Special feature tonight, a quick post for this extra classic roots party tune, inna early eighties style.
The tune came out in 1980 on the Jah Life label in JA and on the quite new Greensleeves label in the UK (ref as GRED 41 in the label's catalog). It is also featured on "Chip in" LP, which you should find as a reissue.
It's a soundman tune about the enjoyment of being in the dancehall to enjoy the music and have a nice time with your lady : "It was a saturday night jamboree, you should have seen I with I queen...I just smoke up my splif and feel so irie". Prescription : play it LOUD!
My copy is a "blank" and should be the JA version as it features a DJ lick by Silver Fox on the B side (not featured here, it will be another time). UK version features another song on B side ("Got to be sure").
The riddim is nice and slow but still jumpy (eighties I said!) with that special keyboard sound that goes through your head, you'll know what I mean... The 12' format is perfect to enjoy the sharp mix and dubwise treatment.
Hope you like it, this one is dedicated to my little sis' Marion who surely did ;-)
See you soon for more roots vibes,
PEACE!
Ben
