I was dating a Caribbean English woman once, and she immediately assumed my grasp of reggae was the usual white guy's Bob Marley playlist. When I played her this in the morning she went "how the Hell do you know this track? My mum used to play this in the morning when I was a little girl in pigtails in Notting Hill..." Thanks Joe Strummer and the Clash, for giving me an avenue into good things.
This track is inspirational generation after generation.
😎
This is every bit as much 'the usual white guy's playlist' as Bob Marley lol Maybe you should have followed up with The Israelites just to blow her mind at your knowledge ;)
@m.s.g1890 maybe you should let go of your bitterness. Improve your life a little...
I trip out on how some people always have to throw a little jab , its ridiculous
In Bristol in the Blue Lagoon club. Black and whites all mixed on the dance floor all enjoying the music. No attitudes just a mutual admiration of the music. No trouble everyone got on. What happened to those days.
Outstanding! And I even like the name of the club, to boot. Bless up.
I remember the Blue Lagoon and Top Cat Club days , great times
Wow 1976 , i remember i was an obnoxious just coming up to teenage years, and thought i could change the world.
Bless my old heart .
I still love this tune and forward thinking huh
You could've been too rotten if you like this song!
Hahaahahahahah you still can man bro you still can we can together
Bless my old heart hahahahahah made me laugh bro but so true 😂😂😢❤
@caroleannejones1582 good evening, you weren't 'Obnoxious', I have learnt many languages and cultures, still learning to make mistakes!🫣🤭
Get up stand up segrigration is disintergration
Summer days in London with your mates playing footie, BMX stunts. Inner city vibes ❤️ so nostalgic.
The best of times.
Nice
Getting a broke down Morriss4 door , pushed round Electric Avenue to Coldharbour Lane Brixton while this was blasting out full blast! Hazy daze!
Meanwhile Latimer Royal Oak
We had an old lady on our estate that would play this as a warning when ever the Police came onto the estate, No easy Nicks for OB on West Green Road.
One of the most memorable and iconic songs of that glorious summer of 1976. I was 17 going on 18. Loved it then, love it now
What a voice, what a song! One of the most beautiful protest songs ever.......Obviously The Clash loved it.
All true--melody, lyrics, rhythm working in complete harmony.
@@dreadINAbabylon I'll give The Clash credit for helping to bring attention to & recording this song, but their version doesn't even come close. Good, but not brilliant, like Junior's.
@@Mandrake591 Well said.
Foggy memory but I know it was either Articles Of Faith or The Effigies.
@@Mandrake591 You're frankly too kind to that overrated crew.
Hardly anyone mentions the true genius behind this song. The great Lee (Scratch) Perry
Scratch was a paragon figure on the development of reggae. His influence cannot be overestimated.
Dub Organizer Supreme, The Original Upsetter, Grand-Daddy of them all
Im so glad i went to a gig he held in my hometown in UK, i was really struggling with depression then (im guessing 7/8 years ago), but i forced myself to go and it was of course awesome
Pretty sure it helped fight my depression too
Much love to Mr Perry, he is missed ❤
@@isty4491 Scratch battled depression and seemed to suffer from a host of mental issues most of his adult life. Musical collaborators during his Black Ark days of the 1970s--many of whom are still alive--all alluded to his "unbalanced" genius. It came to a head when he burnt down the BA in a what can only be described as a pique of madness. While remaining a major musical force with much more sophisticated equipment till the end of his days, that early magic of his home-made backyard Black Ark studio was never again recreated.
@@dreadINAbabylon I admit i knew some of this, but not all of it, i really appreciate you sharing it with us
I guess we all carry burdens, and im fairly certain he knew that he made other peoples burdens lighter
Its just a shame we didnt do the same for him, or maybe we did with out applause
Great man, sorely missed
@@isty4491He deeply loved his fans all over the world and appreciated the applause. He was a well-known extrovert so he was never a shrinking violet! Those many Black Ark cuts from the 1970s are unequalled to this day. Even in this track, you can hear that "spongy" sound for which Scratch and the Black Ark were justifiably famous. A really unique individual whose like we'll not see again.
