Here is the last bit of the first series of Podcasts from Upsetter night. Starts with some Bob tunes, Ethiopians, some Harry J, the excellent 12 inch (fast tempo) version of Tosh’s Stop that Train. Lots of good reggae and rocksteady on this one, it is mostly upbeat dancable tunes as I remember there were people on the dancefloor this night so we did not play alot of dub.

Installment number 3 in the continuing Black Ark Rhygin Sound reggae podcast series.

DJ’s on this one are Erin, Shawn and Paul.

This one has some old rocksteady, some Scratch Upsetter tunes, as well as some dub and other nice vocal tracks, the prince buster tune is one of his most outlandish. Because of the slackness of it, I deem this one not safe for work or kid
