Triston Shout

 Some early 80s reggae to round off the week courtesy of Triston Palma.

"Joker Smoker" is the 12" version of the title track of Mr Palma's 1982 album produced by Jah Thomas. "Rub A Dub Session" is also from 1982 but comes from a different album called "Joker Lover" produced by Linval Thompson. There was clearly a lot of joking going on back then.

 Some of you may have connected the words 'reggae' and 'joker' and already asked yourself the question "He's not going to subject us to a dodgy overlong reggae version of 'The Joker' by Steve Miller is he?".

Of course he is.
