Hey there Idrens...
I have a question from a quest-
Quest: I am looking for the name of the artist of two particular tracks that were featured in the "Rockers" film

Specifics: The two songs are played back to back in the scene where Leroy 'Horsemouth' Wallace goes to the club where Jack Ruby is playing records. This is where Leroy 'Horsemouth' Wallace gets his bike stolen.
Its not the Junior Murvin "Police and Thieves" Track -
Its the two songs played just prior to that, when Horsemouth rolls up in his bike to Jack Ruby. Horsemouth hands Jack Ruby another record to play.

Stylistic aspects: The Baselines in both of the songs are wicked fast and the riddims are echoed and sporadic. The singer on both of these tracks (if they are not the same person) is a D.J type

Educated Guesses: It may be Dillinger or Trinity or maybe even Big Youth, at least it sounds like them a lot.

Additional request: If you do know what artist/s that are on these two tracks, would you also happen to know what album or compilations that they are currently available? I've racked my brain trying to find these tracks without success. If you could point I forward in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it. These tracks are killer!
Thank you - One Love!

The track Horsey gives Jack is def Answer me question Version.http://www.roots-archives.com/release/5 ... light=5947 However this would have almost certainly been a dubplate or special, and differs slightly.

the first track of those two are big joe's 'midnight rock, that's the fast take

i believe 'answer me question was a bit slower in tempo
