Tapper Zukie is my favourite! Bought MPLA in 1976 and still play it every week.

Yeh, I'm still playing this since early 80s. Think the kids are sick of it. They don't realise what a great education they're getting. Was playing reggae last Xmas morning, which they thought was funny, but had found an old album I thought I had lost. Makes me happy.

Not a great deal, I’ve got a bit of Dillinger on compilation Lp’s, none of Trinity though. Worth listening to?

Gun Fever played earlier was a Trinity song, and Dillenger had Killer Man Jaro out in 76, this music style was a called toasting by the youth and they had great dance moves to it, the local bars along the coast roads had car parks out front and lorries used to pull up outside and shine their headlights on the nearest wall and the Juke Boxes in the bars blasted the tunes out and the kids used to shadow dance outside, and the passing traffic by in the night would toot their horns , the whole scene it was magic. Most of these kids were illiterate but knew the records they wanted to dance to by the labels on the records, so MPLA was identified by 320 which was the time on the Revolutionaries version. The music scene in Jamaica between the early 60,s and the mid 70's was something special all right.
