Keeping it inna DJ fashion for this Thursday we've got one from the man Johnny Ringo. This one is called "Frankinstine" and comes from a 1979 7" on the Please Be True riddim and released on the Greedy Puppy label.
Ringo, who's real name was Bradley Miller, was born in 1961 in Kingston Jamaica and died July 2, 2005. The story goes that Johnny Ringo was working in a record shop in the late 70's where he met Welton Irie, another DJ breaking into the scene around the same time, and the two formed an association that carried them throughout the heyday of the rub-a-dub era. Both Ringo and Irie were heavily influenced by the style of the often under appreciated Ranking Trevor and they modeled some of their styles of phrasing and delivery after him.

zShare seems to be having a hard time giving this one up for me. It also took a few days to let Track 11 go. Could you maybe re-post at another file-sharing site [e.g. SendSpace, like Track 13] so I can have a listen.
Fangs a lot !!
