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.

NOTE:
Brigadier Jerry, given name is Robert Russell, is an older brother of Sister Nancy. He came to prominence in the 1980s on sound system Jah Love Muzik. His classic tune call "JahLoveMusic" is a celebration of the power and importance of music, particularly the Rub-a-Dub sound that JahLoveMusic represents. The song emphasizes that Jahlovemuzik is the best sound, far superior to all other sounds that are likened to "mickey mouse". The lyrics suggest that the Rub-a-Dub sound is able to bring people of all colors and backgrounds together, uniting them in dance and song.
This time he opened a Rub-a-Dub master class in NYC. The "teacher" is indeed  "daddy" U-Roy, with many  U-Roy's greatest student; a stable which includes Josie Wales, Charlie Chaplin, Rankin Joe, Sister Carol and Early B.
Many fantastic combination appear there. Sister Carol declares in high spirits. "Jamaican people dem ever fearless. Jamaican people dem ever well dress.  Jamaican people dem have high chess.  The majority of dem of a God interest. Dem cultural, natural, , original, innovative, creative, progressive,  dialectic, dull mind it!"
Nuff vibes. Best quality sound. Must listen!
