Horny Organs w/ Undercover

=

The funky instrumental. No one did it better than Coxsone at Studio One thanks to lead musical directors like Jackie Mittoo and Tommy McCook. Mittoo lending his funky organ grooves to a number of specials. And horn cuts, which were fundamental to the early sound also getting special treatment from the likes of Vin Gordon and Tommy McCook, both at Studio One and later Treasure Isle.

  2. Thanks! Always some hidden gems in your selections:

    Just bought a copy of this one on discogs - thanks for introducing this mellow trombone dub/instrumental tune to me:

    Vin Gordon - Seven Eleven

    Never heard this one before. Overlooked hidden gem. Really feeling the trombone playing by Vin Gordon. His Studio One tune "Red Blood" must be one of my all time favorite reggae instrumentals... what a deep magical floating tune...

    This is another Vin Gordon favorite - pure trombone bliss:

    Another long-time favorite which you included in your mix is "hux brown - drugs man"... Another top 100 all time reggae favorite instrumental. Do you know if there are any other versions on this riddim? Sometimes I am wondering if there is a vocal version on that riddim...

    Another favorite and new discovery from your mix:

    the gaytones - gladness

    Thanks!
