This video brings back great memories. 1981 being a teenager getting ready to go out on a Saturday night while listening to Rodigan between 10pm and Midnight. Then go out (even walk/ trod sometimes with friends) to dances or parties in the south London area. Be obsessed with DJs like Ranking Joe, Yellowman, General Echo, Nicodemus, Lone Ranger, Trinity etc, spend most Saturday afternoons in the record shop and get many cassette tapes from sound systems like Jack Ruby, Gemini, Sturgav, Virgo etc. Of course, there was crime, but I don't think it was as much as nowadays because we were having fun with music, girls and sport which looking back kept me and many others out of trouble. Now I have a grey beard, but I still have the original music vibes and classic some vinyl 7"singles by Dennis Brown, Freddie McGregor, Gregory Issacs, Johnny Osbourne and others.
Is it me.back in them day we were all 6ft tall slim and healthy we were picking up speaker boxes power amplifiers record boxes it was like going to the gym it keep us fit I was a box boy get paid £3💪💪💪💪😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Brixton was abetter place dem days
The youths in the UK certainly played an important role in carrying on the roots reggae music…
A massive part changed the culture of generations who came after and not to mention the English too
I will never forget this era! 2023 & I still live it, breathe it, eat & sleep this music and can not go without my Sunday dinner ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Shit just ain't the same without these don’s, ma brothers around like one time! Thank you to all these kings & general who made our youth a memorable one! Full of fun and good times! Although every Saturday and Sunday I was woken up from 6 in the morning because it was domino night. We had to set up the home, clean and cook fi di whole squad I use to love but hate it because I wanted to go about my business. Now, I appreciate every single moment. My children are some real roots and reggae yutes. Today they understand it all you would think they were born dem time deh. Lolz. Much love and appreciation! Have to share this with ma old school head goodies❤️❤️❤️❤️🎵🎶
@Cabwebsound! Roots rock reggae will never dies, Jah bless all jamaica sound system federation.
Those were the days when tings were nice.
Big up to all, Blacker, Napps and festus. From Bristol !👨🏾🎓
Used to watch the houses of joy being loaded into the Clarendon hotel Hammersmith as a kid ,we used to call the boxes wordrobes 😂🇬🇧🍀🇮🇪
Original sound system dancehall..Real tings..the good ol'days. Glad I'm old enough to have experienced it. Those old enough knows the vybz. Big up yourself for the upload.💯👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👊🏿
Some of those dubs will be priceless!
3:00 young Levi Roots
Simply wondrous insight into the yesteryear of this exquisite culture called sound system…..many thanks for posting
"Rocks and Mountains" on 2 different dubplate... let alone shaka with the "give I the power" at the end of the hall footage... massive cuts that night. This is a history lesson for us dub seekers.
Fantastic upload, thank you
Thank you so much ❤.
When I woke up this morning I never imagined I’d be watching this 👍🏿.
I was a child these times but I fed off the vibes of my elders.
You guys and more of your generation taught future generations how to drop music.
Like many things from our people that have been imitated by other cultures, the recipients haven’t a clue about its origins✊🏿.
Lots of time and effort by Molly to get it to this level it was recorded on beta max which dont exist anymore lol 😆
Amazing doc !!!! Shaka Bass caused an earthquake throughout London !!!!
Great video, the good old days, chest thumping bass
great film and superb devotees of the art of amplification! Best music there is, thanks for posting this.
I have to say, (Rest Well) Jah Shaka, DJ Freddy Bigfoot, Mikey Dread - 'Dread At The Controls in Jamaica (JBC). And not forgetting DJ Sil.
Much LOVE.❤️💛💚🎤🎤🎤✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
This is historic!! Bless up for this!!
Love to the history!
Respect king. I left the UK in December of 80, so this really bring back memories. I've been waiting to see the full clear copy for years.
Excellent documentary
Just for the future and the storyteller of all levels music is the best key to life keep it real 💯 👌 ✨️ ✨️ 🙏 ✨️
I remember Sir Coxsone Sound in London Town late 1970s. It was a fantastic time. Big bins blasting out the sounds from dub plates. Version excursions. DJs on the mics. The 1970s and the 1980s were halcyon days. Singers and Players. There was a lot of soul in the sounds. When it became too digitised the music lost its way..
Crucial and historic documentary.
