Like Bourbon Street in New Orleans, Beale Street in Memphis, 42nd Street in New York or Music Row in Nashville, Orange Street in Kingston, Jamaica is the prototypical 'Music Street'. As indicated by its unofficial name, Beat Street, the area around Orange Street in central Kingston had been a centre for sound system activity since the 1950s. By the 1960s Orange Street itself was the subject of numerous songs - the great Prince Buster's "Shaking Up Orange Street" being merely the most famous [and versioned]. Many producers rented shops in and around Orange Street, including Bunny Lee at number 101, Sir JJ Johnson at number 133, and perhaps most celebrated, Prince Buster's legendary Record Shack at number 127. Sonia Pottinger's pressing plant was also in Orange Street, at the bottom; just around the corner was Randy's Studio, above the shop on North Parade. The area continued as a centre for music into the seventies and beyond, although on a much smaller scale. Prince Buster still operates his shop there, as does Augustus Pablo. Producer Trevor 'Leggo' Douglas was one who came to Music Street in the late seventies, opening Cash & Carry Records at 125 Orange Street, just down the street from Prince Buster; like Buster, he's still there today, running his own studio. Right next door to the Prince was the address that gives title to this compilation; Dudley 'Manzie' Swaby and his then-partner in music the late Leroy 'Bunny' Hollett moved into premises on the music street late in 1975, having previously operated from Manzie's family home in Love Lane nearby. From the House of Music at 129 Beat Street they issued a series of recordings - both in roots style and love songs - that have easily stood the test of time. Most of this music has never been issued outside of Jamaica; this compilation is hopefully the first of several to chronicle Manzie Swaby's underground roots legacy.
Manzie was born in Alston, Clarendon on the 7th August 1953. He moved to Kingston as a young child, attending St Martin's School in Ivy Road, just behind the world-famous Studio One on Brentford Road. The school actually backed on to the yard at the back of the studio, so Manzie was able to witness such stars as Ken Boothe, Alton Ellis, the Cables and the late Jackie Mittoo as they rehearsed or relaxed in time-honoured Jamaican fashion. This early inspiration led to a love of music - "me always love music" says the producer today - that eventually led him to give up his full-time job in favour of record production. Even before that, Manzie used to hang out at the gully-bank in Craig Town; it was there that he met and reasoned with such as the Abbyssinians, and more importantly, Keith 'Junior' Byles, who also used to go there to sing. For Manzie it was a time of " music, revolutionary feelin', an' give t'anks! It was always like an expression, yunno? "
Although not politically active, he was broadly in sympathy with the programme of PNP leader Michael Manley who became Jamaica's Prime Minister following the 1972 election. By the end of 1974 Manzie had decided to leave his secure government job for the precarious world of record production. At home in his yard, singers like Junior Byles and Rupert Reid would gather; with Manzie strumming his acoustic guitar, they all worked on songs together. One of the songs they all used to sing became the first Ja-Man release, Rupert Reid's "See The Dread Deh". The first session at Randy's was soon followed by another, which yielded two singles by deejay Jah Woosh [Neville Beckford] - "She Tek A Set" and "Free Up Mi Ganja".
Although "She Tek A Set" was a minor hit, it wasn't until Manzie began recording Junior Byles that he started to get attention outside Jamaica, particularly on the UK sound system scene of the time. The four tunes were recorded at Randy's with the band Skin Flesh & Bones. Byles had long been recognised for his Upsetter-produced music, including tracks like "Beat Down Babylon", "Da Da" from 1971 and more recent music cut at Black Ark in early 1974, - "The Long Way" and the massively popular "Curly Locks" being two classic titles. His Ja-Man titles were all solid UK sound system favourites, and over two decades later they still fetch high prices on the revival/collector market.
"Remember Me" and "Chant Down Babylon" were distributed in the UK from Lasco's Music Den on Lower Clapton Road in London's East End. The records only carried the title on the label, not the name of the artists, but they sold well for Lasco's. The shop was for a time the leading importer in the UK of Jamaican 'pre-release' 45s; shop owner Bubba was also the exclusive distributor for the first Ja-Man album, by deejay Jah Woosh. During the period on Orange Street, Manzie and Bunny recorded a wide range of vocalists - including Leroy Smart, Ronnie Davis, The Itals, Errol Holt, Freddie McKay, and Hortense Ellis, as well those on this compilation - along with deejays - I Roy, Trinity, his brother Clint Eastwood, Doctor Alimantado and Errol Scorcher all made titles for him. Augustus Pablo cut a melodica instrumental for the label, called "Liberation", which was released in 1976. A solitary dub set was released in 1977, untitled as an album, but with every track bearing a herb-related title.
In 1978 Manzie & Bunny decided to go their separate ways. Bunny started his 'Field Marshall' imprint, releasing music by the Survivors, Brigadier Jerry and Still Cool amongst others. Manzie started his own 'Manzie's' label, isssuing singles and the only Jamaican-released album by the late General Echo, from premises in Slipe Pen Road. He also recorded Rod Taylor and Clint Eastwood, and in 1980 released another dub album ["Kings Dub"].
