I'm going to check that one out. Laurel Aitken was awesome and nobody's ever done a good anthology of his music.
I've been rediscovering U-Brown a brilliant deejay from the first era of Jamaican deejays. U-Brown was only 15 when he released his first single in Jamaica in the early 70s. He moved to England and worked with Bunny Lee for awhile but pretty much disappeared from the scene. Now at age 52 U-Brown is back and the studio and sounds better than he did in his glory days. I hope he finds an audience this time around. Next to the master U-Roy, nobody toasts better than U-Brown.
