VPAL Music issued it, and the disc carries a reproduction of the Techniques Records label — 85 West Street, Kingston, Jamaica, \"Produced by W. Riley\" — with the publishing credited to Prophesy Music and the song to O. Russell and W. Riley. The sleeve is printed in black on white: the title in a heavy brush face, a halftone photograph of Sister Nancy, scattered stars and the words 45 R.P.M. in the lower left corner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSister Nancy recorded \"Bam Bam\" in 1982 at Channel One for the producer Winston Riley, and it appeared on her album \u003cem\u003eOne Two\u003c\/em\u003e the same year. The chorus takes its phrase from a 1966 song of the same name by Toots and the Maytals and Byron Lee and the Dragonaires. The backing is Ansell Collins' \"Stalag 17,\" cut in 1974 and since reused across Jamaican music more often than almost any other rhythm; the B-side here is a version of that instrumental, credited to Collins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShe was born Ophlin Russell in Papine, on the eastern edge of Kingston, and began performing at fourteen, encouraged by her brother Brigadier Jerry. She worked Kingston's sound-system circuit at a point when women deejays were rare, and it was General Echo's notice that brought her to Riley.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2016 \u003cem\u003eBillboard\u003c\/em\u003e called the song \"a strong contender for the title of most sampled reggae song of all time.\" The BBC has described it as a well-known reggae anthem and \u003cem\u003eThe Observer\u003c\/em\u003e as a classic, and \u003cem\u003eRolling Stone\u003c\/em\u003e placed it among its 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. VP Records lists Lauryn Hill, Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Rihanna and Groove Armada among the artists who have sampled or referenced it, and the recording has appeared in \u003cem\u003eNo Time to Die\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eOzark\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eDexter\u003c\/em\u003e. Sister Nancy received no royalties for the song for thirty-two years; she sought legal advice in 2014, and the settlement gave her compensation for the previous ten years and half the rights to her own record.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide A\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBam Bam - Sister Nancy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide B\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col start=\"2\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStalag 17 (Version) - Ansell Collins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 673405227473\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vp Records\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10.3.25\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7\" Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"VPAL Music","offers":[{"title":"NEW \/ NEW","offer_id":67524353032350,"sku":"EVP-72108B60-NEW-NEW-NONE0000","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/8801\/1422\/files\/BamBam1__39013.1759433089.webp?v=1792764172","url":"https:\/\/evergreenvinyl.com\/products\/sister-nancy-bam-bam-black-7-inch","provider":"Evergreen Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
