Mr Spaulding - Sweet Lady / Sweet Lady (Version) /

Facts Twelve inch vinyl pressing. Released by Bunny Roots' Kris Disk label in 1983, 'Sweet Lady' and 'Vision' came out on separate 7"s and were the last Jamaican recordings of Mr Spaulding. Side One is bouncy loverman mode, a sugar hymn of elusive desire for a certain lady, recorded on the same night as Josey Wales' 'Kingston Hot' at Aquarius. 'Vision' predicts a sea of blood, a warning of social tension on the streets of 1980's Jamaica. Not long after this Spaulding was stabbed, hastening his move abroad to the USA and eventually London.
