Prime, early-eighties Barrington, expertly fronting chunky Radics on rhythms like The Russians Are Coming and Get In The Groove, in Scientist mixes. No losing with those cards.
Fab Phang chugger. Barrington kills it; grooving dub.
From the Life Style LP, produced by Alvin Ranglin in 1981, where it’s entitled I Hold The Handle. The lyrics re-purpose The Heptones, drawing its male-vs-female venom. Barrington’ superb singing luxuriates in this restrained, mid-tempo setting.
Plus dub.
Ace Barrington, from the Englishman sessions; with a concussive Scientist dub.
Another all-time eighties classic.
A lovely song, over a do-over of Dennis’ Revolution rhythm, with Sly & Robbie in the mix.
Four albums: Barrington Levy, Bounty Hunter; Cocoa Tea, Weh Dem A Go Do; Sound System and Dancehall Rockers, both by Charlie Chaplin. Plus extras.
One of the top, top Barringtons on Jah Life. Heavy Channel One rhythms, each quite different; with banging dubs.
Barrington has a rather general go at his dad, mister One-Foot. ‘You are my father, so give me tings, give me tings.’ ‘You don’t buy me no shoes so I can do the boogaloo.’
