@mxtthxw well Wikipedia says Rupie Edwards is an ‘is’ not a ‘was’, so there’s hope, if anyone knows how to get in touch I can pass on the phone number of Bongo Herman in Jamaica (who Wikipedia also says is an ‘is’ not a ‘was’) about a decade too late (if the number’s still the same)!

I really regret losing that business card all this time until a year or so ago…

@mxtthxw I remember when I was young the year before I’d left for Papua New Guinea and Australia for four years I was buying a lot of singles as a teenager and I bought Rupie Edwards’ singles that got in the charts at the time (nobody else I knew at school found it interesting, I was on my own there)

My wife and I have been living where we are in London for coming up to 24 years now and she and I take the train to go shopping now and then at Dalston market (she’s Jamaican so lots of Jamaican food ingredients there) and about oh 15 years ago or so maybe more I stumbled into a little record shop on Ridley Road with an old Jamaican guy in there and there were lots of Rupie Edward’s records on the wall, I mentioned to him that I bought those records when I was a teenager – turned out he was Rupie Edwards! My wife and I came back to say hello now and then, I took a few pics on my Mamiya C330 (she didn’t really know who he was to be honest)

The record shop has been gone over ten years, no idea what’s happened to him, if he’s still around, but when we went to Jamaica last time or the time before we went to Bob Marley’s old house and I met Bongo Herman there and mentioned Rupie Edwards and he knew him, so he gave me his business card with his phone number and said if I see Rupie again to tell him to call Bongo

Like an idiot I lost the card for over a decade, only just found it about a year ago – possibly too late for the both of those old men, I regret
