Additional notes
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.
Album Reviews: Uncut (p.113) - 4 stars out of 5 - "Forty-nine '60s/'70s tunes from when Toots Hibbert pioneered ska, rock steady and reggae..."
Advantages: Pressure Drop Disadvantages: 3 Songs with ghastly 80's production
...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...

...and a fantastic liar but is always being dropped in it by Dougal.
## Sadly, Dermot had a heart attack and died just 3 days before his 46th Birthday, it was also just 24 hours after recording the last episode of Father Ted ##
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

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!

Advantages: Beautifully restored versions of the greatest Holmes and Watson of all time Disadvantages: None a single one
...The Definitivecollection of arguably the best Holmes and Watson: Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce can only be greeted with joy, which is just how it was treated by me when it arrived in the post. Containing all fourteen films in the series that began in 1939 with The Hound of the Baskervilles and culminating with the rather melodramatically titled Dressed to Kill in 1946.
For those not conversant with the Rathbone/Bruce Sherlock Holmes films, they began as almost A-movies for Twentieth Century Fox first in Hound and then The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. At this point Fox decided not to film any further adventures but Universal, ever desiring to put together B-movie series, which might draw in audiences, negotiated with Conan Doyle's estate to gain the rights. Successfully so, they brought back Rathbone, as an angular, slightly...
