This is superb. Thanks for this labor of love!

[hotmilk]

cheers man, appreciate it. i'm not always in the mood for the dark and moody roots, sometimes i go for the "upbeat" roots, of which this has a healthy dose.

That is a serious selection. What's the story on "Mo Bay Special" by Jah Massa? Sounds like a Black Ark track, and I would love to hear the vocal version (a cover of Buffalo Springfield's "For What It's Worth".

[hotmilk]

yes definitely an ark track. the vocal is be the tidals, i think called 'watch this sound' but not sure. saw a copy of it floating about not too long ago, though it seems this massa cut is easier to be a hold of (and to me is the one to own, more of a mix on this cut.) supposedly the hawks and michael rose cuts were also recorded at black ark but the jah massa tune is the only one that sounds like scratch is at the controls (or at least spent any time on a mix.)

Had a little listen to your podcast and recognise some of these 7's maybe just by coincidence. I ripped and shared Mo Bay Special a while back now and fail to find any Black Ark connection, it may have been produced by Harold Butler?? as we all know info is always a little sketchy at the best of times.

[hotmilk]

hey ricky, harold butler, interesting. never heard that before, i think it has a pretty distinct ark sound with some of the phasing. about sharing, i assure you these are from me record boxes. actually have two copies of the jah massa 45, one is a little mashed and one has a crack (the cracked copy is on the mix, don't *think* it's audible). not having any luck with getting a flaw-free copy of that one, so it goes.
