Have only heard one of his recordings , "Good time rock" produced by Joe Gibbs and released on Amalgamated (UK). A tune called "Mortgage" was also released on Amalgamated, is this as great as "Good time rock"? Is it available on any compilations? thor

Hugh Malcolm was a session drummer, one of the original Upsetters.

Before the Barrett brothers got established as the rhythm section or at the same time?

The original Upsetters line-up was Gladstone Anderson (piano), Hux Brown (guitar), Winston Wright (organ), Jackie Jackson (bass) and Hugh Malcolm or Lloyd Adams (drums). This was the band that recorded the majority of the killer Upsetters instrumentals between 1968-69. When The Upsetters were invited to go on a 6-week tour of England, not all of the band could make it (they were session musicians and didn't record exclusively for Perry) so along came The Hippy Boys: Carlton Barrett (drums), Aston Barrett (bass), Alva Lewis (guitar) and Glen Adams (keyboards). This band became the new Upsetters, the ones that recorded most of the Wailers material with Scratch. Of course, the Barrett brothers joined The Wailers full time in a couple of years.

Good Time Rock is a WICKED vocal tune - sort of an early gospel-reggae scorcher with binghi drums thrown in. Found my copy at Deadly Dragon in NYC about a year ago, nice discovery!
