{"product_id":"pumping-in-knock-on-wood","title":"Pumping In \/ Knock on Wood","description":"\u003cp\u003eUp tempo Early Reggae \/ Boss Sound,. pressed on 7” vinyl for the first time. About \u003ci\u003ePumping It.\u003c\/i\u003e Original Release Year: 1970 Sometimes mistitled \u003ci\u003ePuping In\u003c\/i\u003e, this song original release is a bit of a mystery... As far as we can track, it was published for the first time on the 2013 compilation Alton Ellis \u003ci\u003eMr Soul Of Jamaica \u003c\/i\u003eon the Treasure Isle label and on two CD compilations on the Doctor Bird label and that’s it. This cracking up-tempo track from 1970 has a heavy guitar work, a killer organ and some real gutsy vocals to boot. The sound and rhythm are quite different from Ellis previous songs and, sign of time, have a distinctive Boss Reggae feel and it really rocks! \u003ci\u003ePumping In\u003c\/i\u003e is an absolute gem that has been badly overlooked up to now. About\u003ci\u003e Knock on Wood\u003c\/i\u003e. Original Release Year: 1972\u003ci\u003e Knock on Wood\u003c\/i\u003e, the Eddy Floyd mega hit, has been covered several times by Alton previously, in a brilliant but rather conservative way. This version though was produced by Joe Gibbs and is totally different. It featured on 2 compilations LPs in 1969 and 1973 but was never issued on a 7\" vinyl previously. In the same vein as \u003ci\u003ePumping In\u003c\/i\u003e but slower, this killer track is a rough, tough reggae cover of the Soul anthem featuring unbelievable vocals from Alston, and a distinctly Boss Sound production from Joe Gibbs. Thrilling! \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harlem Shuffle Records","offers":[{"title":"Black | 7\"","offer_id":50452636238155,"sku":"1096734","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/9f2027c4-25a9-43ae-81d2-0fae96f88d5a_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727159121","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/pumping-in-knock-on-wood","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
