Lacksley Castell

Posted almost 5 years ago
If you like Hugh Mundell check out Lacksley Castell. Lacksley released an Album with Hugh in the early 80's called Jah Fire. He released two albums of his own with Sly & Robbie rythmn, Morning Glory and Princess Lady. All three are very good, but Morning Glory is absolute killer. The tracks Leaving and Righteous Man are essential 80's reggae.Lacksley passed away in 1983.

    Fijah says His name's actually "Lacksley Castell". "Morning Glory" is good but "Princess Lady"...defanitly one of the favorites(if you can get past the album title)!!!! and if you haven't heard of "Augustus Pablo"....that would be another good one to check out. He DJ'd for both these guy's. Melodica??? What's a Melodica????

    Blueboy says Sorry Fijah, I hadn't noticed that mistake. I have all of Lacksley records on CD now. Saw Augustus Pablo a few times in Manchester, England in the 80's and 90's. A very sad loss.

    Fijah says Castell's amazing especially the "Johnny Brown", "Leaving" and "Jah Fire" cuts. I wish I could have seen Pablo live before he passed. Rest In Peace Rasta!!!!!
