SISTER NANCY’S “BAM BAM” RETURNS ON SOLID GOLD VINYL
Sister Nancy’s iconic reggae anthem “Bam Bam” is now available on 7” vinyl and sounds better than ever. This fresh, remastered edition of the legendary dancehall track now features a heavy dub version mixed at King Tubby’s, pressed on stunning ‘Solid Gold’ vinyl.
In 1982, Sister Nancy recorded “Bam Bam” at Harry J’s Recording Studio, inspired by Yellowman’s version of Toots & The Maytals’ classic.
Although it didn’t gain traction in Jamaica, the track exploded globally after appearing in Hype Williams’ 1998 film Belly.
THIS CRUCIAL DANCEHALL CLASSIC IS STILL CELEBRATED
Since then, “Bam Bam” has become a soundtrack staple, featured in films, TV shows, and video games like Ozark and Dexter.
Music legends like Lauryn Hill, Beyoncé, and Kanye West have sampled it, and Rolling Stone named it one of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
More than 40 years later, this crucial dancehall classic is back in the spotlight. A new documentary celebrates Sister Nancy’s impact on music, featuring stars like Janelle Monáe and Kool Herc.
With its latest release on 7” vinyl, backed by the original “Stalag 17” riddim, fans can once again experience the magic of “Bam Bam.” This limited edition is a must-have for any reggae lover.
