This unreleased song is dedicated to the rude boys who surrounded Buster.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAlso included are unreleased takes of Buster's cover of James Carr's soul classic \"Dark End of the Street,\" Ernest Laingrin's \"Come Get Me,\" and Winston Samuels' beautiful rock steady number \"I'm Still Here\" (featuring Larry Marshall on chorus). Enjoy the solid finish, reminiscent of a dub plate.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAlso included are many covers of classic songs that Buster loved. Buster's unique interpretations include James Brown's \"BRING IT UP (CLAP YOUR HAND), \" \"FUNKY JAMAICA,\" a bold arrangement of BEGINNING OF THE END's \"FUNKY NASSAU,\" and THE CLOVERS' \"DON'T YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU SO.\" Lee Perry also makes an appearance on \"CALL ON ME,\" a track with the memorable line, \"SO GET MY NUMBER - 6453708, JUST ASK FOR THE WHUP WHOP MAN!...\" \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe packed album also includes previously unreleased, treasured recordings by Prince Buster and Teddy Chalmers, \"GOT TO BE FREE\" and \"ALL MY LIFE\" (both recorded in 1969), as well as the only Gregory Isaacs recording from Buster Productions, \"DANCING FLOOR,\" and the 1969 release of \"BLACK SOUL,\" a model of skinhead reggae.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eBuster chose a ghetto cemetery, the final resting place of his long-lost rude boys, as his site for his recording. He was a legendary man who never lost his rude boy spirit to the very end.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ROCK-A-SHACKA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45485074972828,"sku":"RSPBLP002","price":43.68,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/image001_1_2b35391e-fbea-4b4f-9d1b-6840cfc0e2c8.png?v=1761729399","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/prince-buster-funky-jamaica","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
