PRINCE BUSTER'S  EARTHQUAKE ON ORANGE STREET~ ORIGINAL SOUNDCLASH DUBPLATE - VG+

THIS IS A SUPER RARE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE FIND I PURCHASED IN A LARGE COLLECTION OF 1960's  DUBPLATES,

THIS 8" DUBPLATE, HAS RHYTHM, TEMPO AND DEEJAYING  OF A SLIGHT DIFFERENCE FROM THE "OLIVE BLOSSOM" RETAIL RELEASED 7" RECORD.

POSSIBLE REASONS FOR THESE VARIATIONS.

1. STUDIO IN HOUSE TEST CUT DEMO PLATE

2. DUBPLATE BELONGING TO "EARTHQUAKE" BUSTER'S SOUND SYSTEM.

MY 20 PLUS YEARS OF COLLECTING AND SELLING EXPERIENCE HAS ME AT THESE ONLY 2 POSSIBLE CONCLUSIONS, WITHOUT THE SUPPORT OF DOCUMENTATION.

When the first recording outfits were

set up by sound system men such as Prince Buster, their recordings reflected

these heteroglot beginnings; over a chorus of upbeat horns playing a slowed

New Orleans-style shuffle, Buster boasted and cajoled, calling out

challenges to his rivals on Kingston's music row:

Man, stand up and fight if you're right!

Earthquake on Orange Street!

Buster was one of the first sound-system men to go into the recording

studio; while the older DJ's like Duke Reid still valued imported American

R&B singles, Buster and the new generation of producers made their own

records, subtly altering the rhythmic emphasis, flattening the jump beat into

more of a shuffle, and intermixing the 'burru' rhythms of Rasta drummers

like Count Ossie.

The earliest Jamaican-produced records were mostly 'specials' --

discs pressed in very small quantities for the exclusive use of the sound-

system men who had footed the bill for their recording. It was only later that

these records were commercially distributed, mostly through licensing

arrangements that enriched the producers (though not necessarily the

performers). Yet even as these records moved back from the place of

production and were re-marketed for popular consumption, they returned

again as sites for production, through the 'talk-over' or dub records that

were produced from the late sixties onwards; these records featured b-sides

with only the instrumental tracks, b-sides that could in turn be used as the

basis for new recordings, talked-over at system parties or on the radio, or as

the soundtrack by the new school of dub poets such as Linton Kwesi

Johnson. And, while the toasts of the early sound system men had consisted

primarily of topical rhymes or exhortations to the dancers, the lyrics from the

mid-sixties onwards, along with the poetry of the dub poets, voiced social

protest and suffering. By the time ska began to shift over to the more

thoroughly Afro-Caribbean forms of rock-steady and 'reggae,' the music

had become thoroughly identified with the "concrete jungles" and other

impoverished areas of Jamaica.
