Vintage Dance (line-in audio)

Black Star – Grange Hill, Westmoreland, December 1984

DepositFiles

SingleTrack
1h 2m 53s



Zuzu, Bruk Back, Earl Cunningham, Anthony Malvo, Papa Iword, Anthony Blackwood
Selector – Smokey Don

“Recorded just after Christmas in 1984, White Squall’s “line in” to the sound captures this fine Black Star session in the Grange Hill area. “Special Request To All Late Night Skankas” announces Bruk Back, who’s in terrific form here. His intelligent lyrics just tumble out in informative pieces like “General Knowledge Part 1 & 2” and “Write Me Lyrics”. There’s a clutch of singers here too and Anthony Malvo rides selector Smokey Don’s Studio One selection with sweetly sung favourites like “Holly Holy” and “I’ll Never Be Lonely” while another Black Star regular Earl Cunningham touches down with “Breaking Up”. White Yankee deejay Papa Iword steps up to the mic for his “Coming In Hot" during Smokey Don’s run of Johnny Osbourne tunes. Unfortunately the tape runs out before Brigadier Jerry makes his entrance, but no matter, because now is time to finally let loose this great session for everyone to enjoy”

I'm sure I paid 50p for mine, the one with the fist clenching barbed wire. In fact, I've probably still got it, and the second one. That may have been 69p?

The Lp still has the original 69p sticker on it [ An Album for the price of a Single, etc]
the next one in the series was 'Beyond the Front Line' ?

 

[daveinprague]

Walk Away From Love - must be Peckings biggest ever seller !?
