“Amigo” (1980) – Black Slate

I was going to give you the rarer track “Sticks Man” (robberman … why you do dat?), but it’s not on Youtube.

Notice in this clip the use of Spaghetti Western imagery, which was quite common at the time in reggae circles and exemplified by Lee Perry’s late 1960s and early 1970s output with The Upsetters.
