Well - I am now 64 years old, this was the first reggae single I bought in 1969 and played the living daylights out of it, I drove my family mad. I STILL LOVE IT and always will - Live on REGGAE.
This was my first reggae single as well. Lent this and The Cats version of Swan Lake (first UK reggae group to have a top50 hit with it) to a friend of my brother. Trouble is, I never saw either one again. But I did manage to get another vinyl copy of Swan Lake last year though.
This was one of the first singles I bought from Woolworths in about 1974 aged 13 .I had to order it in as it was obviously 5 years old by then ..
For me it was a great 60,s reggae vibe, still have the single somewhere,but play it from my phone now
🎶👍
Always reminds me of Chelsea and Didier Drogba.
You could have taken the words from right out of my mouth 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
White, middle-class male from the suburbs-has this bluebeat bullet embedded in his head since '69.
If you're a Jamaican, you'll hear this on the radio every single Sunday evening
876beauty Why ? Are they the only ethnic group that can hear it.
Eric Cox Because a Jamaican radio station (RJR) play this every Sunday evening.
876beauty cuss jamaicans got style ..
If you're from Wolves u hear this all the while in town
+UKGamer what or where is that?
No place I would rather be every other Saturday getting off at Fulham Broadway walking into Stamford Bridge. 💙

To all the CHELSEA FC..fans throughout the World.....BIG UP Yourself. Thank you for keeping this great Jamaican classic so alive and fresh. Whenever my Arsenal Team loose at Stamford Bridge, albeit rarely, this song makes me smile.... No doubt, Jamaicans had a positive impact in West London.
thats why chelsea are the pride of london. 45 bus from brixton sw9 all the way to sw6 home of the blues
robbed off west brom about 15 years ago
Nah,I heard it in the early 70s at the Bridge unless my memory serves me false,admittedly I've taken far too many drugs in my life but I'm pretty sure on this.West and South London embraced Ska from when it was first heard in the capital.
NOI
Brixton South London too, but we didn't have a decent team.
Neither Jamaican, nor English here. Just someone who likes an interesting beat and clever chord arrangements. Had never heard this tune until a few days ago. It's brilliant, and addictive.
Although I'm not Jamaican, in my youth, up to today, I still love listening to favourite tracks, like this one. I could replay them for 24 hours, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, and never tire of hearg them. I believe Jamaicans are some of the most talented singers, musicians, producers, technicians, worldwide. So many great musical artists have come out of Jamaica. So many, in the music industry, worldwide, have been influenced by them.
From the late sixties they used to play this at Stamford Bridge (Chelsea's home games), always reminds me whenever i hear it can transport me back to the games i watched with my dad
thats total bullshit !
Still playing it there now
@@carlstrevett3088 chelsea is a special wankers football club.....
True Tothegame then why you here it’s a Chelsea song
@@casey4735 it will always be jamaican music.... ,, wasnt it chelsea who advocated for the national front = the nonce factory in the 70's & 80's ? therefore it makes absolutely no sense these bummer nonce peado (BNP) 'chelskkki' racists listening to jamaican music...
Classic, timeless, and still playing in 2023. This is what you call music!
I'm 68 , remember it well
Great love It rocks still on 2024 🐱♥️♥️♥️♥️
One day i will be in London, in Stamford Bridge, listening to this song and watch Chelsea, one day!!!
Me toooooo
Listen to it in better places than that 👍💪💪 LUFC 👌

What happened to music?
The good old early days of Trojan reggae.
This is one of my favorite reggae songs ever.
👍
💯👍
It's 2023. Still can't get bored of this tune. Gives me goosebumps and always reminds me of having a kick around with mates and raises a smile.
Good vibes to all!!!
Agreed. ❤
Tuneeeee
Love it. My team, amazing.
I will always dance with this song so good
Just love this music
Nearly 67 yrs old What fun times we had. Am listening to cheer myself up after these past horrific days am watching over in UK from here in Australia where I emigrated to. Am saddened beyond belief.
Thise poor families of wee ones.
But overall am grateful for my ancestors doing what they did for Us to be able to of lived in probably one of best eras ever !
I'll be joining you soon!
Proud owner of original single from 1969!
For real.
Ditto, I inherited from my Pops, on a white label, with a title stamp
Damn👍
I have it too. I bought it from a market stall in about 1981.
@@GoodSoundz13 Trojan used to make a just a few white label demo discs to see how they went down at clubs before they pressed thousands.
First heard this at Wolves ground in early 70s, still loving it today 😎😎😎
AND it's still played at Stamford Bridge! Shivers every time.
robbed off west brom, chelsea have never been original at anything.
Yeah, I remember that being banned at Molineux due to the fans' chant.

