Pressure Sensitive by Ronnie Laws

[LeoWindhorse]

I remember when I first heard this song . It was back in 73 or 74 and Bob Marley was on his first major US tour . I got to see him live in S.B. California . At around the same time as Bob was firing up the American awareness of this unbelievably cool music , reggae , the movie started circulating “ The Harder They Come The Harder They Fall “ starring another reggae music great , Jimmy Cliff . Soon after , the sound track was available , as a record . I bought one right away of course and that’s where I first grooved to Toots and the Maytals ,who had several of their songs on the song track . Pressure Drop was one .
Another great tune was “ Rivers of Babylon “ by the Melodians , which like a lot of the early reggae music those days was basically straight out of Psalms ( or other Biblical verses or references ) Here is that ,lovely tune - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDYAqz603TE

Beyond all this I can only say “ Jah Rastafari ‘

“At last”. Ever since Obama conflated himself with that song it cranks up my blood pressure. My least favorite song. I’d rather hear “It’s a small world”.

I didn't know Obama identified with that song or that he was a fan of Glenn. Sorry, but you're about to hear your least favorite song yet again!

At Last--Glenn Miller & His Orchestra (1942)

High Blood Pressure--Huey "Piano" Smith (1958)

Push, Push--Austin Taylor (1960)

Cool. “Pressure Cooker” (the song) is an instrumental that musically describes the object. Normally, I’m more of a “lyrics” listener, but I can really “dig” this sort of music too.

The original was a Sheffield Lab “direct to disc” recording. Ie., they cut the master disc as the musicians were playing. It takes a lot of talent to get something like that so “right”. If you listen carefully, you can hear a channel (on the mixing board, I assume) being cut in. But the live quality with still high quality sound and great dynamics is terrific. With the CD on a system that tends toward brashness at high levels, it may sound a little, well, “brash”, as live brass musical instruments often do. Off the LP, on a neutral system with low distortion & plenty of output capacity, it’s like you are there in the studio. I play the LP once a year or so, so I can “remember”. :-)

Do be aware though, if you are not already, that You Tube does not convey that kind of recorded quality...

I do not think this album is from 1957

I don't recall a group called Queen that was active in 1957. There was a group from Los Angeles called the Teen Queens which was popular at that time and another called the Queens, also from LA, that was active somewhat earlier.

Oop Shoop--The Qeens(1954)

Rock, Everybody--The Teen Queens (1957)
