Terribly cheesy but great dub and abit of a tune anyway.

[Ladymuck]

I've been thinking about life, the universe, parallel worlds, the moon etc. etc. lately, and this tune popped into my mind:

Cornel campbell - Blue Moon - Lover's Revival

Whilst it's a pretty decent version, it is not the one I remember. The one I recall from my youth was more upbeat and even more beautifully sung (to my mind, anyway). Does anyone know who sang it? I cannot find anything on the net, but I would love to hear it again.

Thanks in advance reggae lovers. x

Hubby came home singing this...only he is tone-deaf and the only way to get him to stop was to dig this up: Back a Yard.

Love this thread Quids.

Yep I have to agree 70s & 80s reggae was the best loved Gregory Issacs

Fecking tune. I've got an amazing dub of that by King Tubby. A real fecking mind warp. Wish I could find it on You Tube.

[Jah Lush]

Listening to the beginning of this King Tubby invents techno in '76.

A total mind warping head blast from King Tubby

Another one from Johnny Clarke for Boxing Day... I love that spinning Trojan label, too!
