Ive listen to it

an surprise cause i cant seem to find anyting on it, which is odd cause i know most i-roy toasts.

i hear iroy say "musically sounds called megaton"

so i try seach fo a rocksteady beat under that title, i find this

Roland Alphonso - 1000 Tons Of Megaton/Musical Ressurection

Format: 7
Condition: Ex
Label: Blank (JA) Stamped Unity
Producer: Bunny Lee
Riddim: N/A
No. Available: 1

might be that same tune, i really cant say

however i will be seaching still as i tek a liking to it. It sounds lovely, really solid magical rockysteady riddim.

JAH LOVE

many thanks Ranking Trevor;

that 1000 tons of megaton sounds like it may be it..sounds like that horn line could definitely have come from a master such as Roland Alphonso..


i'll keep my ears and eyes out for it!

Much respect,

jaya

hi gents, it's a track for Matador, over a riddim originally voiced by Dennis Brown. that mellifluous brass section sound usually indicates the presence of Tommy McCook.

Hi
yes, utodd is right. The original is Dennis Brown 'Things in life'. If you do a song search in the Archives you will find it. I-Roy song is called 'Problems of life' for Daley.
1000 tons of Megaton is a fast early reggae tune.
Cheers
