1987-06-03 Throw Me Corn

Larry Marshall had recorded a song called “Throw me corn” as a reggae classic, and I played it again this week along with some new releases and a number of re-releases of classic Reggae. “Corn” refers to money, so it has a special meaning. Also mourning the murder of Prince Far-I in Jamaica and using his own voice to let out that mournful cry. Sister Susan is on with her astrological forecast at the end, a regular feature in those days.

Music included: Prince Far-I, Studio One Dub Band, Augustus Pablo, Robotiks, Mad Professor, Sandra Cross, Larry Marshall, Macka B, Papa Levi, Ranking Tony, Lee Van Cliff, Ranking Toyan, Gregory Isaacs, Bim Sherman, Lambsbread, Bob Marley & the Wailers and a lot more.
