For years now one of my secret weapons in the record box has been a fantastically strange old dancehall tune by General Degree called "Pot Cover" which is on the 400% Dynamite compilation on Soul Jazz. It's got a double-time beat and infectious bass with strange sounds on top that sound literally like the cover of a cooking pot being dropped down stairs, and MC's riding on top without so much as rhyming or flowing but chatting mostly indecipherable weirdness. It's a complete mystery to me and unlike anything else that I have managed to track down. Every time I play it people come up to me and ask what the fuck it is.
Does anybody know about this tune and how it came to be and more importantly if there are others like it???