I’ve loved this since the 70s
RIP Junior Marvin & Lee Perry. Both in heavens. Peace
A timeless classic that will never grow old, ah the memories. Thanks for uploading
It keeps on giving, this track.
@@dreadINAbabylon It's magnificent...I remember it from my youth in London 1970's
@@Oakleaf700 And still popular with GenZ so the track will long outlast most of us. Big ups!
wow what a performance, the song is still relevant today
True that--great performance with meaningful lyrics hooked up to an unbeatable melody & riddim.
For real
Exactly ..... timeless & even more relevant
You should have been there at the time... huge impact !!!!!!!!!!
@@yvonnegoble354 I was in high school when it became popular in 1979 thanks to its inclusion on the 'Rockers' soundtrack. The fuzz hated the song back then and, of course, all my hoodlum delinquent compatriots couldn't crank up the volume high enough.
Takes me back to youth club discos.
Everything was less complicated then.
Anyone remember that HOT 🔥 SUMMER OF 76 ,🇬🇧TEE. BE WELL BLESSED
Sweet times we grew up in, born of the mid 60s
Guys this is one of the best song of all times.
,Yes I Brother!
You're right!
Listen to his words; rest in peace Mr Murvin....
True that.
omg he has passed, rip...
This was my mums alarm clock song throughout my secondary school years I would wake up to this song and sing along, or get annoyed because I was so tired but it got me out of bed 😂❤️
Your moms a legend
You know it's a true music lover when the thumbnail is the LP cover and he's answering every comments
Trying to keep the Faith, my Bredda. You have a wonderful Christmas!
One of my sound classic when I was 14 the sound was so big we traveled by bus to the youth clubs 😅😅 probably early 70s
Black people are the Watch Men of the earth, how old is that song, exacly they say it coming, every European City, and across the world, look at the news in 2021.
2023, mais alguém ouvindo essa pedrada? 🇧🇷
Gosh, everything old school is a million times better than now!!!! WOW!!
It often seems that way. And it doesn't get much better than roots reggae from the 70s.
Reggae is past, present and future music. Black Ark Sound!
Black Ark rules.
i love how this works on a disco ambience.
i love how reggae is like the caribbean soul
i love how reggae is so punk
Good call!
the big summer hit of 1976. great memories.
So glad my baby likes this ,, old song from my brother's time 1970s ,,thanks Rickyrockeroo
Sat in a park drinking lager alone blasting this from my phone, no regrets ;)
Good for you! Nothing wrong with a party of one when you've got this sort of music.
Conch?
Good onyaaaaa😂😂😂
Absolutely great upload - thank you. Total classic.
Glad to keep the old tunes alive.

@@dreadINAbabylon yes sir. respect.
When music was music!!!!😲☝️
🤦♂️
Music still is music
Awesome song and legendary artist- one of ,my top 10 favourites
Went to South East London on my holiday when I was 15 , 83 I think. Camberwell where my brother lived, the music I was exposed to was unbelievable. Roots rockers, capital radio
What a song !! He obviously speaking from the ❤ !! Loves his people's!!
He did indeed love his people and championed equal rights for all races & creeds till the day he died.
@@dreadINAbabylon am a white guy !! But I ain't no racist and the song was b4 my time but if u on some real shit u will understand 💯 % some black Jesus shit 🙌🏻
@@dreadINAbabylon word!
Amen!
1 of the best song 🎵 I love in that time to now.
This was one of the first dubs my dad bought when he was 15 way back in 1975. Him and his best friends (now my godfathers) used to run a soundsystem back then.... I hear his anecdotes whenever I hear this song ❤️☺️
Must've been awesome to hear this cranked up on a massive street PA system when it was fresh. All me & my friends could produce in 1978 was a ghetto blaster that took about 8 x D batteries to listen to reggae & funk for all of 2 hours or so before the batteries drained. Good fun though.
