This radio show has been doing the rounds recently and I thought I'd post it as it's well worth hearing. Supposedly from 1969, a radio show from Jamaica broadcast shortly after the death of Don Drummond.

Desi Rock Rhythm

dancecrasher — Wed, 14 Nov 2007 21:41:47 GMT

This rhythm first appeared around July time but through unofficial channels only, sadly it hasn't had a proper release. It's a great rhythm with some superb cuts on it that really deserve to be heard. that's why we've done this mix. Lutan Fyah - Never Once/Ginja - Damn Those People/Nature - Down With Corruption/Puddy Roots - Jah Soldier/ Step Out feat. Pia - No More Folly/Nah Switch - Love Life/Natty King - The Heat Is On/Teflon - Nuh Progress. If/when these tunes get a proper release buy them. Beware of the MP3 sites that are selling these at the moment though - they're bootleggers.

You can hear this on three rhythms on this mix. Music Field, Grab A Girl and You Don't Care (I'm Shocking...). Delroy Wilson's Live As One (on a Joe Gibbs original) and the Marlene Webber tune both date from around 1971 shorlty before the next chapter of Sir Collins musical career with the establishment of his Sir Collins Music Wheel label.
