    From Jason Gross@21:1/5 to All on Wed Jun 2 19:21:29 2021
    Greetings,

    In the latest issue of Perfect Sound Forever <http://www.furious.com/perfect/index0621.html>, you'll find (among other things):

    U-ROY- toasting the last toasting by Eric Doumerc
    "Ewart Beckford, who had acquired the nickname "U-Roy" (after one of his cousins failed to pronounce his first name), found a job as a timekeeper in a cement factory and continued to attend sound-system dances. In 1969 he made his first recordings for
    Lee Perry, Bunny Lee, and Keith Hudson. He then recorded two sides for Lloyd Daley in October 1969 but it was with the producer Duke Reid that he was to achieve real success."


    We're always looking for good writers and/or ideas so let us know if you have anything to share.

    See you online,
    Jason
