Purpleman & Scaramouche - Dem A Call Mi Name

After digging through a stack of vinyl in a virtual crawlspace of a store, I came across a fantastic record label with a ninja on it. Then I saw "Purpleman" listed as one of the artists, and I raised my eye brow up, as I didn't even realize Purpleman had any 7"s released. I quickly grabbed it and added it to my small pile of digital reggae pieces that I had found.

 

Upon coming home, I put the slab on the deck, and as soon as the song started, I just knew it was going to be one tough song. Purpleman & Scaramouche absolutely wreak havoc on the "Full Up" with some fierce lyrics directed at Yellowman.

 

"Listen mi style, and listen mi fashion, cause Purpleman him is a God blessed man, and I get my gift from the almighty one."

 

"Right a right, and wrong a wrong, the Purpleman short and the Yellowman long. Now Purpleman have two jaw bone and Yellowman have one"

 

As far as I know, this might be the last record that Purpleman appeared on, and may be the only digital song I've heard him on. Which is really a shame, as he really sounded like he was in top form on this tune. The song was from 89' if Purpleman's vocals are correct.

 

I really have to rate this song rather high. As soon as I saw that wonderful label art, I knew I found a gem!
