Long time no post...my apologies.
To tell you the truth, the original post data is ready since a week ago.
It's this incredible 12', unknown to me until lately :
It's a quite rare record on a quite rare label, ok, but the interest is the singer and group featured on it.
Prince Lincoln is one of my all time favourites and one of the first artists I listened to as a youth after my interest for reggae went broader than Bob Marley alone.
A friend of the family (Cochise, this is dedicated to you!) gave me many tapes of reggae mixes he made. Amongst them many tunes from the "True experience" album from PL & the Royal Rasses.
What a voice, what deep and soulful tunes!
The other interest in this 12 is the label and musicians : MSR stands for Mighty Soul Rebels, a inprint and band quite elusive but well known for hardcore roots fans, the later tune of this post shows why.
And yeah, I forgot, Tommy Mc Cook blow his saxophone as icing on the cake... You may have more of this on the dub side but the one copy I got is quite dirty and the first minute is hard to listen to so I won't share it (maybe one day when I'll own a good professional cleaning machine...).
So, the clash of those elements leads me to why it took so long to post this : I wanted to share more than this fabulous 12' and give you a glimpse of each group other productions.
Then the more known production on the MSR label, from the Mighty Soul Rebels themselves, this roots anthem "Jah Jah is no gimmick" (false dread beware!). This one was repressed by the Archive label 2 years ago I believe but with a poor design in my opinion compared to the original.
So, as usual, click on the "share" link, download the tunes, enjoy and please let me know what you think. I man feel it, do you?
Peace,
Ben
