Remembering Hopeton Lewis who was born on this day in 1947. 60 years ago in the Federal studio Hopeton with Lynn Taitt & The Jets helped shape the new sound of Rock Steady. The first 7" released from those sessions was Sounds & Pressure. youtu.be/-F5WL0xuhuE?... #reggae #reggaesky #vinyl #music
7" of Hopeton Lewis - Sounds And Pressure on Blue Beat label. The label credits Buster All Stars and also credits Prince Buster as writer and producer. This is incorrect. It was written by Hopeton Lewis. It was recorded at the Federal Studio and produced by Sam Mitchell and Keith Scott. It was originally released in Jamaica on the Merritone label in November 1966 with the correct credits. This Blue Beat release came out in the UK in 1967 with the incorrect credits.

The US spends WAY, WAY more on its military that most Americans—and often, their lawmakers—realize. That's because military expenses are tucked into a host of other agency budgets. (These figures include some funds appropriated in earlier fiscal years spend in FY2025.) Full story below. (1/2)

Since the 'ceasefire' in Gaza, 1400+ Palestinians have been killed. 0 Israelis have been killed. The 'ceasefire' is not a Ceasefire but simply a protection for Israel, while Israel are allowed to go on killing.
