Artefact
Another quirky thing about a lot of reggae artists particularly toasters/ mike chanters is, in the 70's/80's they often took their names from spaghetti western or martial arts films, kinda tacky but good. So you had Josey Wales, Trinity, Ringo, Lee Van Cleef, Dillinger, Lone Ranger, Clint Eastwood; later Ninjaman, Bounty Killer and so on...obviously anti-heroes and outlaws who were above and beyond the law...... funny really. Also there were a series of sci-fi and horror related albums such as "Scientist Meets the Space Invaders", "Prince Jammy Destroys the Invaders", "Scientist Rids the World of the Evil Curse of the Vampires" and so on; all worth having for the artwork on the sleeves alone....
