Absolutely amazing – thank you!
Very nice opportunity to sample the session for those of us who weren’t able to be there. Many thanks Tim!
WHAT!!!!!! amazing keep ’em coming!
great !! any chance to know the title of that killing rocksteady track beginning at the 22th minute of the 4th part ?? I just love it ! Sounds like “the Ethiopians” but i’m not sure…
Hi Mateo
That tune is Buss You Mouth (AKA Contention) by the Ethiopians.
Tim

I wish we had this kind of sound on the west coast of Canada. Is there any way that this latest tighten up session could be posted for download, cause the older sessions are such great listening material. Thanks very much.

Still listen to those mix very often, I love them ! Have a question about 1 track. The last one from the part 2, I understand it’s announced as “the Renegade” from “the Zodiacs” but after a search it appears that this track is in fact some ska… Can u please, please (please !) tell me the good band and title of that sweet old reggae melody. Thx you !
Hi Mateo
It is the Zodiacs, this rocksteady cut is a Merritone production and as far as I know only came on a blank. It’s usually called Renegade but Roots Knotty Roots calls it Walk On By. It’s on youtube:

Thanks
Tim
Just bought a repress of the Zodiacs tune, on wirl, from enthucol on ebay.
Hello, hope i’m not boring asking for another of those great tunes, but what is the one at 25:40 on the part. 2 ? looks like Toots & the Maytals but can’t find something related on the web… Thanks a lot !!
Hi Matteo
Your correct it’s the Maytals. Tune is called She’s My Scorcher.
All the best
Tim
Thanks Tim, you rock !
