Cover version discovery

Also good enough for the Balearic thread…

By no means of the highest quality and even the originals not pleasant but heard this in a mix the other day and I’m a sucker for that Raze beat.

There’s an abundance of great reggae cover versions out there but this one just came on the playlist I was listening to and is an absolute belter.

Love this version, think first heard it on a Paul Murphy mix? I looked for it online and couldn’t find it but found the guy on facebook and messaged him asking where I could buy it. He replied saying it wasn’t for sale anywhere but his parents had funded him to record it and he had some spare copies lying around so would send me one. He sounded v chuffed someone had discovered it! Sure enough, a few days later a signed copy arrived in the post. :grinning:

Wow that’s amazing. I picked up the re-release on a lunchtime shopping spree in 2019 but dont think I had heard it before that. I would much rather have a copy sent from the bloke himself though!

Thanks for reminding me of that Bill Hurst record! Such an oddity but very cool.

Took me two decades to stumble across the orginal LP whilst in Colombia
