This is a tape made by SeanOne of the vinyl dogs. This wasn't released or sold, it's just a bunch of reggae tracks on a tape made in 1998. You may know the Vinyl Dogs from some of the compilations or instrumental records they put out in the 90's, or even buying records from them at the conventions back in the day. If you heard the Fatboy Slim song with the Lord Finesse vocals 'Check it out now, it's the funk soul brother', that was a line taken from a Vinyl Dogs record.
If anyone wants to help me identify some of the tracks on here it would be greatly appreciated, the only one I know is the John Holt song on side B. The song that comes in at the 8:30 mark on side A is bananas and I'm dying to know what it is, if anyone can help. Enjoy the tape, there's some good stuff on there. If you dig it leave some feedback.
peace to Vinyl Mike and Sean, K Lew, and Shank Williams
