Apparently 22nd June has been declared Windrush Day, so even though it's not Thursday it's time for a bit Kitchener.

Canibbeans - think I'll get the toast on, Global. I like those tracks!

There was a wee feature on 'Rockers' label last night - nice. Here's the dub 'Keep on Knocking' from Jacob Miller, one of the tunes played. .

Well, that has life and it's great context for anyone who thinks first of the Esso lot.

Not quite sure when this was:

The Clarendonians

Cry Me A River, 2016? - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWOfJaq4t90

This is 1966:

The road may be rough,
But don't you, don't you ever get stuck,
Champs-Élysées, Champs-Élysées, Champs-Élysées,
No need to hurry, (no, no, no, no)

I tried not to post the inevitable Guardian article, but there doesnt seem to be much mainstream coverage elsewhere....

Obviously Trojan themselves have gone big on this anniv...

Sticking with the Trojan 50 theme... a rare long version of Susan Cadogan's hit - only in the UK where it reached the top 5. Boris Gardner prominent on bass, ably backed by the Zap Pow horns. Originally released by Lee 'Scratch' Perrys label but later picked up by Trojan. Appears on their Trojan 50 boxset (which costs £125 with the coffee table book )

Great version, Global. Wonder what the coffee table book'll get used for?

Start of November and the prospect of Day of the Dead approaching, one needs a spot of cheering and I regularly turn to Prince Fatty with his cover of Cypress Hill's 'Insane In The Brain' ft. Horseman - guaranteed to bring a smile to my face. ...which is nice!
