Pat LOL I have to go down the West Indian store to get my rice and peas the kids say mine suck pmsl mind you my hubby makes a mean Rotti, Did Desmond Dekka sing You Can Get It If You Really Want, do you no wot I am on about LOL. Debs.

My first Reggae LP was a Woman on the front with the biggest Fro I have ever seen with a pink head band I can not think for the life of me who it is and it is driving me nuts LOL. Debs.

Pat who sung Fatty Fatty? you really got me on this now LOL remember Long Shot Kick The Bucket LOL. Debs.

Debs remember that song well Jimmy Cliff wrote it, Desmond had a huge hit with it. It's featured in the film 'THe harder they come' one of my fave films from the 1970's many big reggae tunes in the background of that film but there is a great scene with Toots and the Maytals in the Studio singing 'Sweet & Dandy' wow, even the famous REAL musicians are there. Was that woman wearing anything else besides the headband LOL Maybe it was a close shot of her head? LOL can't you remember anything else, what was on the record? there are a lot of 1969-1973 LP's aimed at the wider audience with women on the covers, big fro's would be almost compulsory. The two biggest labels would have been Trojan and Pama but lots of the big labeks like Philips/fontana Parlophone/Emi even motown were issuing Reggae tunes, The Beatles, Cat Stevens, Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Lee Dorsey, William Bell, even Chubby Checker and many more tried to do the Reggae yuck.LOL. Paul Simon was the only one that could make it because he used Jamaican Musicians in Jamaica. :-))) Give us more to go on and we may be able to work out what the record was Debs. Pat x

Pat she was naked LOL the way she sat you could not see any thing, you know all lady like LOL the back ground was all dark she was skinny and really pretty I think there was purple in the back ground not much to go on eh! one of the songs on it is on the tip of my tong it was not the sort of music they would of played on the radio night clubs only stuff, I don,t why but the song 'Wreck a body' is in my head? Debs.

No Debs that song 'wreck a buddy' was on 'Tighten Up Volume 2' it was a cover with just the middle of a woman her belly area Eric Clapton took that cover of a lovely belly and called it 'Eric Clapton was here' The only other one I can think of is 'Tighten Up Vol 3' there was a poster in that album of a woman with the songs written all over her body LOL that had a purple cover. The classic tracks 'leaving Rome' instrumental and 'Raining In my Heart' Dandy not the Buddy Holly song, completely different thing altogether There was also 'Straighten Up Vol.1. a woman sitting very carefully not to show anything with her arms up holding a glass with one of those bracelets that went into a ring (everyone wanted one in around 1970-1971) Here Debs think we are the same vintage us two LOL. I'm now in my Golden Jubilee LOL Oh dear just saying that makes me feel old. Pat x

Pat yes it was Tighten up Vol 3 am sure of it because Tighten up vol 2 was a pink cover, thats it you got my brain working again, it,s all coming back now LOL I can sleep now thank you LOL. Debs.

Oh Debs sleep well thinking of all those lovely songs behind the cheesy sleeves lol. You didn't answer my question, naughty, yes we are the same vintage, I am convinced of it. Night Debs speak soon. Pat x
