Tony Tuff - Down In Rome

You might be starting to tell now that I'm a big-time fan of reggae from the early dancehall era - I've got tons that I'd like to share and since time is relatively limited today I figured I'd make it easy on myself and do some more Junjo material. I hope you don't mind... I'm going to share some full album dub this week (if I get the chance)... I've got 3 great dub LPs that I'm gonna space-out so I don't blow through them within a short period of time and hopefully sometime soon I'll present a dub poetry album from Lillian Allen that I was finally able to track down! Well enough about coming attractions...

Tony Tuff, born Winston Morris in 1955, started his career with the African Brothers alongside Sugar Minott and Derrick "Bubbles" Howard. In 1978 the group broke-up, Sugar Minott went on to record for Studio One and Tony Tuff continued on, becoming the lead singer for the Soul Syndicate Band as well as recording various solo projects. In the early 80's he went on to achieve great success with Henry "Junjo" Lawes' Volcano Hi-Power Sound System and recorded a string of hits including "Come Fi Mash It (or "Come We Come Fi Mash It" as the 12" says)," "Nobody But You" and others. Since I'm still without ripping capabilities I've decided to share a couple of his singles produced by Junjo on the Jah Guidance label that I already have on the hard drive...