@@dreadINAbabylon 💯real talk! For me this bring the nostalgia of family gatherings, cook outs, funerals, weddings literally ANY gathering had to have a whole soundsystem with dub, roots and culture, lovers rock and soca..... Simple times man ❤️😢
@@dreadINAbabylon yeah we had loads of them when I was a child. Garden partys mostly. Sitting out till 12.1 ockock on the morning. My mother god rest her soul. Drunk off her vodka and coke. She never ever drank but when she did she did.
@@stevendevlin5512 Vodka & coke--a real concoction! I used to sip on rum & coke myself.
The greatest baseline out of Jamaica!!.... not one of the greatest!! The Greatest!!
It chills the spine, it's that GR8T.
Truly the best baseline. No doubt. I thought I was the only one that thought so
Great but steady on 😉
Rest in peace Juinor Murvin. Rest in peace Lee 'Scratch' Perry #legends
Both major losses to world music.
Quelle tjrs aussi bon kiffff . Pour la vie paix et son âme, super mec🙏🏼💪🏾
Truly!
@@dreadINAbabylon bon délire tu es sûrement une chouette personne Good vibes . Upérisa journée à toi bien sûr en commençant en reggae. Kool man, no problm man!!!!😉
*super journée
*paix a son âme, sorry pour la faute de frappe😉
What A Great Pure Classic By Junior Murvin It's Timeless And Still 🔈🔉)))SKANKS ON)))🎶🕺🎶🎶🎶
A real crucial track.
Un classique du reggae qui n'a souffert d'aucun ride.
Police and thieves serait sur ma liste si je devais aller sur une île deserte.
Très certainement!
oh what?????????// Utter bliss and still have the vinyl.............. superb always
Nice LP to own. A real treasure.
Wicked wicked track Junior ❤
Dis goin on as we speak
For real!
Real talk
The more things change the more they stay the same.
Now get up stand up
Get up stand up
One of the first basslines I learned to play and still love it to this day
Go back many years, even forward 50years, I still learning how to dance. However I am hopeful over the years go by, I can smooth.
A Cool Entertainer And Watching Some Dance Moves And I Like How He Follow The Drum Moves With His Feet. I Remember This Classic At Age 13 While I Was At A Private School.. Burrow Hill School.. 1976. Gone But Not Forgotten. Rest In Peace Junior Murvin🎤🎸🎵🎶🎼
Has lost nothing with time... still thrilling to hear that fat bass and sparse double-chop straight out of the Black Ark studios. A masterpiece.
Reminds me of my hometown of port Glasgow,scotland
Classic indeed. Voice and lyrics. Thanks
Truly. Respex.
Rewind and Remember a true crowd pleaser.. ❤😊
Blazing a fat zoot to this song at a lake on this sunny day, one love !
I remember hearing this in "Lock,Stock,& Two Smoking Barrels", the part where the Hippie is walking through, puffin on a spliff, & inspecting the "magical trees". If you've seen that film, you know what I'm talking about. It took me back immediately. And no offense to Clash fans, but I'm gonna ALWAYS love this version by Mr. Murvin.
Bless up 🙏 2020🇯🇲♥️
Lock Stock resurrected this immortal track and it's remained a perennial favorite since. I first heard it in the late-70s when in high school. Always liked it; always will.
just saw lock stock again and came here :)
What is that
Gloria
Yes I know that's Gloria but what is that
Fertilizer
I sent you out hours ago to get a money counter and you came back with a comatose Gloria and a bag of fertilizer
@@Matthew-pf7sb 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 LOVE it!!! They showed that film at The Revue Cinema where I worked in Toronto, Canada. Since employees got FREE admission to any of the Cinemas owned by the Festival Theatre company, I took GOOD advantage of it, & brought as many of my friends in and got them all right into this movie. FREE popcorn and soda too.
Why would you be offending The Clash fans when this is the original?
Bought this when it came out classic 👏👏
Remember playing Scarface back in the day ... had all hits
Jajajajajajaja 😂🤣
Driving to the Little Havana Storehouse, Reggae Music Playlist, Bacinari. Good times.
