BINGY BUNNY & MORWELLS - Me and Jane - reggae dub roots 12" single

Crucial track from the late Eric Lamont aka Bingy Bunny with his long-time collaborators the Morwells, Maurice Wellington and Louis Davis. This is in fact the b side of this 12" release on the Cha Cha label (the A side being "Keep it in the Family"), but it is a mighty, mighty rhythm, upon which Nicodemus laid down his "Gunman Connection" smash hit. Bingy Bunny was the rhythm guitarist of the revered Roots Radics and they supply a heavyweight backing for this awesome tune. Here it is complete with the deadly dub. 1982 stylee.

" The Morwells were originally formed by Maurice 'Blacka' Wellington and Eric 'Bingy Bunny' Lamont in 1973. Later friend Errol "Flabba" Holt was brought in. During the mid to late 1970's the Morwells released a string of singles on their own "Mor-Well-Esq" label with Bingy Bunny usually singing lead vocals. Their first album "Presenting the Morwells" is a cult classic and its companion dub album "Dub Me" has been reissued by Blood and Fire. The Morwells released a total of four vocal albums: "Presenting the Morwells", "Crab Race", "Cool Runnings", and "Kingston 12 Toughie". During this period Bingy and Flabba were also working in the Kingston studios as session musicians. Bingy on Guitar and Flabba on Bass. The Jamaican studios of the late 1970's were a bee hive of musical creativity. Bingy and Flabba joined forces with Dwight Pickney on guitar, Style Scott on drums and Gladstone Anderson on piano and began laying down tracks for some of the great Jamaican artist of the day; Prince Far I, Bunny Wailer, Gregory Isaacs, The Wailing Souls, Isreal Vibration. Prince Fari called them the "The Arabs" but it was Bunny Wailer who gave them the name that the world would come to know them by: "The Roots Radics." The rest, as they say, is history. Sadly, the world lost Bingy Bunny in 1993. Greatly missed and never forgotten. RIP Bingy Bunny. Fly away home."

Has anyone ever heard a roots group from the early-mid 80's that did a tune with the chorus Daddy Me Hungry. Totally roots. I heard on a cassette a friend recorded in JA from the Barry G show. The name sounded like "Ampek"?. Also the Nicky Hanson? instrumental called "Patricia, Patricia" (BG kept playing this over and over, it was early electro reaggae.) Both are totally uplifting. Thanks
