Mad Professor Captures Pato Banton (1985)



I'm afraid I've been having trouble uploading to Mediafire at the minute, so this great album's been uploaded to Rapidshare. Sorry in advance to anyone who finds themself having to wait to download this. But I will say, this on IS worth a little wait...absolutely fantastic British reggae from straight out of the Ariwa studios in Peckham. Pato Banton works some lyrical magic over the Professor's super tight digital dub workouts. My favourite tune on the album is 'My Opinion', it has this violin snaking about in the background that just makes me go weak at the knees:


Tracklist:

01 Mad Professor Captures Pato Banton

02 Gwarn! (Go On)

03 Nuff Kind Of Dread

Cor! Nice one. This was the soundtrack to my life for a good few years. Mad Professor once chalenged me to a game of pinball, in Exeter Cavern. He was all, like not bothered, summting to kill five minutes... BUT He was a friggin demon at it man. After my rubbish 1st go his go (1st ball) lasted half an hour! To the the point where the promoter had to get him, he looked at me and told me to claim the high score! I didnt, I put MadProf up on the machine. I saw Pato back in the early 90s but I cant remember if it was Sunsplash in Brighton or Tribute to Bob Marley gig at a hall on the beach at St Austell in Cornwall. Thanks for tunes brother. ACTUALLY! Any chance of re-upping mebbe to media fire please.
