bickster Posted July 8 Moderator Share Posted July 8 4 minutes ago, one_ian_taylor said: No, do tell though Well it combines the lyrics of two of the very early reggae singles. Lee Perry used to record for the Joe Gibbs stable and him and Gibbs had a big falling out over… shock … money. Perry left and founded the Upsetter label. His first “solo” single away from Gibbs was People Funny Boy which was generally regarded as the first dis record in reggae and it was also regarded as taking a huge swipe at Gibbs, it was a huge Jamaican hit which supposedly pissed Gibbs off even more, so Gibbs released the answer record in response called People Grudgeful. So the Falls cover takes in the lyrics of both songs tell the story. If you look at the album credits, MES only credited Perry so it is assumed he was taking Perry’s side. So not only does it tell of the way the big sound system owners used to exploit people, it also references the very early reggae records and indeed tells the story of the birth of the legendary Upsetter label 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nor-Cal Villan Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 one of Prince’s finest songs. Love her a capella version of The Who Sell Out. Very impressive body of work, she’s worked with Bill Frissell, Mike Watt, The Decemberists, Beck, et al.
