Once saw a great (BBC? C4?) documentary on dub. Lee Perry was asked why he
had a toaster attached to the front gate of his house and responded "because

was Can's vocalist at that time...

One further addendum : Johnny Nash had a few singles out in the late
60s/early 70s with a reggae flavor and popchart success stateside as well.
"I Can See Clearly Now" was resurrected later for a Windex (window cleaner)
commercial. I think his cover of Marley's "Stir it Up" made a dent in the

I think every market has its strengths and weaknesses. The lyrics to some of
the hip-hop albums are really complex and, in many ways, people are probably
listening more closely to music than ever before. Hip-hop albums are the
hardest thing for a reviewer as it's not something you can just play in
It IS defenitely sad when I go to a local US record store and ask for the
Stacey Pullen LP and they say it's 30 some dollars. I , of course, am going

As for the U.S. music market, people need to associate lyrics, melody, (a

Not even. You'd have to back further than that - 1969, I think, to
Desmond Dekker & The Aces' top ten hit "The Israelites". Remember also that
in those days, "mainstream" was considered the AM radio format and FM was
for your more "underground" tastes in general (although by 1973 this was

Going back even further, I would think America's first mainstream
introduction to reggae would be through Led Zeppelin's "D'yer Maker", what
was that 73'?
just a thought..I know it's not really reggae, but the influences are
undeniable, and once again the British gave us something nice.

I think I recall seeing them in either 1979 or 1980 at Bookies Club 870.

It's more the colour codes that exist in America. Black artists are still
expected to make 'urban' music - ie R&B and hip-hop - and American record

electronic muscian. So they would view a Stacey as unmarketable - and that's
