DJ Ridym - Reggae Rockers 15

Hitting you with some sweet rocksteady for my reggae mix this week. We have George Dekker of the Pioneers telling us all about Mr Walker's bad habits and Nora Dean has found a cure for an unfortunate young lad who apparently has barbed wire in his undercrackers. Not that this made much sense at the time nor the fact that the track sold over 13 Million worldwide for which Ms Dean received around £30!

We also got some rare nuggets from The Tennors' in Weather Report and I'm So Proud from Joe Smith which was later covered as a lover rock track by Kofi.

There's more to enjoy so crank up the B-line and let it move you!

Until next time. Jah Bless
