― strng hlkngtn: what does it mean? (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 12 October 2005 19:27 (twenty years ago)

did you like it? was it worth it considering you already had the new comp?

― s1ocki (slutsky), Wednesday, 12 October 2005 19:28 (twenty years ago)

well i "borrowed" that one from work to write the review (ah the joys of the shrink wrap machine), so i needed a new one anyway!

There are a couple of good Desmond Dekker comps at the public library in my town.
This one
http://www.townsend-records.co.uk/i/covers/1085568.jpg
has all of the early singles and is just great. But no "Israelites" :(
Apparently there was an early version called "Poor Me Israelites" that the liner notes mention but it is not on the collection.

OKAY I ADMIT IT I STUCK RELIGIOUS TRACTS IN CD'S

― strng hlkngtn: what does it mean? (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 12 October 2005 19:59 (twenty years ago)

i think ddb was thinking more along the lines of shrink-wrapped nards

― s1ocki (slutsky), Wednesday, 12 October 2005 20:02 (twenty years ago)

i mean i hope he was

― s1ocki (slutsky), Wednesday, 12 October 2005 20:02 (twenty years ago)

at one of my first jobs the elderly owner spilled something on his shirt and attempted to dry it with the shrink wrapper, thereby setting himself on fire

― strng hlkngtn: what does it mean? (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 12 October 2005 20:04 (twenty years ago)

please tell me you witnessed that

― s1ocki (slutsky), Wednesday, 12 October 2005 20:06 (twenty years ago)

i was the one who had to put him out!

― strng hlkngtn: what does it mean? (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 12 October 2005 20:07 (twenty years ago)

my old boss used to reheat pizza with the shrink wrapper...in view of customers!
