I’ve been on a bit of a break from ripping stuff since my record needles were trashed, finally got one new one today though. To make up for the absence, I’m going to post a couple of bits in semi-quick succession over the next couple of days. Starting it off, here’s a kind of hard-to-find ragga jungle bit, which was later released in remix form on Greensleeves. The remixes were on a couple of ragga jungle comps as well… I know I’ve got the Greensleeves press somewhere in my record shelves but can’t seem to find it right now, so here’s the original. The production is noticeably rougher than on the 95 remix EP, but I still dig this version the most – it has a melodic ragga sample saying “like jumping” (which hopefully Mr. Droid can ID), which is absent from the remix.

Action Man – Sleeping Lion
Sounds a bit like Tommy Mccook – Down On Bond Street, but with vocals. Maybe they sampled a different track by the same artist?
Got it! its Marcia Griffiths – Feel Like Jumping 🙂
good catch!

This is great, Pete. Thank you!
Missed this one. Freaky2UK is right about the Marcia. The ‘Jump Up’ is sampled from the Admiral Bailey tune of the same name. ‘Ting a ling’ is Shabba.
