THROWBACK THURSDAY: Junior Murvin's Timeless Treasure, "Badman Possee" Echoes the Sound of Rebellion
“I first heard the legendary, Junior Murvin’s unique voice when I was a teenager, watching the classic film “Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels”.
Daily Reggae is launching a new segment, Throwback Thursday, where once a month we will be looking back through reggae's history and highlighting classic albums and artists.
“I loved that film, and would rewind the VHS many times to watch the scenes I liked, but also to hear the tracks. Junior Murvin’s unforgettable classic song, “Police and Thieves” was featured on that film, and with my curiosity to Reggae music growing, I was mesmerised by that song.
Murvin’s hypnotic voice combined with that captivating riddim hypnotised me.
Despite Junior Murvin’s “Badman Possee” being released in 1982, unbelievable only this year, I stumbled upon it. “
