TONY WILLIAMS ••shakatak•• Rockers FM - reggae dub wikidub EARLY B

This is a cassette tape I made in 1985 featuring Tony Williams and his Rockers FM show on BBC Radio London Sunday afternoons. I don't know the exact date. It is a real mixture of styles from the computerised Sleng-Teng start with Sugar Minnott through to some tough roots and some soppy lovers. Tony Williams goes all out with the bubbling synth effects and use of echo and is really rather "heavy".

Featuring, at the end, an interview with Early B 'The Doctor'. Music from artists including Al Campbell, Delroy Wilson, Echo Minnott, Bobby Melody, Earl 16, Tony Tuff, Levi Roots, Jimmy Lindsey, Nerious Joseph, The Meditations, Leroy Smart, Cocoa Tea and many more.

I originally uploaded this in a higher resolution 2.6gb (twice) but youtube's processing messed up the sync with video and sound so it didn't make sense so I deleted (annoying!) - don't think it liked the format I made using on old version of imovie. So here is a lower res version which runs okay this time, as I wanted it, and the visuals don't look too bad either, a bit fuzzy maybe, but if one is inebriated, or not wearing their specs then it doesn't really matter :)

A couple of the records jump, but that's more to do with the vinyl and Tony Williams's turntables, rather than the recording. Doesn't mess too much. But overall the sound is pretty crisp for a 28 year old tape transferred over digitally. It's mainly a rootical session, some digi, but there is a sprightly lovers section around the 55 minute mark.

wikidub in the mix.

ENJOY! :)
