Jah -


there's a great compilation out there called In Fine Style, which collects a load of the Original Rockers 12" stuff from the seventies. It's out on the Pressure Sounds label. You might already have some of these tracks already, but there is some of the greatest dub I've ever heard on this album (apart from the King Tubby Meets Rockers Uptown LP, of course!).


By the way, did you hear that the Manchester-based Blood and Fire dub and roots re-issue label has closed down?

King Tubby Meets The Rockers Uptown is indeed one of the best dub albums ever.

I have God knows how many dub/reggae records but I hadn't heard that Blood & Fire had closed down which is a terrible shame as they have been re-releasing a lot of the great classic albums and reggae compilations since their inception. By the way wasn't Mick Hucknall of Simply Red (urg!) a major shareholder/owner of the company? Hopefully Trojan or Pressure Sounds can step in there with the re-release of some of those great back catalogues.

Yup - Blood and Fire were indeed backed by Mick Hucknall. It's weird, Mr Simply Red has great taste in music, which only makes it all the more weird why his own stuff was so ... pants.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
