I love Reggae but thankfully for you I am not as obsessive about it as I am about other forms of music, ok maybe I am but then I am more subdued about it. I spied this collection in my local HMV for £5-99 and it somehow slipped into my pocket, good thing too cause it has got two of my all time favorite songs on it "Reggae Got Soul" and PressureDrop. This CD is part of Islands Reggae Greats series rather obviously from the Title isn?t it and has 12 chunks of chilled out Reggae by Toots and the Maytals on it.
Kicking off with "54-46 That?s My Number" a rocksteady number for 1968 based upon Toots time in prison, then moving onto "Reggae Got Soul" it moves into a nice steady relaxed reggae grove and I am happily skanking away on my seat here. "Monkey Man" ups the tempo and I am chanting "Aye Aye Aye" hey I'm Scottish and we are ...
I will start by pointing out that there is a spelling mistake in the title which was already on Ciao, as it is actually 'Eddie' Izzard not 'Eddir' as stated above!
This brilliant show featuring comic genius Eddie Izzard (of whom I am a big fan) was recorded at Shaftesbury Theatre, London, when he was in the middle of his sell out ten week 'Definite Article' run in 1996.
As well as being a stand up comedian, Eddie has also appeared in films and TV shows such as Have I Got News For You and takes part in many marathons raising money for Sport Relief.
For me, Eddie is at his best when on stage. The man is quite simply a genius. Anyone who can mime rotting fruit deserves credit in my opinion!
Whilst waiting for Christmas to arrive, when I hope I will be receiving a copy of his latest DVD, I decided recently to watch Definite Article as ...

Father Dougal McGuire - Ardal O'Hanlon
(Born 8 October 1965)
Father Dougal is the innocent fool of the group with the mental age of a radish. In his world the sky is always blue and the clouds are made of cotton candy. A bit like his brains.
His only other big hit was 'My Hero', where he played George Sunday a dopey Super hero.
Father Jack Hackett - Frank Kelly
(Born 28 December 1938)
Father Jack is a foul mouthed drunkard who takes every opportunity to drink anything that is wet, oh except water to which he is allergic,....HE CLAIMS!

Album Notes
Import version with two bonus tracks. With their heavy soul influence, Toots & the Maytals--consisting of vocalists Frederick "Toots" Hibbert, Nathaniel "Jerry" Mathias, and Henry "Raleigh" Gordon--were reggae pioneers. They melded American R&B harmonies to shuffling Jamaican rhythms in the 1960s and expanded the genre's parameters with unusual cover tunes in the '70s. PRESSURE DROP: THE DEFINITIVE COLLECTION, is a two-disc set that presents 49 Maytals tracks primarily recorded between '64 and '75, including successful early singles such as the percussive "Bam Bam" and incarceration tale "54-46 That's My Number" (based on Toots's real-life jail time for alleged drug possession). By 1968, the group settled into a string of hits, most notably the energetic "Pressure Drop" (later covered by the Clash) and "Monkey Man" (subsequently performed by the Specials). In the '70s, Toots & the Maytals garnered attention for their funky take on the rock & roll classic "Louie Louie" and an inventive, gospel-tinged rendition of John Denver's "(Take Me Home) Country Roads." Though there are many Maytals collections on the market, PRESSURE DROP is one of the finest overviews of the trio's first decade.
