Posted: Tue Dec 28, 2004 8:06 pm
had anybody any information about this record,the producers or artists involved????
Yep, here it is :
produced and arranged by Sugar Minott & Peter Chemist
recorded at Channel One Studio
released 1988 on the Youth Promotion Label
Track List :
Side A
1.Michael Prophet - watch your words
2.Little John - Josephine
3.Devon Russell - lady lady lady love
4.Hugh Griffiths - hustling in the streets
5.Version
Side B
1.Dickie Ranking - it's like a jungle
2.Skinny Ranking - she clash I
3.Scully Brown - big wheel
4.Peter Black & Willy Waites - night snack
5.Version
Backbone to all the versions is a re-built SlengTeng-Riddim.
Side A has the vocals by some of Sugar Minott's longertime companions from the Youth Promotion Sound System. Side B features some of the "thenyoung" DJs whom Sugar gave a try mostly on 7" records.
The cover art is a typical dancehall session inevitably drawn by the one and only Limonious.
Though this is no roots at all, it's still one of the more entertaining Sleng Teng Version Albums.
