Johnny Osbourne

[hipipol]

Shit quality but great dune, well I've annoyed load of neighbours with it on the decks loik.......

 

[ringo]

Shit live performer mind, make Pinchers look a proper crowd pleaser.........nuff said
even tho the only good track on his Studio 1 album Truths and Rights is the title song, he is nonetheless a Top Singy Geezer loik

What?

I've only seen him once but he was straight out of the top drawer. Truths & Rights is a killer LP too. I guess you're not interested in seeing him next year performing the whole LP then

 

[stethoscope]

Wut?! Truth & Rights is an amazing album!

 

[hipipol]

like the guy, but I was obsessed with Gregory - if you ever saw him, backed by the Radics, well sorry guys, but Johnny was deffo tier two as a live performer
Yet still,

I have problems with the word amazing
Its good, well made and by Studio One standards of a remarkable sonic quality - thank Jackie Mittoo or Pablov Black for that, Coxsone didn't touch the mixing desk by the time it was made

 

[hipipol]

Even the rewind tune is based on a well known historical precedent

the J Osborne tune, sell that no probs
The Duke Morgan
Not possible

I loved Gregory, but one time I saw him so high on crack he was a zombie, and he'd forgotten to put his teeth in too.

JO had more time in my all time top 100 than any other artist. Not saying he didn't do a few clangers, but given their huge output what major JA star didn't

Ah, well saw the cool ruler many times, when he was safe in white suit, ya know?
I also thought a certain Dennis Emanuel Brown was shit when I first saw him, he was 19/20
so what do know, eh?