Could listen to music while walking
GrandMotorCrime I need that game
Matthew Pincumbe hell yeah
Still great dread💪😎❤️
Classic. The Clash also did a great version of this.
On time real

LOVE IT...💛💛💛💛💛. THOSE SPLITS THOUGH...LOL I'M SO WEAK !
I also have muggers in the street same BEAT different lyrics but police and thieves holds so many memories for me !!,
It's Absolutely Pure Class 🇬🇧🇯🇲🕺🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
Apparently when it was first released, the cops hated this song because it equates them with the criminals. It's now played at almost every UK cop retirement party. How times change!
philistines on the land, Bingo KID, Bad Weed alsof same song different lyricus!!
Just as good as ever....
Very pertinent to today's goings on around th world
Gwaaaan❤💛💚
History repeats.
Yeahhh was 10 when this came out eishhh would rush to the 📻 put my ear to it proper😂😂😂what a gem
One of the best Reggie songs
3 seconds in and I'm feeling better
Ha... a real positive vibration, for sure!
R.I.P. my good friend can't forget those days that we would link up in Port Antonio.
Boss times with dem friend never leave with crucial music.
dat zal altijd blijven 2021!xxx top nummer tanks,
We need this words now more than ever!
What a voice.
I remember this well. We all sat down religiously gathering around our brand new Murphy Colour TV. We were the envy of our street.
Did it have the touch-tronic channel changer?
@@dreadINAbabylon No but it had "feather touch" channel changers.
My missis said to me the other day , times change but things remain the same .
This tune will never age 🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
Something way mi Dada use to sing and skanc to on Sunday morning when I was a child now am 25 and he still dose it ho the joy
Nice up de party your Dadda.
There's someone or something scaring the nation now!! Take maximum precautions, but to much media news etc will fry your brain. Coolest track ever , 76 💥💥💥
For sure--we need our old soundz now more than ever.
Just an incredible tune, cover version by The Clash is brilliant too.
Now that's a voice xx
Classics that lives on 💖💥💥🔥🔥🔥🔥
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽
U brown followed this train 🚂:))))
Good joint music, a two paperi hahaha
I've been looking for this song for years!!! I finally found you !! Yasss!!! Jammin hard!! All day!!
Right here right now police and thieves
And, as usual, it's supposed thieves getting the raw end of the stick.
Lee Perry is crucial to these classic hard hitting songs. Give thanks Jah Rasta fari for giving us such great souls and talent.
Respex to all the originators.
JAMAICAN MUSICIANS
WRITE MUSIC THAT IS REAL LYRICS! REAL LIFE!THAT GO ON AND ON!
NOTHING AS CHANGED
POLICE BRUTALITY IS STILL A SERIOUS CRIME IN JAMAICA!!
BRILLIANT SONG💖
WHAT A MASTERPIECE
And the Jamaicans write real message music with style.
First heard this song in 1981 ( i was 14yrs old in NZ ) @ the bottom of the world . Only just seen the artist sing this song NOW in 2024 ! Back then i always thought it was a female who sang this - hehe !!
I'm in Auckland as well, just a tad older than you. Song was first released in 1976 but when it appeared on the Rockers soundtrack in 1978 it gained traction on the international charts. This performance is from 1980 in Britain and that's when it had its best run.
TUNE WILL NEVER GET OLD!!!!! CLASSIC YES!
Westend Bikerz, RIP, Junior,
this is so good like everything
reminds of the notting hill carnival riot that year and i got knocked flying, very scary, never went again. shame.
I'm here, December 2020! What a year 😇🥰
MMXX can go to hell in a handbasket!
High five babe💖
From the first time I heard this song I have loved it and still love this song today blessings and respect 🎶🎶🎶❤️❤️❤️✌️✌️✌️⭐⭐⭐🙏🙏🙏🕊️🕊️🕊️
Respect, Sandra!
Was tye green youth centre I was 15-16 my life long love of reggae
Once you get that bug at an such an early age you'll always come back to the reggae to soothe your soul.