I loved this. 1970 we’d head out to the meet our friends at the Sugar Shack in Loughton Essex and stomp & dance to all the Trojan Records hits and Motown. Loved my teenage years ❤🎉
I used to be a lorry driver and used to deliver all around that way .Loughton,Chigwell ,Hainault etc back in the 80's
Happy days 😁🎶
I grew up with this it can't be bettered
My son is 8 and this is his favourite song! His grandparents would be proud as they’re from Jamaica 🇯🇲
Some music just never grows old - still great and always will be.
You can't beat proper reggae. Marvelous
it has been so long since I have heard this one, I stumbled on it by accident!!!. I was 8 years old when this tune hit the airwaves!!.
Hey, you are so right. I was only 11 and it's like a #1 tune for me. Wish I could make it my ring tone on my phone. Even a little piece.
I was so young when u commented this
Still remember this being played at the hawthorns in the early seventies. I don't care who played it first because it's a brilliant tune.
Mark I was a liverpool skinhead in 69 and when I went to the hawthorns the fans were singing the west brom the west brom this was years before chelsea sang it
Geoffrey
Williams liverpool skinhead69
by all accounts it started with Chelsea and your lot with Wolves started about the same time just after them (birmingham evening mail article just before Wolves beat Chelsea 4-1 earlier this season)
I went to the Hawthorns Saturday and it was being belted out by the Baggies supporters
@@geoffreywilliams4266 lol you are absolutely clueless
This song was played at my stepdads funeral. He was a baggies fan, this song always fills me with pride when I listen to it. ❤️ R.I.P Reg I miss you x

Big love to you and your family
It's always a good day when you get to listen to Liquidator
Tune is 50 years old and still fresh as the day it was cut!
71 years later I was reminded of the song which was pretty much copied as “I’ll Take You There” sung by Mavis Staples. This was my intro to Reggae and I LOVED IT! The bass line is hypnotic and it keeps this music alive in my brain.
The original by the deltones is better than Mavis staples version 😁
@@rizzy8445 being a native Brit I’m not sure I have ever heard that version of the song, but will look it up and listen. Thanks for the recommendation.
the bass line was originally copied from alton ellis’s “girl I’ve got a date” which inspired both this track and I’ll take you there
The Staple Singers are wonderful.
Whoa young man pure and absolutely brilliant song
Makes me think a day out by the seaside with fish n chips, ice cream and fairground rides.
That is not a bad idea at all.
And some green stuff.. to make it much more comfortable..😂
zoreto makes me thing of a day full of Tommy guns, pussy, and lots of drugs
Ya man whatever you’re into, it really goes with anything... reminds me of skiing 18” fresh snow last week while listening to liquidator
Reminds me of blowfish!
R.i.p Grandad one of your favorite tunes. Love you always till we meet again xx

Sorry for your loss,that's a beautiful comment you make.
@@johnmoodie7510 yep sure is
I am so sorry I lost my nan in december 2019
Alton Ellis maybe could not afford legal cost to fight the two giants stax.volts and Atlantic record company at that time
And the Bassline played by the late Aston "Family Man Barrett" that inspired the Staples Singers hit "I'll take you there". RIP Familyman. You transformed my life with your astounding creativity and soul.
Did not know this….i always felt I’LL TAKE YOU THERE had a reggae feel
Thanks, I never knew that Raggae inspired R&B music to that level
I got here from a Jackie Jackson page that said he wrote the bass line for an Alton Ellis song called Girl I've Got a Date. Fams is adapting it here but Jackie was the originator.
I once met Harry Johnson in a Balti House on Birmingham's Hagley Road. He was a proper gentleman. His boarding school education was evident in his manner and speech.
Reminds me of the fairground in Brighton in the 70s, this was one of the all time faves playing.
Exactly..Every fairground I went to played this record all the time..
68 years old and I am still infatuated with this melody. As the theme tune to the TV series Death in Paradise it brought all back to me.
It is not the theme song of Death in Paradise, 'You're wondering now' is the theme song. It is featured in the series though. Great song 👍
2022 and I still love this tune as much as I did when I was a kid in the 60s and 70s 😍😍😍
Still got the record when it came out in the late sixty.
Most of my life and I've just discovered this gem through Chelsea fc ahah... sums up london perfectly.
Thats Wolves got so worked up when they beat you 4-1 as they started playing it in 1970
my dad played in a wolves all-stars match the other day (for old wolves players) and this song played! wonderful that i finally found the song
Yes I remember watching the Wolves in 1972 when I went out with a girl from Willenhall called Linda, the fans used to sing to this!
was my mate piercy there ?

