urfd: Little John

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.

In 1985, King Jammy's Super Power restarted with the monster hit ridim "Sleng Teng". 10Kw, the largest output in Jamaica, home-made amps and a Roland tape echo mounted on a rack, and boasted an unparalleled array of hardware. In these days, Indian DJ was exclusive to Killamanjaro. So Super Cat on Jammy’s are so rare, And Of course the dance was deadly NICE!
