Hello Bovine Ska and Rocksteady Friends,
Hope that you all had a wonderful Jamaica Independence Day celebration! We started off this week’s Bovine Ska with two sets of Jamaican rhythm and blues and Alton Ellis and Eddy Perkins 1961 cut for Coxsone’s Worldisc label, “I Know It All.” What followed was our weekly mento set that lyrically takes you to Jamaica and we ended our first hour with a tribute to producer Gussie Clarke, who will be honored with an OD from the Jamaican government in October. Congrats again to Gussie! Our label spotlight this week in on Leon Hyatt’s short-run mid-70s reggae press, Mighty Disc that features great dubs and cuts from Larry Marshall and The Mighty Could Band. This week will be a scorcher so please stay cool where you are. XOXO Generoso and Lily
