Come back Bernard Cribbens and AcidSka all is forgiven....<br /><br />Brilliant blog though, I dont often read every word, you obviously know your stuff Marco... <br /><br />PS What of Lance Percivals calypso recordings of the 50's, that was his "thing", possibly B4 Bernard, I think he even does the odd song in old Brit comedies. Also Johnny Nash recorded lots of stuff for the Argo arm of the US Chess label, "Love Aint Nothin But A Monkey On My Back" has that plodding RnB "Popeye" Riff that so influenced Ska although its release year was 1964 so It wasn't one of them. (Hey Marco I love Jamaican RnB & Shuffle and the records that influenced those tunes any chance of an article?) Totally off subject there, sorry! SO heres more on (maybe) Cod Reggae... What about Chris Farlowe as the Beezers - The Bluebeat 1964(http://youtu.be/xHQEQZr_E9o )<br />and Georgie Fame and the Blue Flames - Bluebeat EP also 64 (http://youtu.be/obFM82DB1ZI )? I expect those tracks were recorded as genuine heartfelt tributes as both musicians played almost all African American based tunes in their early careers, but all the same they are cringworthy in places.
