RIP Smiley Culture

Sad to hear about the death during a police raid of Smiley Culture – ironically best known for his 1984 reggae/proto ragga hit ‘Police Officer’ with Saxon Soundsystem about the ‘sus’ stop and search laws – shame that unlike the funny end of the song this police intervention had a far sadder ending. 🙁

And here’s a download link for my favourite Smiley Culture mashup, the excellent Pilchard ‘Grumpy Culture’ from 2005, remixing Police Officer in a jungle stylee…interestingly someone has err ‘borrowed’ or reinvented the same idea – original is best though. Enjoy.

And if you only know Cockney Translation or Police Officer – check out the more underground b-side – Shan a Shan – classic dancehall reggae:
