Hello!

http://www.talawa.fr/media/roots-reviva ... ka-f-C4iQl

I was just watching the video I linked to above, and I hit me that a lot of these tunes have been reissued on either 7", 10" or 12". I therefore tried to compile a list, out of curiosity, of all the tunes and how they were re-released, but some of the titles and knowledge about possible releases escapes me, so please fill in the blanks if you can and want to. LP and CD releases do not count.

and originally on 'the thing' lable with beautiful art on lable not like the plain black/white colored lable of the repress

if you can lay your hand on the officially released session tape by shaka #9 you will find it very interesting... strictly tunes like iron foenix played on that http://go.to/jahshaka (tapes == #9) unfortunatly you cant listen it on site

just downloaded tape 9.. pretty boring imo... lloyd parks - slaving, jah golden throne, roy dobson - jah children rising, devon irons - ketch vampire etc etc

Thanks for filling in, Vinnie!

You wrote that "Cool It" was released on a 7", are you thinking about the original Precision 7" or are you saying that it was reissued?

I'm very curious about 05, at 11:35. Thought I heard it a while back, but I've completely forgot about the artist and title.

cant discuss colours or tastes ofcourse but the ones you mention are classic roots tunes as the ones featuring on max list thats why this tape 9 could interest him
have some good memories of that one... a turning point in reggae for me

if its not your taste no problem the others are quite different but ruff aswell try jsc 01 digital as most of the others

dont think 'slaving' was played then tho but its tuff im sure he played on some other session

didnt know they were downloadable...
