Inna Studio One Old Skool Roots Reggae Mix
This is dedicated to my love of 70s old skool roots reggae as championed by Sir Coxsone Dodd, founder of the Motown of Jamaica, Studio One who had literally every great artist pass through from Bob Marley to John Holt, Horace Andy to Lee Scratch Perry. Their artists in turn went on to inspire the next generation so if it wasn't for this label perhaps hip hop, soul, jungle, electronic music, trip hop, dubstep, etc wouldn't even exist or at least wouldn't be anywhere near as good. All hail King Dodd!
Now this is not a definitive mix, there are literally hundreds of songs I could have used. This is just me dipping my toes in their water and tipping my hat to legends.

Faith and the Muse - Sovereign (gothic rock)
LYRICS:
Between the world and the one inside
The truth you speak and the one you hide
Some stolen moments and a struggle within
Behind the pain and the sacrifice
Behind the mask and the grey disguise
How many angels dancing on the head of a pin?
There's a meeting at the midnight hour
Come alive and seize your power
Giving sight to the blind
We are one of a kind
So welcome here
Tonight
In the presence of a moment divine
As the shadows gather at the shrine
We retreat and advance
In the spell of the dance
Familiars all
Tonight
Before the mirror but behind the veil
Within the box but beyond the pale
The narrow margin peering down into the abyss
Believe in you and the flame within
Your real face, your second skin
Your soul immortal, radiant and given to bliss
Come out, come out wherever you hide
Time to stand and walk with pride
There's a look in your eye
I could never deny
And it means the world
Tonight
Caught within a second sublime
Like the nail through the hands of time
There's a tale told bizarre
That's behind every scar
And I'm yours, all ears
Tonight
Your flashing eyes
Lay bare your soul
For all to see
Your beating heart
In time with mine
There's only you and me
Because we now have the eyes to see
That we are sovereign, true and free
Free to play our future like the beat of a drum
Because we now hold our heads up high
Because their judgment we decry
Brothers and sisters
Thy kingdom come
Babyshambles - Dandy Hooligan (Reggay style New Official Video)
Lyrics
Dandy, Dandy Hooligan
Dandy, Dandy Hooligan
He's rude in temper rude in style
Him a wicked and a wild,
He loves an old hat shop
And a good punch up
Oh well he never punch down
This sartorial brawler
He never punch down
Dandy, Dandy Hooligan
Dandy, Dandy Hooligan
He likes to dance, he likes to sing
He likes to ‘lick off the 10 pound ting’
He loves an old hat shop
And a good punch up
He never punch down
He robs from the rich gives to his wardrobe
You know he never punch down
This sartorial brawler
He never punch down
Dandy, Dandy
Him Dandy
Him Dandy
Him Dandy
Dandy, Dandy Hooligan
Dandy, Dandy Hooligan

The MOD REVIVAL - Nationwide, Retro Fashion (BBC Archive 1979 VIDEO)
James Hogg reports on the mod revival currently taking place in London. He interviews Ian Page - the vocalist with the new mod group Secret Affair - and John Entwistle of mod's elder statesmen The Who. Is the mod rebirth just a flash-in-the-pan, motivated by money, or is there more to it than that?
The whole affair is regarded with some amusement in Yorkshire, where the mod scene never really went away, and where there are still several thriving scooter clubs. What do these veteran mods make of what is happening down in London?
Originally broadcast 13 September, 1979.
To mark the BBC's 100th birthday, our wonderful archivists have been asked to pick THEIR favourite BBC moments.
"Semi-mythical item (purely as very few people seem to have seen it, and has never to my knowledge ever been re-used in any archive programmes). Captures the late 1970s Mod revival at a pivotal point, and looks at the scene in northern England as well as London." - Andy

2 TONE Records - Behind The Scenes BBC Music (1980 VIDEO)
"These earnest young Midlands entrepreneurs are the epitome of free enterprise in Margaret Thatcher's brave new Britain" - Tony Wilkinson.
Tony Wilkinson reports on the phenomenal rise of a small independent record label in Coventry, 2 Tone. The label is at the heart of the second wave of ska music, promoting groups like The Selecter and The Specials, bands who blend Jamaican rocksteady, ska and reggae with British punk.
Wilkinson chats to Jerry Dammers - keyboard player in The Specials and 2 Tone founder - about the origin of both the label and the music, and singer Neville Staple about his vocal style and anti-violence stance.
Clip taken from Nationwide, originally broadcast on BBC One, 22 May, 1980.
