About Sheperds Delight there are cats or what? Someone knows?

I’m not sure that Shepherds herd cats :)

[Heston]

I think it's the band making animal noises, but with varispeeding in places.

On "Shepherd's Delight" It's Mikey Dread using squeaky toys that have been manipulated with studio effects.

Yes definitely. A brilliant keyboardist.

DJ at the beginning of LS is Habte Selassie.

Thanks, it hadn't even occurred to me that that was actually a real dj and not an entirely made up clip. Every day here is a school day!

Yeah genuine radio show called "Labbrish" from WBAI radio in New york. Jamaica DJ.

Great to learn this, should have known it sooner. Just looked it up and the word "labrish" or "labbrish" is apparently Jamaican dialect for "Gossip, rumor, chatty speaking. noun. 1." So not sure why Joe should have been expecting more music from it

Such a curious clip though and i really do like it.

Joe sounds very Brixton in that clip. Hanging round with Paul had changed his accent at that point.

Violin? Do you mean those awful screeching train noises?

I'm still convinced there's some human voices in there amongst Mikey's toys.

I've always assumed those sounds are of a lift shaft.

They need some oil if that's the case.

I'll take this opportunity to ask what Mikey says in the Crooked Beat.

Sounds like...

Waaaah!
It's the prayer, it's the plague
Noooooo!
It's the dub wise styleee!

Also his little bit at the start of One More Time. The last bit sounds like "unite and stop your killing and your fight...fight...fighting." Then he does another rap later in the song which is nearly indecipherable.

Well the song is about tower blocks so it fits.
