The Reggae Boys / Glen Adams - Ba Ba / Power Cut The Reggae Boys / Glen Adams
Black vinyl 7 inch single with black cardboard cover with round cut-outs on both sides.
Reissue of the cult boss reggae single produced by Lee Scratch Perry!
This new 7-inch single is the first reissue ever of the super-rare original 1969 boss reggae single, The Reggae Boys “BA BA” produced by Lee Scratch Perry, along with its terrific instrumental version “Power cut”!
The single was only issued once in the UK in 1969 on the GAS label, a PAMA sublabel; apparently it was never released in Jamaica. This is the first ever reissue on 7-inch vinyl since its 1969 release.
BA BA was also released on an LP one year later in 1970 on the Upsetters’ “Clint Eastwood” l.P. Produced by Lee Perry, under the name “What is this” along with yet another Reggae Boys’ track: “Selassie”. Both tracks on the album were credited to the Upsetters without mentioning the Reggae Boys.
A side - BA BA
This cracking super rare boss reggae hit has never been reissued until now.
Although the single was clearly credited to Glen Adams, it featured on a PAMA album and compilations as a Lee Perry production under the name " What Is This? " The cool riddim was also used by Lee Perry for the Upsetters' “Cold Sweat” released in 1969. In our opinion though, the super catchy “BA BA with the pioneers' fine vocals is by far the best track. It is a fine and very much in demand boss reggae classic. What a tune!
B-side - Power Cut
Power Cut was released on the B-side of “Ba Ba” on the original 1969 gas single. It is a gorgeous organ version of the A-side performed by very talented Glen Adams, a fine instrumental example of the original Jamaican boss reggae at its very best. It has never been reissued since then. Super rare on single and super cool…
