haha, you can always tell a boothe tune from a mile away, he had a way of elongating words like in Artibella and Silver Words etc

the stuff with the paragons was great too - Only A Smile, The Tide Is High, Wear You To The Ball etc..he has one of the smoothest voices..

you might be able to help me with a tune ID actually...

there's this garage tune (from back when it was called house and garage) which samples a reggae tune that gooooes 'the train is comin baby, the train is comin now, the train is comin baby and i'm leavin on that train'. i've got the tune in a radio set from... a million years ago and i asked the dj of the set about it and he thinks it's tuff jam, but i asked matt jam and he can't remember cos he's made like 5 trillion tunes... and nobody else has ever heard the song... and i can't find the set right now lol. but anyways the question isssss... who's the vocal? it's NOT the ken boothe version. i've got that, doesn't match. do u know of any others?

datura · Post by **datura** » Thu Jan 17, 2008 11:20 am

i love the pablo far east sound, the guy was a genius..his productions were great too - Jacob Miller, Te Track, Hugh Mundell etc.

The Gladiators - Jah Go Before Us

the gladiators - jah go before us.mp3 - 3.75MB

best reggae tune you'll hear for some time

datura · Post by **datura** » Thu Jan 17, 2008 10:54 pm

the gladiators are great, i've got a few albums of theirs

__________ · Post by **__________** » Thu Jan 17, 2008 10:58 pm

i wanna get that tune on vinyl, only got it on CD

well hard to find for a decent price though. the gladiators' backing singers are just amazing, best backing singers in any music i've ever heard. i can't believe people buy so many bob marley albums when there's ones by the gladiators around

where does everyone buy their reggae vinyl from online? i'm using heavycrates, ebay and reggae.co.uk mainly but i'm sure people know of other good places. specifically for 7" represses and originals, no 12" business for me thanks

delendi · Post by **delendi** » Thu Jan 17, 2008 11:33 pm

7" represses i used to get from dubvendor, but the shop... cos i live in the same city as it! do a google search, see if they have an online shop.

__________ · Post by **__________** » Thu Jan 17, 2008 11:47 pm

nice one delendi you legend.
http://www.dubvendor.co.uk/
7"s for £2.50, 50p cheaper than most places. def gonna rinse this site out

datura · Post by **datura** » Fri Jan 18, 2008 12:18 am

this site is the aladdins cave of reggae..

http://www.ebreggae.com

as delendi said, dub vendor is good too - not ordered from them though personally.

also honest jon's have a good service and sounds of the universe have a good selection of revives etc

and reggae revive - they tend to fish out some og's but quite expensive (more of a collectors shop) http://www.reggaerevive.com/

i still miss Daddy Kools, that was a great little shop, although the main guy who ran it was proper grumpy

who can recommend me some decent reggae/dub

Who is online
