Uptown top ranking
Does anyone remember this old tune? (i bet Jules does) It`s brain itching me since days.. It`s from 1978 and John Peel played it alot.....I still love hearing it...
"love is all i bring inna mi khaki suit an ting"  Anyone know what happened to Althea & Donna?  |

The backing track to that Lily Allen tune also sounds like a straight rip of this...

No pop no style, I'm strictly roots as sampled by Pop Will Eat Itself, great track though (the original).

Great tune. If you still want to pick it up it's on the 300% Dynamite compilation on Soul Jazz Records.

Yeah, great tune.
iirc it began life as a jingle on one of the popular roots shows at the time and when it became really popular, Joe Gibbs was brought in to do a full version. Dunno what ever happened to them after that. edit : just remembered the it was Mikey Dread who used it as a jinglea on his show. It was also on a Trojan 12" from a few years back which should be still knocking around http://www.discogs.com/release/300695 ........................... www.1stGeneration.co.uk Last edited by Patrick : 28th July 2006 at 09:53. |
