PopTodd Posted September 23, 2010 Author Share Posted September 23, 2010 What do you think of this one? I've been wanting to get a little deeper into the Maytals' discog (after Funky Kingston and In the Dark), but don't really know where to go next.This a good one? Link to post Share on other sites
Synthesizer Patel Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 What do you think of this one? I've been wanting to get a little deeper into the Maytals' discog (after Funky Kingston and In the Dark), but don't really know where to go next.This a good one? Yeah, it's a great album. Easily as good as the those two you've got. I'd suggest you get either this or Monkey Man, and make sure you get the Trojan Reissues, because they've got loads of bonus tracks that are hard to find anywhere else. I mean, if you want i can do you a little mix of the best tracks from them both, if you want to hear what they are like. The only other one I'd say get is Sweet And Dandy, but I haven't got that one myself - it's really hard to get hold of, so if you do see it, grab it! Let me know if you want that mix Link to post Share on other sites

Synthesizer Patel Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Oh, I'll just pick up the albums. That is, unless they are really hard to find/expensive.The Trojan reissues... thanks! actually i just looked for them on amazon, and here ya go . . . monkey man (with bonus tracks)get this one if you're choosing between the two. the bonus tracks have "sweet and dandy", "monkey girl" (which is my fav song they've done), "bam bam", and well actually all the bonus tracks are fantastic. the actual main album is also slightly better than "from the roots" and you do get a few cross-overs of songs, although different versions.from the roots (with bonus tracks)actually both are quite cheap - so get them both! i am sure when these are sold out they'll be a fortune to buy second hand edit. damn sorry that was amazon uk - i forgot you're in america http://www.amazon.com/Monkey-Man-Maytals/dp/B000095J73/ref=sr_1_2?s=gateway&ie=UTF8&qid=1285267594&sr=8-2http://www.amazon.com/Roots-Maytals/dp/B0000TWMH0/ref=sr_1_3?s=gateway&ie=UTF8&qid=1285267662&sr=8-3 Link to post Share on other sites
PopTodd Posted September 23, 2010 Author Share Posted September 23, 2010 Just bought Monkey Man.I'll get From the Roots after my next paycheck (and after my birthday, when I'll probably get some birthday cash)! Thanks for the advice! Link to post Share on other sites
Al.Ducts Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Here is an admission: This is the first time I am listening to this album and it is my first time hearing Televison. woof Link to post Share on other sites
Synthesizer Patel Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Just bought Monkey Man.I'll get From the Roots after my next paycheck (and after my birthday, when I'll probably get some birthday cash)! Thanks for the advice! i'm sure you'll love it. basically, another bit of advice would be anything leslie kong produced is worth getting. i've just found this list online for you: leslie kong productions actually that list is pretty incomplete you've already got jimmy cliff, and probably know desmond dekker and the aces, but the other one i'd say get is best of the wailers forget about what you think bob marley and the wailers sound like, this is before the reggae days. it's a brilliant album edit. also another one to look out for from leslie king is ken boothe. you might find actually getting a compilation of the kong productions of beverley's records might be the way to go, although i don't actually know if any of that is in print either. np.

anthony Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 I cannot stop listening to this EP. I didn't think anything would overtake Mumford and Sons as my record of the year, but this has (and an EP at that!). Link to post Share on other sites
