This ya sound it a real murdera!

I found a really scratchy copy of "Hold Yu Corner" a couple of weeks ago and was very glad just to know about it from that copy. I lucked into a clean 45 of it today, so now I can enjoy listening to a playable copy.

It's from '87, has a passionate singer with the very Jamaican name of "Everton," and is catchy in tune, chorus and verses. The lyrics eloquently take pleasure in the music itself and of course do a fair bit of boasting at the same time. It seems that in this era of JA music, the early digital times of the mid-80's, many of the best tunes have at least a bit of the soundbwoy boast in them. In this case the bragging is well justified, so take a listen.
