On any post, if the link is no longer good, leave a comment if you want the music re-uploaded. As long as I still have the file, or the record, cd, or cassette to re-rip, I will gladly accommodate in a timely manner all such requests.

Another artist that I've shared in the past. Oku Onuora, born Orlando Wong in Kingston, JA March 1952, is a Jamaican Dub poet. His freeman name Oku Onura means "Fire that burns oppression" or "Voice of the people" in Nigerian. 

 



First up is the re-issue of his debut 1984 release with AK7 (with 5 bunus Dub tracks). Recorded at Tuff Gong Studio...

      I feel bad taking your offering without reciprocating but New Jerusalem Dub cassette has been on my want-list for some time. There are ones for sale & quite resonably on discogs, but I am waiting for digital files. I have a cassette player but no way to digitize. Sorry, but thanks for the share.

    Pfffff, I am searching for New Jerusalem Dub a long time. Now, on Soulseek, there is a user called swt and he has it in his shares. Private shares, and he doesn't respond to any action/question/request from my side. When you have any odd way to get through. You can have a go. Good luck.