2024 still lovin this Tune, since 1964 from the south Yorkshire Republic/Uk
79 skin, proper, Millwall 😂, 62 now, still keep the faith 👍
60skinhead. Brilliant
"I'll Take You There" by the Staple Singer (1972) used this song on the intro. I dedicate this tune the Windrush trail blazers who changed Britain forever.
Actually Stax 'borrowed' the song almost in its entirety for "Take You There'. If you listen to this you'll hear the bass line is the same, the melody played on piano here is done on guitar on TYT. EVen the bridge where Mavis goes, "David, little David Easy here" is on this. Stax admitted they got the 'inspiration' from a song then Stax Pres. Al Bell heard while on vacation n Jamaica. Truth is out. One of Soul Musics finest moments is actually a Jamaican classic
YES TO THE WINDRUSH TRAILBLAZERS.....!!!
Correct!
@@charlesreed6780 so whatcha sayin' is, bruh, it wasn't just me lol. First time I heard the original was in '88, when Hitman Howie Tee/Chubb Rock (who both of Jamaican descent/cousins) sampled this & not knowing for years that this version was the original and not vice versa. I'm like Stax and/or The Staples had to have sto-, er, uh, 'borrowed' this
I learnt something new just now! Wow, I thought the intro sounded like the Staples Singers” I‘ll take you there” I had no idea the Staples Singers weren’t the original. Jamaicans are simply very creative people.
You can never go wrong with a Trojan Records release! Classic reggae summer vibe!
It’s played repeatedly all day long on Saturdays at the bottom of Portobello market… I never get tired listening to this track…
50 years old and it's still f***ing brilliant!
67 and I agree with you!
2021 Reggae, Ska best music ever. I'm white British. Been dancing to this music since I could walk. 58 now. Love it. ❤
One of my all time favourites, living in Reading in the 1960s, this was a floor filler. God I miss those times ❤️
This is the best piece of music ever created.
I wouldn't go that far lool but nice tune
Well,OK, but I'd include Green Onions, as one of the best instrumentals..
Whether I'm down or motivated, I often play this classic, so upbeat that is contagious to the ear & mind, always ending cheer my day. RIP Harry J
I am an American boy from Louisiana and I love this song.
I was 11 yrs old when I heard this song, every evening religiously it would come on the jukebox as soon as I came off the bus to head on home, not to far from the pub, and I still love it. I am over 60 and still love it. It's like my anthem. Just love it, brings back lovely memories. I can hear it over and over.
Why didn’t you just simply download it on iTunes or access via Spotify?
The liquidator is my musical innovator of positive vibes during lockdown - superb tune and timeless all the way!
Not gonna tell you my age but I love this. Never gets old.
Nor me 😊, it’s just plain old good music 😎😎
One of the greatest instrumental ever recorded. 🎼🎶🎵🔊🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
It wasn’t originally an instrumental but I agree ☝️
One of the best tunes ever, was played by fans on the terraces at West Brom when it was in the charts in the late 60s
Way cool inside brother keep on keeping on Rastafari Tucson Arizona Sonoran Desert yes I Africa Ethiopia Addis Ababa Selassie I creation instrumental this is what reggae is about not the words but the beat the Rhythm cut through the bone into the marrow into the bloodstream into the brain I have reggae in my lightest yes I

