Big Youth - Train To Rhodesia

1976. My first time in London by myself and I am desperately trying to find a copy of Big Youth's 'Dreadlocks Dread' (this is before it was re-released on Virgin.) Asking a dread up at Ladbroke Grove, where I was on my Hawkwind pilgrimage by having a cup of tea in the 'Mountain Grill' and he points me to a place where I scored a copy of it. The dread was Barry Ford, the drummer with the pub rock band Clancy who was just about to start his own band Merger.
(* Memo to Steve Barker from The Wire, he never played with The Kilburns, that was David
Rohoman.)
