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.

    • It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️
    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
    • So dangerous!    Can you be more specific about the road this was in and when you report it?  Maybe there’s some CCTV footage available
