    Big up, this was a very informative interview with someone who gave a superb account of how things use to be in a succinct concise fashion! . Respect to the Late Stafford Douglas and the equally memorable Mafiatone crew these guys surely brought a vibe in the late70's and the names called were big at the time, Bugsy, Caretaker, Bongotar etc etc RIP to Paddy, Zion Sound also, man who I use to buy records from back in the day. Great days and great memories. Hoopper keep up the Works. Bless.

    Where did you get your Information from, this is not entirely correct. Did you seek permission from family members before doing this.

      You don’t need permission from nobody to require knowledge the bible says seek and ye shall find you will also notice that it’s the ones that know better are the ones that are doing better the greatest thing is to know that doesn’t come from family that comes from having a gift from god who god bless no man curse period
