At The Dance (Greenwich Farm)
Cornell Campbell – Dance In A Greenwich Farm Clocktower Records – CT714 Vinyl, 7", 45 RPM, Single, US, 1975 info Quick post of another Jamaican favorite. Maybe a little more upbeat than my usual reggae picks, it seemed perfect for the beautiful weather earlier today. Hopefully people get a little peace and time away from work and the struggles of the world for Labor Day... and hopefully that provides some time to play this loud and enjoy. Cornell Campbell tells the story of a dance in the Greenwich Farm neighborhood. The dreads are there to rub a dub, listening to latest sounds booming from King Tubby's sound system... but everyone has to worry about police busting up the dance and the baldheads are there to wreck the party. The song takes you back to the time of the foundation sound systems... If you're interested, the sound quality isn't perfect, but you can hear a tape of a 1975 session by Tubby's sound with the legendary U-Roy on the mic that someone has posted...
