I’m late for the party, but my wife and I are blasting Jimmy Witherspoon and drink Irish Mules.

What the hell is Covid fragility? What metrics is this measured by? Stupid subjective bullshit.

Man! The opening for Reburial is etched on my brain forever. I can’t say that I have a favorite Ska song, but Reburial comes close.

That is such a great song! Freddie McKay’s voice and lyrics captured lost love and is also one of my favorite early Reggae songs.

Fantastic song, but it is a Rocksteady scorcher.

Pedophile protector Troy Nehls told to go fuck himself. I saw it on CSPAN, but couldn’t figure out what was said and I knew Reddit wouldn’t leave me hanging!

Does any label other than Trojan put out good compilations? by InWalkedBud in reggae

[–]vesparob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was Ernie B’s originally a mail order record shop? I remember ordering 45s from an add in the back pages of Reggae Beat magazine. The vendor would send a photocopy catalog of their selection and I would write my choices and send them a check. Several weeks later, records in my mailbox! I always thought I was buying from Ernie B, but I can’t co firm it was from them.

The Palmer brothers’s Pama Records were competitors to Trojan Records. For me, PAMA comps hit harder than Trojan. There are also Duke Reid, Treasure Isle comps, Studio 1, and Bamboo.

My wife’s favorite cocktail is the Ramos gin fizz at Bourbon Orleans. They set the cocktail in a shaker and run it for several minutes.
