Prince Far-I & Creation Rebel - Peel Session 1978

[@nahojgrooc]

Fabulous ! Thanks for uploading! Never heard it before. Inspirational voice of Thunder!

[@scotchoats]

Pure Kwality from The Voice of Thunder himself Far I .... was only 15 year old when he was shot and still a punk rocker ..... listning to The Clash ....I'm thinking who are these people? Prince Far i , Learoy Smart , Ken Booth , Dillinger ,Delroy Willson ? Well i've never looked back ! still a punk 47 YO now loving this poetry

+David Brown and me!

[@hybrydfizzogg]

+David Brown I'm 53 now,as a 14 year old in '77,I discovered the Sex Pistols,by '78 I had discovered Reggae,Firstly Culture,Bob Marley,these led me to Prince Fari, King Tubby,Lee Perry-Dub in general,"singers and players",and one of my all time favourite Reggae songs,"move out Babylon" by King Blacka. I've still got the early punk,but I have loads more Reggae/Dub, I have a preference for Roots,through out the '70s,but by the '80s Reggae had changed and I couldn't change with it,though some of the modern Dub is good. The words of Bob Marley,Culture and Prince Fari resonate with me,even more nowadays due to my Spiritual beliefs. ONELOVE

[@strumbolli]

I agree. I couldn't get with the dancehall ting, but the rest of it :)

[@scotchoats]

+strumbolli same not my cup of tea, but went out to JA years later in the height of the dancehall and had a visit to King Jammy's v Stonelove sound system at half way tree and the atmosphere was magically electric , I'm sure the local tobacco helped though :))

[@strumbolli]

+David Brown I lived in South London in 89/90 dancehall was all you heard pon the radio, I liked it but lacked the spiritual/mystic content of the late 70's heavy weights Gibbs/Perry/Tubby etc. Have to say though to attend a sound system dance in JA would be memorable. For 3 chord thrash music Punk opened up whole new diverse genres of music to enjoy from dub to krautrock, ska to 60's garage to glam and i soaked all of them up.

This guy is memorizing

[@m.scottmcgahan9900]

Memorizing his lyrics? Or scripture? Or you're memorizing it? I don't understand. Or are you trying to say he's mesmerizing? (he is!)

[@RH-ie2tx]

Great comments on here...people who genuinely love this music and not looking for an argument about it....”said I reel out mi hose an waaatter mi gaaarden!” PFRIP.

Vibracobra23 been looking through your massive Peel Sessions playlist. Many thanks for far too many to mention. You've made an old hippiepunkdubber very happy.

[@VanjaSrdic]

Thank you for this wonderful upload! Here's the lineup if you'd like to add it in your descriptions... Lineup: - Prince Far I (Lead Vocals) - Vernon (Guitar) - Clifton Morrisson (Keyboards) - Clinton Jack (Bass) - Dr. Pablo (Melodica) - Charley (Drums) - Producer: Jeff Griffin - Engineer: Nick Gomm

[@divingfree]

Thanks. I saw Fari live and have always wondered who the guy on melodica was. Obviously reminded me of Augustus Pablo. He showed up in a number of reggae bands playing London in the late 70s.

I saw him Live at the 100 Club in London 1980'ish........BRILLIANT! :)

[@divingfree]

Paul Mac I was there too. 17 years old.

[@divingfree]

@@dia.6213 I got there a bit early and went over to the bar only to stand next to and chat with the man himself. He was drinking Baby Cham. It got quite crowded before he came on stage. Amazing set. Some white Rasta kid was proclaiming as a prophet. I expressed my doubts and he threatened to stab me. Other than that a very memorable evening.

[@dia.6213]

@@divingfree That is a great tale ....I've read that he was a humble and quiet man ...what did you chat about ? What did he think of London ?

[@divingfree]

@@dia.6213 Nothing very much. He was semi-based in London at the time. Polite and quietly spoken. I sensed he was just chilling before the gig so didnt want to be a pain in the ass :-)

[@Vibracobra23_Original]

The line up for the session according to the BBC website was: Prince Far I (Lead Vocals), Vernon (Guitar), Clifton Morrison (Keyboards), Clinton Jack (Bass), Dr. Pablo (Melodica), Charley (Drums). Dr Pablo is Pete Stroud and Charley is likely to be Charlie Fox, but I have no idea who Vernon is.
