Rhythm Rulers- Mudie's Mood (320 rip)

I'm so down with Harry Mudie. This record is some serious business*! A couple of months back, I'd posted a link to it from youandmeonajamboree. Well, I just up and scored a clean vinyl copy of this Rhythm Rulers LP my own self and have seen fit to immediately put up a slammin' 320 rip. Classic "ish" here, people. Mudie's Mood is so so good!

Listen up:

"Mudie's Mood" is a sweeping instrumental dynamo that demonstrates Mudie's signature string arrangements- otherwise rare in the Jamaican popular music of the day:


Dennis Walk's "The Drifter" is the killer (and authoritative) vocal version of the classic riddim (heard above):


And "Let's Start Again" is a soulful rarity of near-mystical sweetness and perfection:


Plenty more goodies where those came from. Check Lloyd Jone's "Rome" once you've downloaded your own copy...
