    • Sister Nancy – Stalag Version
    • 1. Bam Bam
    • 2. Stalag Version

    Another must have roots dancehall gem from 1985, the stalag riddim' still going strong among today's digital fans. Flipside is an instrumental, the pure stalag version. A VP dancehall classic. Nancy was the first woman to perform at Reggae Sunsplash, a Jamaican reggae festival, and the first woman Jamaican DJ to tour internationally. The song's chorus has been sampled, remixed, covered, and interpolated in several songs after its release. This hook is in fact sampled from the 1965 song of the same title by the Maytals.

    Sampled by the great and the good incl. Main Source, Pete Rock, Gang Starr, Lion of Judah (Congo Natty), Lauryn Hill, Madlib, Groove Armada, Dj Defkline (Deekline), Ed Solo, Stylo G, Jay-Z and many, many more!
