Episode 31: 31 Bigmikeydread Reggae Radio - 78rpm Caribbean Kaiso Cavalcade

Lee Scratch Perry passed away a short while ago and rather than add to the plethora of tributes by so many much better qualified than I to honour him, I held off until now, when I felt I could no longer delay my addition to celebrating the incredible creativity of Jamaica’s most exotic producer and performer. There is something about his utilisation of his own life as an ongoing artistic installation of Words, Sounds and Power that became a major reason for my interest in Jamaican CULTURE.  This show is offered as truly as one ever could be to a LEGEND.The following is not a comprehensive look at his music, from early productions beloved by those proponents of ‘Skinhead Reggae’ to the later Reverb washed mystical meanderings on U-Sound records; instead it’s some of my favourite Perry productions, mainly it has to be said from the era of his Black Art outpourings. You could collect his music for decades and still only be part the way to lifting the surface on his musical output, I’m no expert, but I know what I like!

My personal belief is that there have been two eras of Jamaican music where above all energy has ruled the choices made, the sounds created and the vibes forthcoming, Ska and Ragga/Dancehall of the late 80s/early 90s. To me, Jackie Opel is full of the same energy and force as Cutty Ranks and it’s why Ska remains a firm favourite of mine .. Hope you enjoy this selection…1.

This show is offered in respect of I believe the greatest of all the Jamaican record producers.Not only did he virtually single handedly define the ‘Skinhead’ era of Early Reggae but he excelled in the era of the Golden age of Roots Reggae, a mission seemingly past the capabilities of Coxsone Dodd and Duke Reid, who only re-packed and re-dubbed their earlier output for a new era, fantastic though it was, while Lee produced fresh rhythms and entirely new music.Not only did he encourage the creativity of the greatest of house bands, but he employed the early creative talents of King Tubby, a genre defining artist (in the true meaning of the word) himself. He produced one of the first tunes to be called ‘Reggae’ Bangarang by Max Romeo and Lester Sterling.. he truly was ‘The Gorgon’ a Monster of Music.With thanks to Ken Jones aka Charlie Reggae for the Unity and Gas Singles.

19 Bigmikeydread Reggae Radio Special - Lockdown aka ‘In these Times of Tribulation’.

So in these odd days, when we are being strongly reminded of our mortality, there is something, at least for me, comforting in listening to my old 78 records. I haven’t wanted to listen to much music since this all started, and today, when I finally switched on the Hi-Fi all I wanted to do was play some Crackly Old 78s. They remind me of home, even though I don’t know what or where home is anymore.I’ve tried to mix a flavour of what I like, moody Mambo, Rhythm and Blues in it’s original sense, funky old stuff. Even a Cab Calloway weed smokers anthem, yes they had jazz fags in the 30s and 40s, you weren’t the first, your Great Grandparents weren’t even the first!They’re comforting, like food you’ve always loved. That’s why I haven’t played Reggae for this show, I almost don’t want to spoil ‘the good vibes’, and there’s something natural for me, playing some old tunes. If you don’t normally listen to this kind of thing, I urge you to give it a try. I knows you’se gonna likes it.. Daddy O.See you all on the other side when we have the party!

Even a Cab Calloway weed smokers anthem, yes they had jazz fags in the 30s and 40s, you weren’t the first, your Great Grandparents weren’t even the first! They’re comforting, like food you’ve always loved. That’s why I haven’t played Reggae for this show, I almost don’t want to spoil ‘the good vibes’, and there’s something natural for me, playing some old tunes. If you don’t normally listen to this kind of thing, I urge you to give it a try. I knows you’se gonna likes it.. Daddy O. See you all on the other side when we have the party! In the meantime, perhaps these tunes will help you boogie a little at home. 1. Big Joe Turner - Chains Of Love - Atlantic 2.

Bigmikeydread Reggae Radio Podcast

Anyone who loves Reggae will love the extended mixes that came with the invention of the 12” single, built for remixes and versioning and with the deeper and wider grooves for a heavier BASS they are an ideal way to showcase riddims, the song, the deejay cut and the dub. Here are some of my favourites, without chat, (we chatted so much on the last show), I hope you like the tuneage as much as I do; the show includes the Shaka show stopper Jahovia, an excursion into dub versioning that should get even the most jaded of palates salivating. Jonnie Clarke’s Babylon with it’s biting guitar lick and massive dub is another must.
