“I had just finished wrapping up months of volunteer work editing this full up edition of the REGGAE NEWS when MIDNIGHT DREAD hit the airwaves on KTIM-FM from San Rafael, California in the fall of 1979. In this very early Monday morning January 7th 1980 radio show I refer to this newspaper to get Stephen, Ziggy, & Cedella Marley’s ages just right when premiering their first single “Children Playing In The Streets”. The Reggaeighties have officially started. The torch is being passed. Time traveling gets I & I forward.” -Doug Wendt for Midnight Raver, January 7th, 2013 midnightdread.com

Melody Makers “Play The Game Right” / “Lying In Bed” 7″ Vinyl (EMI)

I have included a righteous rip of my Melody Makers 7″ (EMI) “Play The Game Right” / “Lying In Bed.”  If you’ve never heard “Lying In Bed” it is one of the most beautiful and haunting singles you’ve ever heard.  I don’t know why they never re-recorded this one for a later album.  Wow! It will creep up on you if you’re not careful.  “Lying In Bed” was included on the album Children Playing – an album that was never officially released.

Music by The Wailers Band.

You may have to play with the toggle to get it to play.  MixCloud is really acting a fool.
