This radio show has been doing the rounds recently and I thought I'd post it as it's well worth hearing. Supposedly from 1969, a radio show from Jamaica broadcast shortly after the death of Don Drummond.

This rhythm first appeared around July time but through unofficial channels only, sadly it hasn't had a proper release. It's a great rhythm with some superb cuts on it that really deserve to be heard. that's why we've done this mix. Lutan Fyah - Never Once/Ginja - Damn Those People/Nature - Down With Corruption/Puddy Roots - Jah Soldier/ Step Out feat. Pia - No More Folly/Nah Switch - Love Life/Natty King - The Heat Is On/Teflon - Nuh Progress. If/when these tunes get a proper release buy them. Beware of the MP3 sites that are selling these at the moment though - they're bootleggers.

The last Tighten Up at Catch in Shoreditch

The Tighten Up Crew are joined by guest selector David Katz. MC's on the night - Champian, Professor Mark and (briefly) Clappers Priest.

From Saturday 4 March when Dublin's mighty Worries Outernational Crew visited Tighten Up in London. Part One is the Tighten Up Crew warming up the session.

A recording of a Tighten Up session from April 2006. Guests on the night were Icon C and Stuart Soulful alongside the usual selectors Tim P and Mistah Brown. Champion is on the mic plus a short stint from Ras Digby towards the end. Some seriously rare Rocksteady and Roots on this session...
