Fans of the Staple Singers and Stax Records will recognize note one of this one — from their big hit ‘I’ll Take You There’. This Reggae classic is attributed to the Harry J All Stars — a Trojan studio band who cut the track in 1969. The origins of the instrumental are disputed amongst Reggae royalty: some say the song was originally a base for a vocal number for Tony Scott. The great Alton Ellis claims the song borrows liberally from his hit ‘Girl I’ve Got A Date’. Regardless ‘The Liquidator’ has stood the test of time as one of Reggae’s classic singles.
