Stabs 3 Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Last night I decided to have a look through some LPs just to see which ones are making the trip to Australia with me and I came across some old Trojan sounds. I thought I'd give them a bit of a spin and I'm so glad I did! As soon as the first bars of Young Gifted and Black came on I was in heaven! I sat and played though the Tighten Ups and got all my old 45s out too! As I sat on the floor I was taken back to when I was 16 again and by the time I'd finished the first bottle of wine I got to wondering where my tonic suit and brogues were Anybody here a fan of Trojan? The top sounds of last night: Pied Piper - Bob and Marcia Reggae in your Jeggae - Dandy Livingstone Small Axe - Bob Marley Phoenix City - Roland Alphonso Lovers Concerto - don't remember who this one is by, but it's on an album with a bird kneeling down on the front cover - anyone know it?

Wilky 0 Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Lovers concerto - The Toys............................ I think What about The Skatalites or Prince Buster I even used to like Gregory Isaacs once over. A few of my favourites (Not Reggae obviously) are:- Say it isn't so - Betty Boo That's what I want to know - James Carr Music with soul - Pallbearers Stick together - Prince and Princess (cover) Tell her - Dean Parrish (one for the bionic dancers) I could reel em off by the bucket full, but I'd just be showing my age.

Stabs 3 Posted August 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Aye, I've got a good memory Dark End of the Street is my favourite of his. Him and Solomon Burke have got the best soul voices in my opinion. Have you had a look at John Manship's website? some pricey stuff on there hese days :whistle: http://www.raresoulman.co.uk/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Solomon Burke, I once let him sit on my knee, my legs have been f****d ever since, but you're right, big man, big voice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
