Description

"Belly Lick" was originally released in 1968 on the Blue Cat label. "Belly Lick" is a wicked, fast-paced track that fuses early Reggae with the infectious drive of Mento. The call-and-response vocals and raw, party-like intensity make this track a standout piece of vintage Jamaican fire and a great nod to Jamaica’s traditional folk music roots. The track's quality and rarity has made it a very coveted item among Reggae vinyl collectors.

The party continues with the energetic and wild "Game Song", a wicked instrumental track difficult to describe. Its relentless pace and goofy but intricated orchestral madness suggest the soundtracks for a black and white animated cartoon from the 30s but in a Jamaican way! It is a perfect B Side for the outstanding "Belly Lick" especially considering that "The Game Song" was also written by Dennis Walks. Sadly it was the only known collaboration between Dennis Walks and Drumbago due to Drumbago untimely death in 1969.
