iamdek Posted June 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 The LION7 version is the re-press released in 2005: This one I have here contains the same tracks as the RAS1 copy I had (and sold). It has the exact same RAS1 PROMO label and I bought it from a bloke who's collection spanned 1994-1998 and contained no other repress tunes ... so I fugured this may not actually be a repress.

Ornette Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 Iamdek, referencing my personal Tarzan database, done in MS Access back in 1999 etc... *yawn* yep, my Junglist is indeed etched LION7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ornette Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 my RAS1 is actually etched LION7 Right, let's get this straight... my copy of RAS1 "Junglist", I have it right in front of me... it's etchedLION 7A -¹ b/w LION 7AA -1 Nothing else in the run-out grooves - incidentally, RAS2 (also with me) is etched as it says on the labelThey are definitely both originals, I remember I was quite eager to get Junglist at the time, also had just got my decks when the second came out so was on the look out for new tunes. The LION7 version is the re-press released in 2005 : From the list I had some time ago @ http //www.congonatty.com :LION 007 - Tribe of Issachar ft Peter Bouncer: Junglist (DJ Zinc Remix)...(And yes the original LION series only had 1, 2, 3 and X1) Well, that must be a typo, as the list you mention was originally up from maybe sept 2004 onwards. Does any one have this LION 007 "repress"? From my investigations here it seems it surfaced around jan 2003, and the clip I've traced for it does seem to be one of the remixes This does also beg the question of what even happened with 4, 5, 6... And what is this?http //rolldabeats.com/release/30063/congo_natty_records/congo001I have conflicting details about what's on it, would like to confirm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ornette Posted November 2, 2019 Report Share Posted November 2, 2019 Does any one know anything of this LION 007 'repress'?? Also – LION 009 - Tribe of Issachar: Tribal Natty (97 Mix) / Tribal Natty (Original Dubplate Mix) Is this meant to be a direct repress of RAS11 or something, unsurehttp //rolldabeats.com/release/2406/congo_natty_records/ras11 This does also beg the question of what even happened with 4, 5, 6... Going by my research here on the 'RAS' & 'ZION' sequences, looks like 6 would well have been avoided.Which means really only 4 & 5 now. I'm thinking about the "Original Ses" release-I see its been paired with the other side, "Yes Selectah", twice, both as this LION8 and CONGONATTY3. Which makes me wonder if it was an intended release back then. JJ - do you know any instances of Police In Helicopter being played, can't remember for sure but do somehow think it was something I heard bitd... surely not later than 1994 though. Previous to "Champion DJ", must be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Previous to "Champion DJ", must be I don't think I've heard it on any sets from around 1994. Can you remember if it turned up in any of the dubplate collections?

Ornette Posted November 10, 2019 Report Share Posted November 10, 2019 No, I don't think it did, and I don't specifically remember it from the time... what is somehow familiar is disjointed nature of the tune, where the Top Cat vocal ends, then with the breakdown & then the John Holt sample dropping in Like, as in maybe I heard it the once, and then the memory of it was obliterated by "Champion DJ" getting favoured by all the big names in the scene? I note that "Yes Selectah" is in a couple of sets, from earlier in that yearJumping Jack Frost - Roast 'The Bank Holiday Bonanza' - 30.04.1994Bryan Gee - 'Dread At The Control' - April / May 1994 That's obviously an older tune, with its very 'hardcore' styled bassline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
