Big Joe

b. Joseph Spalding, c.1955, Kingston, Jamaica, West Indies. Big Spalding started his recording profession in the first 70s. His preliminary sessions had been with Harry Mudie, when he slice ‘Run Woman’, ‘Woodcutter Skank’ and ‘Dark Stick Rock and roll’. In 1973, with Lloyd Daley, he documented ‘Glitter Not Platinum’, relating the aphorism to everyday activity in Jamaica. With maker Winston Edwards he documented ‘Weed Professional’, ‘Hog Inna Minty’ and ‘Selassie Skank’. The second option was released in the united kingdom through Dennis Harris’ Drop label and led to his biggest strike. The music recalled the festivities generated from the stop by at Jamaica of Haile Selassie, making use of Roman Stewart’s ‘Try Me’ tempo. Following his classes with Winston Edwards, Big Joe relocated to Studio room One, where he documented ‘Obtain Out Baldhead’, ‘Crimson Rob’ along with a DJ edition of Larry Marshall’s ‘Nanny Goat’ entitled ‘Nanny Edition’. Further strikes surfaced, reuniting him with Daley and Jackie Dark brown, before Big Joe setup his personal productions and label. He also went his own Little Axe Hi Fi audio system, playing locations such as for example Chocomo’s Yard and Jubilee Yard. He continued documenting through to the first 80s, enjoying strikes with ‘Dignity And Primary’ as well as the Bunny Lee -created ‘Out Of View Out Of Brain’.
