Comment:
A for the hell of it mix, no wait. for the fun of it mix. Rockers slumming in Kingston looking for the crooked beat. Eventually they come to the real Jamaican Guy, the Master Blaster hisself, doing that Kinky Reggae.

Cool stuff George.
(maybe Joe Strummer said it best:) I was there for two weeks, so how come I never tell
That natty dread drinks at the sheraton hotel?
Now they got the sun, an' they got the palm trees
They got the weed, an' they got the taxis
Whoa, the harder they come, n' the home of ol' bluebeat
Yes I'd stay an' be a tourist but I can't take the gunplay . . .

Very nice.
This does indeed look like fun. And that cover art... Orchid's used that before! (I was trying to figure out where I'd seen it.)
great stuff mostly - could have had Led Zep's d'yer mak'er. Funny, I've been listening to a fair bit of 10cc at the moment - they keep popping up and I had forgotten what a great band they are.
Irie!
Very cool - and a lot of fun too. I have to agree with gobi on the 10cc - I'm very proud of the Best of 10cc record I inherited from my dad :) Love, love, love that Clash / Costello handoff, and of course the Specials pick.
