Now thats very interesting @steviebee
To my knowledge Dennis Brown recorded two versions of Money… one for Niney The Observer aka Winston Holness and a later re recording for Joe Gibbs.
If memory serves Freedom Sounds was the label of producer Phillip Frasier and Im not aware of DB recording a version for him.
Could I trouble you for a close up of the label?

Lindisfarne - Fog on the Tyne - WAV CD rip
Brilliant English folk-rock, high energy upbeat numbers and ballads work well as a set.

My pleasure, Dread
I don’t think (tho I can’t say definitively) that this is a specific new recording by Dennis - I’ve always thought it was kind of a backing track for the toast/dub, which i assume was done by Youth and Youth - but again I’m not sure who Y&Y were. The clue is the ‘Adapted’ on the label. If you have any inkling, I’d love to know…

My personal favourite of theirs - Melon went on a bit too long and the follow-up was not very well recorded imo!

Jimmy Smith - ‘The Cat’ (1964). Very entertaining and catchy stuff as ever from Jimmy Smith. One track, ‘The Main Title from The Carpetbaggers’ always a makes me think of finance executives, corporate office blocks and big business. This is because it was used as the theme to ‘The Money Programme’ on Sunday evenings on BBC2 in the 1970s when I was a teenager (Brian Widlake, Valerie Singleton era). Happy days!

Home Service - Live 1986 - WAV CD rip
One of the finest folk-rock bands of the ‘80s caught live at Cambridge folk festival, a great set (I was there) finally released 25 years later. Powerful committed songs, beautifully sung by John Tams, great rhythm and horn sections, and fiery lead guitar from Graeme Taylor.

Streaming on Qobuz (96/24)… moving on into the early evening hours with ‘The Gondwana Orchestra’ featuring the fabulous vocals of ‘Dwight Triple’ and they are sounding mighty sweet! One fantastic album… much to short at four tracks and just short of 19 minutes in length.
