Nora Dean
Produced by Duke Reid in 1969, Nora Dean's
'Ay Ay Ay' (sometimes titled 'Angie La La)
is one of the stranger records to fall under
the reggae banner. The vocal is odd and
disconcerting, full of squawks, whistles and
ticks, while the tune itself has a
claustrophobic arrangement that wouldn't
seem out of place in a Mulatu Astatke
release from the same period. Once heard,
never forgotten.
