Carl Dawkins - I'll Make It Up / Hot & Sticky 7"
SKU: HSRSS0013
Description:
Carl ‘Ras’ Dawkins was born on 1st August 1948 in Spanish Town,
Jamaica, the son of a Jazz drummer… After moving to Kinston, young
Carl attended Kingston Senior School where his classmates included
the great Slim Smith and Jimmy Riley, two of the former
“Techniques”.
After a spell in prison for possession of marijuana, Carl recorded
a collection of singles for producers such as Clancy Eccles, Lee
Perry and Leslie Kong. He returned to JJ and found success again in
1970, when he recorded one of that year’s best-selling singles, the
superb ‘Satisfaction’, swiftly followed by two other major hits the
same year, ‘Get Together’ and ‘This Land’ which sold heavily
despite being banned by the government for its hard-hitting lyrics
on the state of Jamaica at the time. He is rightly considered
being one of Reggae's all-time greatest vocalists…
This killer double sider is the first reissue of two super rare and
outstanding tracks by the great Carl Dawkins. Both tracks have
never been reissued until now. The very much in demand “I’ll
Make It Up” was previously released as B side to One Dollar Of
Music on Duke DU-3 in 1968. On the B side, the brilliant “Hot
And Sticky” was previously released on Rio R138 in 1967.
Both tracks were produced by the Jamaican reggae producer, J.J.
Johnson who ran two record labels Sir J. J. and JJ Records from his
Kingston shop on Orange Street, next door to Beverley's Records,
where he was shot dead in 1972.
