Carey & Lloyd

Carey & Lloyd

Carey ‘Wild Man’ Johnson and Lloyd Young

were probably the first deejay duo. You can

only say probably because you have Dennis

Alcapone and Lizzie. And although both

duos were successful, when it comes to

combination deejaying Carey and Lloyd had

the edge.

Most people came across them on ‘Come

Down’ a deejay version of ‘Come Down’

from The Maytals. It represents the only

deejay cut of a Maytals tune!!! Think about

that.. All the big hits that the Maytals had

over the years and this is the only deejay

version of one of their tunes.

Another remarkable tune from the duo was

‘Down Side Up’, the deejay cut of Joe Higgs

‘The World Is Upside Down’. Once again it

may be the only deejay cut of a Joe Higgs

tune. Also included in this fantastic selection

are tunes from the deejays alone. Lloyd

Young ‘Butter And Bread’ and Carey

Johnson’s ‘Born A Winner’ is deejaying at its

very best!

On their own or in combination these two

could ride a rhythm - and make it jump! They

had a style and fashion all of their own. It

was appreciated at the time - hopefully it will

be appreciated now .
