Leroy Brown & Mighty Threes 12"

[BMC]

Today I received the new limited edition 12 inches on Education and they're highly recommended imo:

Leroy Brown feat. Clint Eastwood - Color Barrier b/w Leroy Brown feat. Captain Charghand - Gone Gone

&

Mighty Threes - Rasta Business; Rasta Business Dub b/w Mighty Threes - Sata (Version 1); Sata (Version 2)


Pressing and sound quality are superb. Deep bass, clear sound. The tunes are excellent too. Didn't recalled the Mighty Threes as very good, but I really like this 12", especially Rasta Business. For some reason it sounds much better than on the CD-R I have of them. The Leroy Brown is great too, with nice deejay parts. These to me are examples of repress 12's that really are something special and very worthwhile additions to any reggae collection. More like these please.

Also got in three Winro Studio One 12's I didn't have yet and managed to find at Patate online shop, so I now have all 4 of them. I guess it goes without saying that these are lovely records too.

Come Now Sister - Freddie McGregor/Mr Jolly Man - Horace Andy
Happy Man - Gladiators/How Sweet - Tyrone Evans
Just Another Day - J.E.Tafari/Shockers Rock - Skatalites

(already had Mr Bassie - Horace Andy/Unchained - Bob Andy)

It's been a good week for records this week. With the above, the Bunny Lie Lie feat. Lee Van Cliff - Who Cork The Dance 12" and a few brand new LPs I bought on a record fair today for only 5 euro each (for example I-Roy - Touting I Self, Richie Spice - Universal, Junior Byles - Beat Down Babylon, The Best of The Maytones plus one or two more).

Enjoy those records, Marc, you're making me jealous

The Richie Spice album is not as good as his Spice In Your Life set, but then it was his debut and he's improved dramatically since then. But there are some pleasant enough tunes on it and a bit of mild slackness, too...the best tune for me however is the rootsy Bingi Drum.

Touting I Self is a great compilation, don't know the others except the Studio One tunes which I only have on cdr.

Got the Mighty Threes 12" on the way, should be nice but too bad its not extended mixes but separate tracks of vocal and dub...

Cheers Doug. Agree on that Richie Spice record being not as nice (not even close imo) as Spice In Your Life, but it's definitely worth the 5 euro for the few nice tunes that are on it.

Those repress LPs for a fiver are simply great! Another great thing about record fairs, being able to find excellent records for that price! Forgot to mention two other records which I bought there too for the huge sum of 3.50 euro each ;D:

Jah Mali - Treasure Box (Digital B)
Ras Imru Asha / Hughie Izachaar / Steven Wright / Barry Issac - Rastafari Teachings (Reggae On Top)
