[fattyfurlong]

@browningbbw this is cut from a much longer clip on here i think if you search 70"s soundsystem ill look and check you in a bit

[browningbbw]

@fattyfurlong That would be great!!! Waiting to hear from you hopefully.

[etfonetone85]

[cometogrips]

hands down the best piece of footage i've ever seen in my life.....

[masterknowledge]

I dance exactly like that, the master skanker is last guy, him was baddie than nuff rasta and skankers, i know i can still rave as bad as any rasta nuff respect to the don of skanking, Bear know who i am talking about

[rootsmacca]

Trevor Phillips hosted BOTH 'Skin' and 'Black on Black' (hence the confusion). I think the clip is in Noriek but the last time I was there was 1979/80 so I can't quite remember. The clip apparently comes from the programme SKIN, first aired in the late 70's on ITV. I'm using my 'links' to get a copy for Youtubers! Stay tuned!!

[rankin79]

that tune is not actually the tune playing in the dance its been dubbed over the actual tune playing on the original program was row fisherman row junior delgado and near the end of the program was a tune called walls of jericho fredie mcgregor

[Jaymarlo]

rankin79, you are CORRECT about the tunes being played BUT the program was called 'Skin' which was presented by Trevor Phillips in 1982. PLUS this session was actually in 'Club Norwick' in 1980

[bad901]

wa ya chat bout

[rankin79]

its from a program called black to black which aired in 1978 on channel 4

[RedJellyable]

@rankin79 i dont think so as channel 4 didnt air untill 1982,also watch babylon the film the people on the film are the same ones on this.

@0:12 the bass is already well fat and it sounds like a normal disco, then @0:26 the bass just gets crazy. I can just imagine being there and getting punched in the gut by that crazy ass sound system.

Btw, the man @0:32 knows how to do the cripple man skank. Sssssserious!

It just goes to show you when you go to a Shaka dance it's really more of a religious experience- Big Ups to Jah Shaka!!!

[midimaster]

Damn, nobody can deliver like Jah Shaka. Amazing selector.

[chronicblack]

I'm sure I saw the clip on TV (ITV) many many years ago, does anybody know the name of the programme??

[screwface72]

"Yeah programme was called SKIN, every sunday afternoon back in the seventies.

Bless Up!

[rockzsteady]

thia is so cool,madd bass

[j4mbs]

does anyone know what song this is?

[bloowave]

sure do its SLAVE DRIVER by DENNIS BROWN . shaka is playing the version called DUB DRIVER on the flip . it had a uk release on laser records 1979. it turns up on ebay from time to time for about a tenner, it might be on a dennis comp cd ..look for laser though cos theres thousands of dennis brown comps. also bob marley wrote the lyrics ..hope this helps ya out

[j4mbs]

awesome, thanks!

[dubitnattyroots]

"Dub Driver" is only available on the 12 inch, which is hard to find. But the version Shaka is playing here is widely available on CD. The track is called "Shaka The Warrior", and the album is "House of Deb" by The Deb Players (great album! all in this style).

I think the vocal cut "Slave Driver" is also not hard to find.

[SandokanIntl]

@dubitnattyroots I got a 1999 repress of Slave Driver on 7" (Emmanuel Music) which contains a very similar sounding version of that tune on the flip side.

[SamBurdge]

@dubitnattyroots

It's been re-issued on 7" in the last few years - both vocal & dub

[julianman07]
