Amazing how uplifted you feel after listening to a bit of Toots & The Maytals 😊👌

I’ve also been listening to a couple of cracking cover versions of Toots songs by The Clash and The Specials.

Love this live version from the 1979 Concerts for the People of Kampuchea 👌🎯

It has a brilliant punk reggae version of Willie Williams ‘Armagideon Time’ on it; ‘Justice Tonight / Kick It Over’
🎯👌🔥

In 1978 on ‘White Man In Hammersmith Palais’ The Clash foresaw days like today.

In 2025 a change words to “If Mango Mussolini flew in today, they’d send a state carriage anyway” would be spot on! 🤬

A great performance of ‘Hate & War’ by The Clash and a rarely seen cover by them of Desmond Dekker’s ‘The Israelites’.
Recorded for ‘Alright Now’ at Tyne Tees Studios, Newcastle upon Tyne in 1979..

One of the things that’s great about the lyrics to The Clash’s ‘White Man In Hammersmith Palais’ is having a listen to the five artists name checked in it.
‘Midnight to six, man, for the first time from Jamaica.. 🧵

The Ruts 3rd & 4th single releases from 1979; ‘Something That I Said’ and ‘Jah War’. Top tunes with cracking B sides too!
I saw The Ruts play at Newcastle Mayfair in 1979 and they were superb ✊

Interesting and canny B side song ‘Rockers Galore… UK Tour’.

A reworking of Bankrobber with different lyrics and sung by Mikey Dread.

Cracking cover of the great Jimmy Cliff’s brilliant song ‘The Harder They Come’.

What a superb band Joe Strummer had with the Mescaleros.

The barometer dial has fallen a lot today. A pressure drop!

Fantastic cover version of the great Toots & the Maytals song.

Punk reggae vibe continuing for me with Alternative TV’s ‘Life After Life’. Nice dub version on the B side.
Jools Holland features on piano too.
