I was on an overnight trip from Amsterdam to London and they hauled us off the bus at 5am to go thru French border control. The guard saw my records and asked if I was a DJ and what I played - I told him reggae, then he asked if I liked dub and I, slightly taken aback, said yes, then he asked if I liked Linton Kwesi Johnson and I, even more taken aback, replied yes, he’s really good. The guard then turned to his mate and said in French ‘check his bags for cocaine’.
great track thanks for posting.
