This is ska. Pure, Simple, Timeless, and Brilliant.
So fck off all you smelly old nonces pretending to be 14. And if you are a young one..great.. good luck to you..but don't keep telling us wiser dudes how immature you are. Just enjoy ffs
It's exceedingly rare that a song of such deep clarity can at once be so emotionally humbling and yet has the strength to elevate one's mood to dizzying heights. You have to be one cold mofo to not start bouncing to this beat. I can barely type as I semi-skank in my seat.
The original Pressure Drop was 1969 Beverley's Records (Trojan) (#BEV 5001) produced by Leslie Kong and included on the 1970 LP "Monkey Man" Trojan (#TBL 107). Pressure Drop '72 Trojan ( #TR 7865 ) is kind of Rocksteady and was produced by Chris Blackwell and Warrick Lyn
Hey y'all! You need to hear the version where he has Eric Clapton playing wah-wah guitar. On the same CD is 54-46 with Jeff Beck on guitar. Then there's Gwen Stefani with him on Monkey Man, way cool stuff.
All you young folks, play de music like Ska, Rock Steady and Reggae and enjoy. For us older ones that were teenagers in Jamaica when this music came out, we were so lucky! Irie!
@musicroomwill Good to hear young peoples takin up the old ska/reggae, I've been livin life of reggae and ska sense i was 14, almost 16 now, in the almost two years, cuz of ska and reggae ive never lost faith even through being taken 'away from my family for 6 months, Keep on listenin, its the way to a better life. Peace and blessings! Never live in hypocrisy be true to yourself and others.
@colbicolbiWTF im 15 now just getting into this cos of a couple of skinhead mates now... i was sorta grebby now tbh im more punk with this sliding in... my life really has sorted itself out over the last few months since started listening i have only reggae and TRUE friends to thank for this

crackerwithsoul By you referring to this version as "it's gobshite" we all know, of course, that really you actually mean "IT'S BRILLIANT". This, of course, follows the logic that something that is referred to as, "bad", or "sik", really actually means
There's another version on a 45, b/w "Screwface Underground" (a dub on "Pomp and Pride") that has an altogether different beat and tempo. I unfortunately left it in the jukebox of Eric's Bar in Brooklyn, in about 1974.
seen him just a few days ago(Antwerp Belguim),hes touring the north of Europe now .GO SEE HIM, he's done this one live...GREAT STUFF ....2hours of show,the new james brown ;-)
