Dave & Ansel Collins - Double Barrel
Double Barrel - Big Tree LP 1971, written & produced by Winston Riley.
Presented here is the Trojan issue. The Trojan issue has as one can see a naked girl sitting twice in the barrels. The original Big Tree issue has empty barrels, since the US market was at the time considered too prudish for such wittyness. On the contrary Trojan aimed at the European market where a decent naked girl on the cover would do no harm.
Double Barrel, the title song was a number one hit in the UK. Funky heavy heavy monster sounds, the first to appear in it's unremixed raw Jamaican presence on UK national television in the pop music show Top Of The Pops. A thrilling moment: Jamaican music was barely supported by radio, but it was now finally at the top of the charts. If you like reading this here's some more from Tom.
