I don't have a problem with the vocals. The song needed a brighter mix a bit more sharpness. It just sounds flat to me. The melody is fine all the ingredients are there and The Cool Out brings that out in the mix way better than the single.matedog wrote: ↑23 Nov 2017, 12:13amNot having the dead vocals and lazy same melody throughout vocals helps Cool Out as well.Marky Dread wrote: ↑21 Nov 2017, 8:32pmThat is an easy answer.

Re: The Call Up Promo Video
Yep pretty much. The Sound System mix brings out more than before. I've just looked at the '99 remaster and it's horribly brickwalled. All the original CD's are better than those '99 remasters.gkbill wrote: ↑23 Nov 2017, 1:34amHello,Marky Dread wrote: ↑23 Nov 2017, 1:20amI don't have a problem with the vocals.

Hmmm, interesting. I've been listening to it the same way for 37 years, this is a fresh, effervescent mix, I'd like to mix some whiskey with it and have a cocktail. Very nice

Re: The Call Up Promo Video
I decided having just a stray track is a bit daft. So here's a full EP.

Listening to this now. Terrific stuff. Someone really needs to sort you out an official job with the band. TeddyB, have a word, please!

Re: The Call Up Promo Video
Cheers Laxman and 101. It's a really good track and has always been one of my faves. It just needed that brighter mix. A lot of S! is the same. The reggae and dub tracks are all fine but the rest needed a lift. I'm glad the SS box rectified this somewhat.101Walterton wrote: ↑23 Nov 2017, 4:31pmShit Marky listening to this through headphones puts it on a new level altogether.

I know a lot of people don't like Stop the World, but I always thought the two tracks went together quite nicely.
