anyone know what the backing track is?

iwc62 1 year ago

Mickey simpson was the bomb wicked singer/song writer before his time so was Ruby the heaviest sound i ever heard. A real soundmans sound. jack Ruby was probably the greatest sound ever. forget about the party sets like Stone \love et al. Jack ruby was the original. Does any body have the tape with Gemini in \Ochi where he played Evening News Delroy Wilson??/

stefanmorris1 1 year ago

I must admit it does look suspicious, at 22:00 sec he holds the microphone away from his mouth and jack ruby acts a bit vexed as if to to say to mickey start singing, and doesn't actually start till 26:00 secs. Can't say the tape is out of sync because the the mouth movement matches the words 33:00 secs and so on, but it doesn't matter in any case because everyone knows mickey was a great singer.

iwc62 1 year ago

@iwc62 Your right about him lip syncing, for sure.. 22secs...but thats him singing whether from tape or not, maybe it was pressed in a limited run, id be surprised if it wasn't...

how can i get hold of this dubplate

iwc62 1 year ago

@iwc62

well, since dubplates are special acetate records made for sound systems there will only be one or two physical copies cut specifically for that sound (in this case, Jack Ruby Hi Fi sometime back 30 years ago). if in theory, somehow the record ever came up for sale somewhere, you can bet it would probably have a big price tag on it.

there might be a master tape floating around somewhere that the dubplate was cut off. or it may have been re-recorded over..... we'll probably never know.

@blakbeltjonez thanks for your reply....i'll keep hoping looking for this version.

iwc62 11 months ago

@blakbeltjonez Well as love this version of "good lovin" so much i feel compelled to try at least and do the impossibe and see if i can find out from as many sources as possible where i might obtain a copy of this tune weather it be on slate or on a sound tape if there is one that exists, it would be so nice to get the full length version and would also serve as a tribute to a truly great singer.

This is a dubplate with Mickey Simpson miming for the camera. The original JA 7" on Fox is a completely different mix, as is the UK 12". The organ ( and Mickey's vocal! ) makes this tune but it's only on the slate.

soundz57 2 years ago

I agree, he has to be miming because he is not matching the level of expression in the song. The guy that posted this video said the same thing.

gusandghillie 2 years ago

@soundz57 they should find that slate and produce it on to vinyl and release it, such a briiliant mix better than the others,

iwc62 2 years ago

I have the single "save a little bit for me" on the penthouse label, i think, and it has the date when Mickey was stabbed dec 1993, so that would be about 3 1/2 years after Ruby died.

iwc62 2 years ago

i like this version of the track "give me your love" Mickeys album, but does anyone know the rhythm track or was it as i suspect a Jack Ruby "special" which would be i imagine impossibe to get hold of?

MendrisioHardcore 2 years ago

The tune you mention is "Good Good Loving" by Mickey Simpson. It was issued by Jack Ruby in the early 80's on his Fox label. It is a throw back in the days of Rock Steady and proves the old saying "less is more"

Jack Ruby tune the sound to perfection. When a singer does not have to "cup" the microphone, it means he/she can hear themselves clearly in the dancehall. This is different from stage singing, where you have the monitor in front of you. A lot of sound guys could not do this well, so they over compensated by adding too much reverb. Anyone who used to collect Jack Ruby sound tapes will tell you about the sound audio quality

this is one of my favorite videos, apart from the the fact im a fan of jack ruby and mickey simpson i just love that rhythem track to mickeys good good lovin which on his album is completely different, i guess its just one of rubys dub plates, never the less i wish i could get hold of it. anyway total respect to jack ruby who died in 1989 and mickey simpson who was murderd in 1993, two great talents missed im sure by all true reggae fans.

This tune got released in Jamaica on Fox label and sold only in very specialist shops (whats new?)Then released as a disco in UK with a lousy mix. A real throw back to Rock Steady this, a wonderful piece of music.

tonsils77 3 years ago

Mickey Simpson did work with Jack Ruby sound, so this is probably him, its just him lip syncing over his own track which you can tell by the way he's holding the mic, and how far his mouth is from the mic.

airsoftsniperNYC 3 years ago

Bobby Culture is really an underrated deejay who had a magnificent style! The Tidal Wave album with him Louie Rankin and Nicodemus is a true gem. Also his 12" Health & Strength is a fantastic song.

kalcidis 3 years ago

He's not lip syncing. He's singing over the dub version of the song and the dub begins with a bit of the vocal. So the first few lines of singing are on the recording. Then he takes over. Wicked video. Thanks.