in the 60s my parents had partys involving hundreds of Nigerians and Jamaican people and this with many more old tunes still got some on original labels
This is a timeless classic - just wonderful! It brings a smile to my face every time.
I love how at 0:48 the organist misses their cue lol.
Have been looking for this song for many years did not know the name. Used to hear it on Kenyan TV in the 80s.
I`m a Chelsea fan so it`s an obvious favourite. I still love it in any case.
@Ed Street who hurt u m8?
@Ed Street wheeey ur club is shite
@Ed Street wolves are shit 17th
I have this brought this way back then still sounds amazing perfect actually still ❤
I've been looking for the name of this since forever. Happy days.
I was a skinhead in the 60,s never hurt a fly,we made most of the reggae artists famous and they loved us,it was all a working class reaction to the student mod types,yes sometimes it got out of hand by a few,but reggae on.bro
Well said mate . Keep on skankin my friend
Nice music when tying up your 16 hole doc martins
Me too , mind you this was always last song at disco (I was 14) we used to go bonkers at each other headbutts and kicking in our docs and rolled up wranglers. Happy memories.
keep it skankin funky king! grew up in 90s skating drinking 40s in Jersey listening to punk / ska / reggae
Roy Nacho those are hooker boots. 10 holes is the way to go
Not Jamaican but I LOVE it! Have for 50 years!
listening to this song every week up the albion will never get old
I searched this beat for years now i have it x
Still love this song,it never gets old.
Spirit of 69 , and it still sounds great , was 15 years old at the time and I thought I was the coolest dude on the planet
You cant go wrong with Jamaican Ska, Rocksteady n Reggae!!
After all these years, I find out this is where the intro & bass line for the Staple Singers, "I Take You There," was taken from...I love this cut too.
jam brown General Public did a great remake of I’ll Take You There
According to David Katz, Family Man played it and Papa Staples flew down and bought it off him. Pay di man farward!
I knew that the moment I heard it.. US and UK music has long been influenced by Ska/Reggae, even the Beatles were doing it!
As a Newcastle fan, listening to this is usually the best part of the trip!
Just keep listening to all these classic tunes. Dont loose your soul in these times.
I've always known this as a Baggies tune. I rather liked it when they played it when Chelsea last visited (from memory) The ground went off!
Tourists just clap and say Chelsea in Stamford Bridge whereas true fans sing the whole song at The Hawthorns. That's the difference!!
@@roskes That's the curse of a club which turned into a global company run by billionaires. I guess there are more glory hunters or Asian tourists than lifelong true supporters at Stamford Bridge. I feel sorry for everyone who was supporting Chelsea before the big investments, same goes to ManCity and ManUnited.
Even if I have to admit that I've been a football tourist in England as well, taking a look at the Hawthorns (and buying a baggies shirt which is still in my wardrobe) and Molineux, finally seeing a match at Bescot Stadium, Walsall, in 2010. But clubs such as Chelsea didn't attract me in the slightest whilst traveling to Britain, I didn't even show any interest in Villa Park when I was in the West Midlands.
It's definitely an Albion tune.
@@ici_marmotte it is nowhere near as bad at stamford bridge as elsewhere in the prem, every match I've been to the stands are always rocking
Fuck off west brom, the Wolves 🐺🐺🐺
Reminds me of my mum she used to smash it to this tune in the blues back in the day, I’m 62 now, takes me back every time.
Even though I'm not even a Chelsea fan on 30th March I can't wait to listen to this at the stadium.
(I'm a BurnleyFC fan)
Hehe, you’re going to be in the away stand. Let’s gooooooo!
@@protectwhatisours6895 I'm on my way to London rn, about 45 mins away😂
2021 and this is still a absolute banger !
This is a rare live video clip of Desmond with his Aces, and his late 60's backing band. They rocked.
Only Jamaicans will get this, but everything about this song gives me Sunday vibes.
1969 was a fantastic year for reggae instrumentals,led by this rhapsody.
When times were good, living was easy and free, and most of the people got along together.
Listening to this at the Hawthorns is unique.
Fuck off west brom,the Wolves
Love this tune boing boing ❤ xxx
What a fantastic arrangement by Jamaicas best musicians and producer.
I always remember hearing this blasting out at the fair ground or feast as we called it back in the 70s, especially when on 'The Waltzer' and at school discos ..

I've always loved this beautiful tune ,ever since my childhood 😊
What an influence reggae music has had on so many different things. The staple singers covered this song on their hit. I'll take you there. Wow amazing! I love it!
SKA came before Reggae & was its influence.
It’s 2021 and this is still being listened to ;-)
reminds me of being a kid in Brixton, South London in the 70s. Happy times
Brixton in the 70s was happy times uhh???????????????????
This was the first single I ever bought aged 13 and I still love it today as a 65 year old grandmother.
The same age you watched man land on the moon. Must have been a blast.
