We have a stripped down Single Song Sunday for you today. Severely stripped down - just the Mandatory Reggae Version. It is a Lee 'Scratch' Perry production of "How Deep Is Your Love" credited to The Inamans.
I know nothing about The Inamans. There is an online rumour that this gentleman was the inspiration for their name but it seems unlikely.
According to Discogs they only ever released one side of a single, with Dillinger on the other side, and this was not it. It seems this track was only ever released on a compilation called "Black Ark Volume 2", which came out in 1981 but was reissued a few years ago by VP Records.
Confusingly the reissue credits the whole album to Black Ark Players not the individual artists and changes the album title to "Black Ark in Dub Volume 2", possibly in an effort to trick people into buying it thinking it is a different record.
"How Deep Is Your Love" - The Inamans
Here is the original version, with Swedish subtitles.
Thank you Ernesto for sharing the HeeBeeGeeBee's. They made an album in 1981 covering any style with their unique humor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SA4NVvBmWc&list=PLHGr8cnkDbG1HUaaoQlJ7w6U6l4fEGVE6&index=2
ReplyDeleteErnie, you're making fun of one of my favourite bands and my favourite ever love song. Quite like the cover though. You're excused.
