Not exactly a soundtape or Youthman Promotion recording, but it has Tenor Saw and others from Youthman Promotion (Jackie Knockshot, Little Kirk, and White Mice) putting on a dancehall-style show. For this recording, I will say something about sound quality: as far as live recordings go, it doesn't get much better than this. 1 CD. - 1986: Daddy Shark, Dickie Ranking, Macca P, Pinchers, Lyrics Daddy, Yellowman, Little Worries, Echo Minott, Squiddly Ranking, Jackie Statement, Papa Dimes, Skellion, Screechy.

[25 min] Stage Shows All 1 CD unless I say otherwise Big Youth -12/05/1982 Don's Dub House (2 CD) Dennis Brown - 1990s at Cactus Club, Portmore, JA: Birthday Bash (2 CD) Don Carlos - 2001 Sierra Nevada World Music Festival Heptones - 7/1978 Jarret Park, Mo Bay, JA. Nice show - they cover material from their "Party Time" album as well as their earlier classics. Israel Vibration -1979 My Father's Place, Rosalyn, New York -10/10/1999 12th Street Stage, Washington DC Bob Marley -5/24/1973 Paris Theatre, London -10/31/1973 The Record Plant, Sausalito, CA -6/10/1975 Quiet Knight Club, Chicago -7/10/1975 Boarding House, San Francisco -10/4/1975 Wonder Dream Concert, Kingston -4/26/1976 Boston -5/26/1976 Roxy, Los Angeles (2 CD) -6/24/1976 Stardust Club Exeter, Devon, UK -4/22/1978 One Love Peace Concert, National Stadium, Kingston -6/16/1978 Landover, Maryland -7/7/1978 Rotterdam, Holland (2 CD) -7/16/1978 Portland Oregon -8/5/1978 Jai Alai Frontai, Miami -4/10/1979 Sun Plaza, Osaka -12/2/1979 Civic Auditorium, Santa Cruz (2 CD) -4/19/1980 Salisbury, Zimbabwe -6/12/1980 Dortmund, Germany -6/27/1980 Stadio San Siro, Milan, Italy (2 CD) -7/12/1980 Deeside Leisure Center, Chester, England -9/23/1980 Pittsburgh - the last Bob show. Ever. Lee "Scratch" Perry -9/26/1996 Magique Drac Ouest, Grenoble, France. It's not the same as his Black Ark magic. But it's interesting. Perry delivers bizarre stream-of-consciousness chants, with a few heavy, along with some not-so-nice, backing riddims from his band. Tenor Saw - Sunplash (1985?), alongside Litle Kirk, White Mice, and Jackie Knockshot. Perfect sound quality and a wicked show, too. 1 CD Bunny Wailer -8/23/1987 Reggae Sunsplash, MoBay, Jamaica Radio Broadcasts - 10/1983 David Kingston's Reggae Showcase, CKLN 88.1 FM Toronto: featuring Supercat, Bobby Zarro, Soljie, Screecha Nice. (2 CD) - 1985 Barry G vs Rodigan: Head to Head Clash. Hit tunes, exclusives, and even dubplates made especially for the event, as the two champion radio DJs face off in a friendly clash. This takes place soon after Sleng Teng hit the streets, and there is a lengthy battle of Sleng Teng selections. You'll have to decide for yourself who wins the clash, because they run it close! Cuts into a later Rodigan show where he describes what he and Barry did after the clash, and selects more tunes. (3 CD) - June 1990 Dentist On the Wire: 3 hours of almost strictly Keith Hudson productions (there are also a couple of Keith Hobson productions in the mix), with a varied selection of dubs, DJ shots, and his own unorthodox vocals. Many of these tunes still await reissue. (3 CD) -5/1991 Manasseh Show - Dub Plate Style Part 1. Wicked, wicked show, with some seriously heavy tunes laid down. (1 CD) -10/23/1993 Scratch On the Wire: A night of strictly Lee Perry selections, ranging from his ska days to his fiery Black Ark madness to his more recent material. Highlights include the massive Raphael Green/Dr. Alimantado "Rasta Train" 12" (not the shorter version on Arkology) and an improvised Scratch toast over "Police and Thieves." (3 CD) -4/1994 Capitol Radio/Kiss 100 FM: Ken Booth and Roland Alphonso with David Rodigan. -??? VPRO Radio: Rockers in the Morning Presents Studio One with Mikey Dread.

Extra: 40 minute interview with Alton Ellis and Scully about the early history of the music and Jamaican independence. -6/19/2002: Play That Riddim Mr. Producer Man. Discusses the importance of the producer and the riddim, as well as the period of rocksteady-to-reggae transition and the accompanying development of dub (including a dub lesson at Ariwa from Mad Professor!). Extra: 10 minute interview with Bunny Lee about dubbing with Tubby.
