Hey, thanks for the link. I've been familiar with most of the backstory, but not all. Have you ever seen him live? If you ever get a chance to, you should.
CBS wouldn't release the single at first. "They said it sounded like all of David Bowie's records played backwards at once." Which suggests how radical roots reggae must still have sounded in the UK Top 20 in 1980.
This sort of surprised me, as there'd been reggae on the charts previously...but then I guess not the heavier dub-style.
Please if you are going to send some well wishes to Minnie and Alex for their upcoming wedding, please please send me those via email by this weekend. I am going to put the keepsake together this weekend so as to make sure I'm not doing that at the last minute before my flight leaves in a couple of weeks. Anything you have to say I'm sure Alex and Minnie will appreciate the sentiments.
