Dean Fraser – A Few Goes Boasting / Version

play A audio

play B audio

Scorcher (SS 1011)  USA  1983   EX

Produced by Junior Robinson & Calvin Cameron

what a tune !! Dean Fraser at his debut career, when he was not yet known as a saxophonist, but as a singer…

his two first songs were concrete castle king and a few goes a boasting,

which was recorded a few years after CCK, probably in the late 70’s for calvin cameron from the Uhuru label.

Though, the Uhuru pressing of this title is from the mid/late 80’s so that this issue is the first known print.

this is deep roots music !
