Dread Beat and Blood is one of the greatest albums of all time. As very young ACFC I used to go underaged to the single night a week reggae club in our town. And between songs get the dj to translate his lyrics. Thinking back, he was incredibly fucking patient.

Ha! Maybe he was glad you showed an interest
But I also have some similar "what was I thinking" moments.
Even though I lived a stone's throw away from Bradford I didn't hear about George Lindo at the time - shameful stuff.
