They never got it, and what it stood for. The two Tones label said it clearly.Cheers! Same in the early days of the skinhead era .. Ox Blood DMs, Jeans'n'Braces strutting to Prince Buster and Harry J. You would've thought that they might have wised by the time the 2nd coming of ska arrived .. Cheers K.

I have plenty of old Rock steady and Ska albums from those days, new prints from the 80's though. From newer time, "free Nelson Mandela" from the Specials moved away from Ska - means a lot to me. I danced with one of Nelsons daughters once - she is married to a Swazi prince or somewhat I think. Its nice to see people on the board who share my music interests! Cheers!

Lusty Posted August 28, 2004 Report Share Posted August 28, 2004 If anyones got any old Trojan label vinyls in half decent condition I'd think some of them might be worth a few baht now,I would have thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to agree sj, he sings that song with a hell of lot of passion. Well I got Mary pregnant and man that was all she wrote and for my 19th birthday got a union card and a wedding coat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, sometimes I want to write good songs while I am on the bog also SayJann.. I saw that Bruce is getting political now, he went out against Bush. He has been used by both democrats and republicans before - but has come out as anti-Bush now. Good man Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno, you can quite regularly see Trojan releases on Ebay for 2 - 3 quid and Blue Beat stuff a bit more, maybe a fiver or so. Cheers K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sayjann Posted August 29, 2004 Report Share Posted August 29, 2004 he's been political for Years. started when Reagan used 'Born In The USA' as a great advert for the American People. but as usual Reagan fucked up and it took some underling to explain that the song was a protest against American Government policies. Reagan then decided to remove himself from Springsteen after Brucie spoke out against him in various interviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
