trio of Stomu Yamash'ta, Masahiko Satoh & Takehisa Kosugi - a dynamite lineup which should probably have resulted in an even greater record than this (but is still an incredible record)
8:30pm
Flash Strap:
love when Kosugi gets that voice sound, whatever he's doing, you hear it on a few of his things
8:32pm
Flash Strap:
*not a trio, I was mistaken, a quartet - the 4th being Hideakira Sakurai (who also did the Lone Wolf & Cub soundtracks, yowza)

Flash Strap:
a survey of the Ire Feeling versions (which can be easily done, at least in part, via the compilation Ire Feeling: Chapter & Verse) shows a genuinely interesting, rich musical progression with meaningful additions, subtractions, substitutions, reincorporations, recursive commentary, interpolations. he was an artist of the version, one of the best foils to King Tubby's mixing
9:12pm
Flash Strap:
Tubby tends to keep a dryer, rubbery sound with Rupie - their dubs together rarely go deep space or jungle swamp & stay in a sort of soul pocket
9:13pm
Flash Strap:
but he does so much within that

this track appearing on a 2019 reissue/comp but not on the actual original record (nor any other release I can find). There are several variations on this riddim (such as The Big M Thing) but none if I recall correctly have this Booker T. interpolated onto it, oddly
