Since 50’s the sound systems that sprang up downtown Jamaica have been not only the place to spin 45 and dancing but also the most popular and important hub of great innovation for reggae music and Jamaican culture. Today the excitement of 45 era (not CDJ era) has faded into memory but fortunately countless live recordings remain. Many of them were sold as cassette tapes. Give many thanks and great respect to the original owners, who kindly released their treasures. So now, bigop all massive! URFD post vintage sound tape 70’s - early 2K. For all Jamaican reggae music and sound system lovers. Hope uno enjoy! ONE LOVE.

1998 - Jaro vs Caveman (both side)


 
SOUND: killamanjaro vs Caveman Sound (both side)
DATE: Apr 12. 1998
VENUE: St. Thomas
SELECTOR,MC: killamanjaro / Ricky Trooper
             Caveman Sound / Itermin(?), Military(?)

NOTE:
Caveman's studio located uptown Kingston is not well known to the wider record buying public. This is because his principal business is the "special". Sizzla, Capleton, Yammie Bolo, Luciano and Bushman are all artists who have recorded "special" at Caveman's studio.
Caveman also operates his own sound system, Caveman Sound, the Rastaman sound. Sizzla began his musical career at age 15 as a deejay apprentice on Caveman Sound. So now they show off the tip of the iceberg, buss with exclusive Sizzla, Sizzla & Luciano combination dub, demonstrate the power of cultural sound.
This is one of the most heated clashes of the year thus far.  
When Trooper goes up against the selectors of Caveman and the issue of religion with concious tune comes into play!
