While the former Prime Minister’s politics divide opinion (to say the least), there is no denying his impact on the business of music in Jamaica. He certainly does not underestimate it himself. In today’s terms Seaga’s business practices would be termed “disruptive”. In his case, of the traditional “blank label” business. This, he suggests, opened the way for local music, and its eventual international success. As he tells Steve Barrow in this 1995 interview, he first approached music with the as an anthropological researcher in the 1950s, recording Jamaican folk music, both secular and religious. A Folkways recording followed, and then his own label, West Indies Records Ltd (WIRL). As an added bonus, you’ll find out the curious connection between “Beard Man Shuffle” and the JBC’s “Teenage Dance Party”. Essential viewing, illustrating the crucial connection between politics and music that, while not unique to the country, is essential to understanding it.

That one of the most colourful and influential producers and sound system operators started his professional career as a police marksman is perhaps less surprising in the context of Jamaican music than it might be elsewhere. Duke Reid certainly had a reputation that preceded him. Not surprising, a rather different side to the man is remembered by his widow in this 1994 interview. Mrs. Lucille (the “Dutchess”) Reid takes us through some of the key moments in a career which began with dances on Dummond Street and culminated in a string of undisputed classics for the legendary Treasure Isle label. Reggae historian Steve Barrow poses the questions while master lenseman Don Letts keeps the Dutchess in focus.

![Duke Vin interview [Part 1] [UNCUT]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/yAdAbSDl7-s/mqdefault.jpg "Duke Vin interview [Part 1] [UNCUT]
“When I came here the people were backward, they didn’t know anything. Seriously—I’m telling you”. It was England in the mid 1950s and what they didn’t know about (among other things) was the great Jamaican sound system tradition. As Vin tells it in this 2009 interview, it was his chance encounter with a 10” speaker box in Portobello Road that was to change all that, and thus permanently alter the UK’s musical landscape. The former selector for Jamaican sound system giant Tom the Great Sebastian came to dominate the sound clashes – or “competitions” – as he prefers. He recalls with particular relish the 1957 Lambeth Town Hall showdown with long time rival Count Suckle. His secret? “I play for the people”.
