There is a LP that came out of this..I played it so much I had to get another copy and convert it to CD...nothing better than the 80's DJ...the best era of reggae music IMO
Also love the 'Hot Milk' riddim in part 2, where Josey and King Yellow toast over a cut of Carlton Livingston's '100 Weight of Collie Weed.' I love how all the DJs shut the F up when Carlton starts singing, and Yellowman looks at his watch. Classic video!
This is one of the very best sound system dance videos on Youtube, probably one of the best ever. There is footage from the original tapes coming out on the new Junjo Lawes 'Volcano Rising' DVD this month on VP. Volcano sound ram dance!
Papa Toyan is really rippin on this vid; his voice is way more raw than on any of his 45s or LPs, almost sounds like a rockstone DJ here. MY NEW NAME IS RIBBIT MAN! RIGHT?
@rastudofin Diseases Riddim from the Michigan and Smiley track, also 'Zunguzeng' by Yellowman. Sometimes called Mad Mad Riddim from the Alton Ellis chune.
R.I.P. - Killed my 2 American black niggers in a botched robbery. They blew off half his head, He couldn't even have an open casket funeral. Them mussi think say every Jamaican have weed connections.
Very horrible. He went to Harlem N.Y. to sell some weed to these 2 American dudes. He met them on the street and they tried to rob him in broad daylight. And they shot and killed him. They didn't even know that he was Mr. Cliff the reggae sensation.
Why are you even here if you don't want anyone to ask you questions about claims you make? For your information this is my cousin and if you don't like me asking you questions then don't talk bout weh u nuh know nutten bout.
It's ignorant fools like you who Jamaica need to get rid of. You have no sophistication about yourself and ur first insticnct is to try dis if someone questions the veracity of your statement u made here which is a public forum. U seh u don't know mi, u know everyone else here den? If u don't want no one seh nutten to u don't post nutten more. I can tell ur a lickle punk who if mi evah buck, I woulda plant 5 cross u face an introduce u to respect. Ur nutten but a internet big mout gal.
I don't know. Some people say he was a crackhead (Iv'e heard it before, And where there is smoke there is fire). A lot of Dj's who used to use it but keep it secret. so i don't know how true the story is.
All i know is that he DID sell crack and he was robbed in Harlem in a botched weed robbery.
focken 80s nah man, gwan fi dem yankee's , reagge would be different...him Toyan, Tenor Saw, idk about Ricky Tuff(idk if em dead), Louie Lepke..hmmm. And those where da ones with the UNIQUE voices, wat ya talk....
Yo this is wicked, back in the days everyting thing looks so calm and family like. I love the way the oversized Mampies hold a corner of the dance hall each. CLASS....!
brethren??!!!! this first song on here can anyone help me find out what it is. big up to rankin toyan and volcano sound system "you know a jungu lawes a dread!!!!!!
Volcano and Thompson sound at least are trying to re-release the channel one stuff on 7 and 10 Inch but the mean labels is the UK one "Greensleeves"and "Trojan". Foundation tapes like this i just have to dig i wish there was more videos dance like this recorded
unfortunatley i dont have none like that. its extremley hard to get lui or lee van music for some strange reason.volcano have most of the good music that was produced inside of channel one and they acting like they dont want to sell rights or re release.you may can find some,but most likely you will get it on vynil in an old ass record shop or something becouse the stuff is not in print anymore.or try to get some old gemini or volcano dancehall tapes.
Lee Van Cliff got killed in the midst of making his first album.Never came out,Just 45's. Lui Lepke got killed after he made his first album(out of print).Pappa Toyan got killed after he made his 2 albums.Still in print! Lee Van Cliff was the best of them all!
You don't know what you talking about. Lee Van released two full albums and plenty of 12 and 45s. Lepke also released two full albums and plenty 12 and 45s. Toyan released 10 albums.
where can i find those volcano tracks up here? that music goes along with 45's.lee van never recorded music that was released in the u.s. those were all compiled 45's. not really albums.lee van started working on his first new album which supposed to be distributed by super power in brooklyn when he was shot by a spanish dude in harlem.you are a fool.those so called album were not even in print a year later.those were all compiled 45's dont even call those tracks albums,you idiot!
"Reggae Sunplash" was recorded and released in JA in 1982 when Lee Van was 17. "Rock It To Me Twice" was also recorded and released in JA in 1982. This video you are watching was recorded in 1984.
True! i can remember hearing these cats for the frist time in the early 80's. after that I've wanted to play reggae music, in order to keep that style alive.
I totally disagree with you. I don't think that was something that should have been said. You could have kept that comment 2 yourself. Nicodemus,supercat, Yellowman, Burro Banton, 2 name a few have that style and did not die 2 violence.
On the contrary, that style lasted well into the early 90's courtesy of the 12 Tribe Dances and other Old School Dance showcases @ the Biltmore & Tilden Ballrooms in Brooklyn. True, a lot of these brothers and others that came later lost their lives 2 senseless violence, but as long as WE continue to post, play and comment on their music... their legacy... their style, WILL LAST 4 EVER!! Bless
