King Tubby – King At The Control

I'm still here.

This is what I'm listening to today. It seems sufficently obscure/out of print to post. So here you go.

Solid Dub. Sorry it isn't Post Punk or Industrial.

The Clarendonians - Walking Up A One Way Street (1972)

Willie Tee's original version is one of my all time faves, but it's such a great song that the Clarendonians do the Earl King penned song justice.

1969

Lorenzo "Laurel" Aitken (22 April 1927 – 17 July 2005) was a Cuban-Jamaican singer and one of the pioneers of ska music. He is often referred to as the "Godfather of Ska".

Born in Cuba of mixed Cuban and Jamaican descent, Aitken and his family settled in Jamaica in 1938. After an early career working for the Jamaican Tourist Board singing mento songs for visitors arriving at Kingston Harbour, he became a popular nightclub entertainer. His first recordings in the late 1950s were mento tunes such as "Nebuchnezer", "Sweet Chariot" (aka the gospel classic "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot") and "Baba Kill Me Goat". Aitken's 1958 single "Boogie in My Bones"/"Little Sheila" was one of the first records produced by Chris Blackwell and the first Jamaican popular music record to be released in the United Kingdom.
