Morwell Unlimited - A.1 Dub


LP recorded 1980 at Channel One
Mixed and produced by Blacka Morwell 

Dillinger - King Pharaoh


Produced by Bunny Lee, engineered by Prince Jammy

Including "Fernando Sancho". A Fernando Sancho is a popular acting yet irritating guy who dwells in holiday places. His job is to be the center of attention, to steal the girl you were pulling, to play your guitar and accidentally damaging it a little, to hang around and joking until you and your friends are fed up with it. By then he disappears into the night on his way to another group of campers.

Prince Alla - The Best Of


Recorded 1980 at Channel One and mixed at King Tubby's

Greetings Kingstonians, the music on this album you will probably know already via the well-known Blood & Fire CD "Only Love Can Conquer (1976-1979). However this post concerns a good rip of the original LP and therefore to me it seemed that this could be quite a gadget of interest to you, and yours also.
