Love to hear a dub of this maddeningly addictive track, Horace Andy sounding sweet and plaintive as usual.
Reading around a bit, it seems that Dub Specialist's "Chainey Roots" is a dub, but that's on a near impossible to get album. This Sly and the Revolutionaries track seems to be on the same riddim.
Ain't into the band at all but what a drummer - looks like he's doing himself damage, mind. Love the minimal kit.
Whilst we in the UK struggle to deal with the impending loss of US election coverage as the bloody thing finally, actually comes to an end (um, assuming there's no legal action by the loser, anyway), we can read this great article on the process of voting at The Register - The True Confessions of an Election Official.
Like the chairwoman at the ghetto site, for example. I saw her turn away a black girl who clearly could have voted, if she had wanted to go to the effort of doing some extra paperwork. I suspected her motivation was racism, but she outranks me (everyone outranks me, here) so I could not intervene. The Deputies tell me the worst thing I could possibly do is disenfranchise a voter, to turn them away from the polls when they had the right to vote. But that is exactly what she did.
