POWER * HORACE SEATON * ISLAND 124 * UK
Horace, aka Harris, aka B. B. Seaton was a prolific recording artist both as a solo performer, he recorded for Coxsone Dodd under all three sobriquets, and as a member of the Gaylads. On this self-asertive proto Ska vocal Harris Seaton striks a unmistakable militant note, but leaves it to the listener to deside wether he is speaking as a sufferra from the ghetto, or a black man from Jamaica or even Rasta from the hills. Originaly released on the Coxsone imprint D. Darling in Jamaica, it is seen here as the B side of a Tommy McCook cut Junior Jive.
