Black slate Amigo ext. version

[jaymac1310]

I now live in essex, hackney was a bit rough in the 70's but it also had a good spirit. london is now ruined with all these bloody gangs. They all need to listen to reggae and chill out. Everyone takes life too serious now

[jaymac1310]

I grew up in hackney in the 70's and there was a lady who lived in a flat above my mum and dads, she was always having parties till all hours. I remember her playing reggae all night. drove my mum and dad mental....... I was only 11, but i can remember dancing in my bedroom all night. amigo is still shit hot to this day

[pukka63]

[flemwad]

I just phoned my pal, and he answered 'hey AMIGO'..which, in Scotland, isn't usual AT ALL lol..and I started singing this song, which I haven't thought about or heard in years and years....he said I was making it up, so now I will send him this link....anyway...thanks for posting this...what a great, chilled out, happy tune...it's like musical sunshine :)

[PVGS500slow]

There's always the sublime lurking in memories of wonderful songs like this. I was in my mid-20's listening to Black Slate. Love, pure love. A reggae style that conjured up feelings of love, a love that did fly, that was only too aware of its own tenuous existence.

[Nunsweepit421]

Never did have the 12 inch extended version of this great track. Had to make do with the 7 inch 4 minute single. We had a lot of reggae like this back in the late 70's and early 80's, Aswad, Eddy Grant, Bob Marley, Janet Kay, Third World,..such memories of when I was a teenager. What happened to this style of reggae. Did Rap take over what?

[laydeemuff]

wow a blast from the past.

[elisa19498]

as the late 70's and the 80's where the best of 'pop'music, so the reggae from these years where unnegotiable the best of all times.

unforgettable. bring me back memories of my years as a teenager. that time i only listened to reggae music. stiill had all those vinyl lp's and singles.

[cassuntella]

Roots roots!!!! Big up from Seychelles!!!

[justchris48]

Great memories,so many thanx guys-why oh why, was it so much easier for us back in what I call the good days.

Why has it gone so wrong? surely you can help? role models and all that? got to be worth a try! We surely do not want or need riots,looting and the rest-you know we are better than that,cant you help?

All the best and thanx again for the memories.

This has to be the highlight of my night, was so shocked to hear this, wat a tune, makes me think of the days of empire road and no problem, uk reggae in the late 70s and 80,s will never be touched or forgotten

[WARSV]

mean song

[welk2703]

Got the record but dont havea turntable anymore Thanks for memories Saw them perform to in germany It was a great band and music to good to be true

[WARSV]

mean song

[maxou1000065]

it's been a while since i heard this great jam,i got the 12" thak's for posting

[Ytzamrhassusjel]

But he's actually singing "omigo" rather than amigo. He should say ah-MEE-goh. So "omigo migo migo" would be something like "freend eend eend" (instead of friend end end). It's completely ridiculous.

What's more, it seems he says ombligo (navel).

But great song if you can ignore the lyrics.

[gravyson]

For anyone who is interested - Black Slate will be performing live in Cambridge on May 8th 2010 @ Cambridge Snooker Centre Cb1 3EW

Some girls used to have a Ghetto blaster and this was one of tracks they used to play.

[johnjarvo]

Its a Ice Rink in West London. Haven't been there for years, but had many happy memories of it. I believe its still there.
