ONE LOVE: REGGAE: Selam Samuel: Selector, collector

“So, the 45 I have with me that is special to me is a Coxsone Studio One 45 of “Always Together” by Bob Andy and Marcia Griffiths and the flip side, the one that I love most on this, is “Baby Face” by the Sound Dimension group. And the reasonwhy it's so special is cos I love, I've always loved, Marcia Griffiths and Bob Andys pairing on this particular track and they just sound so beautiful and just as one. I don't know if that sounds kind of cheesy but (laughs). But it's just an absolutely lovely song, just everything that you'd want in a .. not just a reggae tune but just in any good song in general and their heartfeltness, for lack of a better word, just shines through beautifully on this production.And I love Baby Face because the riff is based on the sixties garage song “Black is Black”.And it's just a very uptempo - I don't hear it often but whenever I hear it  always .. my ears always perk up! And that is why this record Always Together by Marcia Griffiths and Bob Andy and Baby Face by Sound Dimension is very special to me.”Selam Samuel: Record City, Brooklyn NY, 7th February 2019Bob & Marcia / Sound Dimension- “Always Together” / “Baby Face” - released 1969 (approx.)
