urfd: London

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.

1980 - Sir Coxsone and Jah Shaka @ Cubies Club JAH SHAKA LIVE CUBIES "MARSHALL" 1980

SOUND: Sir Coxsone and Jah Shaka

VENUE: Cubies Club, Dalston, London

DATE: Dec.27 1980

NOTE:

In London, when Roots dub Sound would regularly clash with a rubadub sound. Two sounds play together with hard hitting dub plates the respect they had for each other. Listen the competition of the bass line, Shaka's Johny Clarke "Jah Give I The Power" against Coxsone's Clive Hilton's "From Creation"(Lee Perry). Maybe Coxsone won the clash but still Shaka's Ra Imru Asher "Marshall" A WICKED!

RIP The King.
