, or the feelings this music inspires.
Splash it out (see here : ...) was a celebration of the dancehall parties you found at that time, this one is about reggae spreading all over the world, a style of music finally enjoyed everywhere.
There are quite a few tunes about that topic (Reggae exprence from the Adoms treo for example).
The title of tonights feature is explicit, it's a tune from Delton Screechie's Suffering in the ghetto LP called Reggae gone int
The LP was issued in 1982 as Moa Ambessa MALP 002, a very young label at that time.
The lyrics are not complicated or very interesting but the mix is crazy stuff, the engineer should had fun on the console doing this one !
Hope you like it, please play this one loud with lots of bass.
More to come soon,
Peace,
Ben
