First Cut: Giant

http://youtu.be/PxsZpHZ3Yuk

Giant only released 41 singles, and two more non reggae sides, over the course of 1967 and 1968 but it's held in high esteem by record collectors around the world. Certainly a lot of that acclaim is down to the legendary "The Cooler" single, by the Wrigglers, seeing release on the label in '68 and the numerous Dandy produced and likely Dandy featuring sides that also featured. But that's only part of the story.

This track doesn't get enough love. Picked it up a few weeks ago, can't wait to spin it on New Years Eve.

Continuing on with the theme of things we;re into. Bunny Lee and Glen Adams are definitely two of them. Adams is more well known for his organ grinding sessions that get skinheads around the world moving, but he also put out some quality rocksteady sides. This tune in particular was produced by the incredibly talented Bunny Lee. The man could seemingly do no wrong during the rocksteady era and produced a lot of top notch skinhead reggae on the Unity label. If you don't have the cash to track down some of the singles I would highly recommend picking up the 2LP "Bunny Lee Rocksteady Years" album put out by Moss Selekta. Crucial cuts throughout.
