smilingirl's reggae podcast

Champion sound

This episode is in response to a friend who said ‘don’t hear much 80’s stuff anymore’. Here by popular demand and special request is a selection of scratchy but catchy 80’s tunes with a little bit of dj (toasting!! Remember that!!) a little bit of dub and a little bit of ragga. I have included the label or album title and the date this time, as I was asked.
So Chris, let’s hope this hits the spot