Wow in brought on dvd from dub vendor back in “07 and have seen many times on you tube, this version must be the uncut cause there’s so much in this version then the released version.
Bless up Blacka dread for the upload ❤️💛💚
One of the wickedest reggae doc I’ve ever seen from UK 🇬🇧 look how young Mr rodigan looks
This is not a dis to new modern systems... but something got lost in how they sound. Now most new systems sound like a pa system, not a soundsystem. Small details like when Lloyd Coxone talks about all the wires being strung up that you would see going to the box's, all that created atmosphere. I find standing next to a modern stack punishing, not because the bass is too heavy, but because they work the low mid and kick bins too hard. I don't want to be kicked by that frequency because its tiring. Give me low deep, heavy bass, a gap, then your mid an ting. These are subtle things that together make a big difference. When the music hits, i don't want to feel no pain.
Well said it's true 💯💯💯
To provide a lickle context to what your saying here, new sound have lost the essence and rely too much on pre-existing hardware from manufacturers.
I also see new sound using DSP and whilst the sound is clean, it's void of any character which is the uniqueness of old sounds. Old sounds use what they could get their hands on, often times the choice of wood for the speaker boxes, the design, the woofer, horns etc they weren't matched pairs and it wasn't an exact science. You used what you could get and what made each sound unique was all these small nuances.
@@EBSELPROAUDIO true 👍. Basically many younger sounds didn't really get a chance to hear the original systems. Sure they love reggae but come from a pa based experience. So they don't know that a pre amp can and should be used like a musical instrument in its own right. In fact, the uniqueness of the pre is often negated by "corrected" by an lms. They tend to "set" the pre and leave it. I loved the way old systems differed. Thats been lost now and everyone sounds the same.
Except for my lovely valve driven system. And that threatens likkle sound bwoys.....
@@melodysouljahrootsdubpress5539 Respek! valve is high voltage ⚡ Do you use a valve pre amp? If so what type of tubes do you use, as each set of tubes sound different.
Oldschool valve amps🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊
Where is Bunny Reds nowadays? Does anybody know?
All the old time sound men have been on the internet to tell their story but no Young Lion stories, strange. Anybody remember that Barrington Levy dubplate they rinsed in the clash with Saxon??
Bwoy.... Memories 😊😊
Dj Country looks like Mr Reggae Reggae Sauce!
Levi Roots??
It is him
I think it is

Coxsone used to be at ': Colombo's on Carnaby street 1977 -79?.. and ' Festus ';was the I never new Blackka ... I first saw him in a documentary about the Brixton riot's..
Sound Business! ⚡⚡⚡
Original 👑⭐️🔥🖤
I wonder what happened to Young Lion Sound, they had potential...
They don't play out anymore but they are still around
@@blackerdreadmusic Thanks for the response...I left England as a youth in 1981 so I missed out on hearing a lot of English sounds. Later, I would get my hands on cassettes like Coxsone, Saxon, Young Lion, Unity, Volcano Express, JamDown Rockers...I even joined a sound over here in the US, but it didn't last long😂
A so long dem a use the word " wicked" to described the realness of something.
Seeing the wiring above peoples heads lol . Now that takes me way back 52:16 secs
Yes those were the days innocence and freedom
Wicked

Roddiroddiroddi-gangangan
Is there any chance someone has an ID of the track @40:29? Big tune!
The track is by Ranking Dread title Echo dead
18:54 - which unit is that, labeled "AUDIO" ??
This is wicked…What’s the name of the tune at 19:09…hard
Max Romeo melt away
Wicked indeed! Unfortunately the dub version we are hearing is an original dub worked by FESTUS himself. If you buy the Max 12" This version will not be on it since it is exclusive and never released. Festus is a PURE GENIUS. I would dare say he was better than Jammy's and The SCIENTIST because he knew how to transition the musical instruments better on the fly creating a natural vibe..... which Jammy's and Scientist were not as good at. If you listen to how RAW Festus version is and the style and art, you can really hear the diffeence. A lot of those Original Coxsone dubs would make a fortune if they were pressed up and released today!!!!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 tune are 46:40 please?
@iainhale8576 respect my brother 👊🏾
19:00 can somebody please tell what this rhythm is.
MELT AWAY. - Max Romeo.
@@countrobbie3712 Thank you very much, good grief what a bassline, and those delayed horns,
what is that original tune sir coxsone is using at 18:58 ?
