Here's a cd single from Rotterdam reggae group Delidel Touch.... The guys I was working for from the beginning of '92 till the end of '96 helped putting this cd out, they were real reggae freaks, every year we would go and see concerts by Burning Spear and Israel Vibration, seen both acts a bunch of times.... The plants you see on the back cover in the green house, well, I put those into the ground with my then and still best friend S., we would live in a small camper in the forest somewhere in the North East of Holland for months on end, guarding the green house at night, check the plants for fungus and other pests at sun up and sleep most of the day. Often back-breaking work but we loved it. The hardest job was when, in the middle of winter we had to go there, the boss pointed to a mountain of pipes and hoses and said "this is a ground heating system, that's the ground, see you in three weeks", they wanted to do an experiment, see if we would get a bigger crop if you planted months early (you don't), so for weeks we dug trenches, burried pipes and hoses, in frozen ground. Turn on the tap, see water rising and start digging again, in frozen ground.... Loads of adventures that now, almost 30 years later I still can't talk about on a blog, but God, those were the days.... I did the green house for about two years or so, in between working in a cafe and doing dj jobs and then I did loads of stuff for them back home, in Rotterdam for a few years, till the end of '96 when I went on a back pack trip to Indonesia and never left....
Here's the same plants but a little while later :)
Anyway, here's the cd:
