A reissue of Triston Palma's Joker Smoker, originally released in 1981. Angus Taylor of the BBC on Joker Smoker in 2008: "Triston Palma's (or Palmer as he was also known) Joker Smoker was notable not just for his praise of herb smoking (nothing new in reggae) but for it's sardonic appraisal of the moochers and chancers that those who live such a lifestyle are fated to encounter. It's continuing resonance was proven in 2006 when the Italian singjay and producer, Alborosie, released his own anthem, 'Herbalist', on the 'Joker Smoker' rhythm.... Joker Smoker was released in 1981, when reggae had become fascinated with it's own fundamentals: sparse reworkings of familiar rhythms, with pounding kick drums, simple plodding basslines, and effects laden, highly evocative guitar and keyboard lines. These tended to be played by the Roots Radics band who created all the backings for this disc, produced by the deejay Jah Thomas at the famous Channel One Studio. The received mainstream critical wisdom on this era is that it was a musical blind alley that necessitated the iconoclasm of hard dancehall later in the decade. But the captivating ambience and musical intricacies of a record like Joker Smoker show this up for the reductive nonsense that it is. Bingy Bunny's chopping rhythm guitar work, Sowell Bailey and Dwight Pinckney's plaintive, chorus laden, lead guitar phrasing, and the primordial, relentless drum and bass foundations laid down by Errol Holt and Style Scott are typical of a time when modern production techniques, live instrumentation, dancehall rhythms and rootical lyrics came together as one. But it is the small touches that really impress. These include Dean Fraser, Nambo Robinson and Deadly Headley Bennett's mocking horns (parodying Palma's dried honey vocals) on the title track, Gladstone Anderson's precisely considered, minimal piano, and percussionist Sky Juice's use of a cuica friction drum on 'Give Me Give Me Your Love'. 'Joker Smoker' may be the album's centre, but every one's a winner here. A perfect example of what was, in reality, a high point in reggae's golden age."

Perfect size for me!
Color: Black
I've had this bag for several months! It's in GREAT condition for the price that I got it for! I've had one maybe a couple stitches on the handle fray a little bit, but other than that it's holding up amazingly! Surprisingly it holds a lot, wallet, keys, small makeup bag, and a smaller bag for hair ties, pins, tampons and whatnot. It's very soft, the color doesn't fade! The material isn't hard leather, it's very maluable, making it fit wherever you put it, which is exactly what I was looking for. When this one eventually wears out, I'll 100% buy another one again because it's small and it matches every single one of my outfits!

Cute but cheaply made
Color: Black
I love this bag so much. However, I had to purchase twice because the first one broke due to the fabric on the inside catching on the zipper and when I tried to undo it, it ripped. The second bag still has problems with the zipper but it has stayed in good condition. The bag holds quite a lot and it’s really good. Overall I would say that bad is cheap but also lasts? Just be cautious of the zipper.

WORST PRODUCT I HAVE EVER BOUGHT- and I’m NOT picky.
Color: Black, Color: Black
DO NOT BUY. Genuinely the worst product I have ever bought. I’m not a picky person. But upon receiving this bag, I immediately felt iffy about the material of the bag. Then I opened it to get a whiff of a rancid fishy smell. As I’m not a picky person, and it was $20, I moved past these two immediate issues. My problem came on day 4 when the interior ripped. The material is so cheap it was not able to be sewn to be fixed. I was irritated, but was able to move on from even this. Day 6 of use was the final straw for me. The zipper got caught and completely stuck on the ripped material. While trying to wiggle it, the tab to pull the zipper came off. While again trying to get it open by hand, the zipper ripped completely open and part of the zipper track came off. This is THE MOST DISAPPOINTING ITEM I HAVE EVER BOUGHT. Absolutely DO NOT RECOMMEND. DO NOT GET THIS BAG. I don’t even want to give this one star.

SO MUCH SPACE AND IS SO CUTE
Color: Black, Color: Black
I LOVE this bag. To give you an idea, yeah duh it’s cute whatever. BUT let me tell you I brought this to an all day race event and fit my (large) wallet, 2 pairs of sunglasses, all of my lippies, AND NOT ONE BUT TWO FULL BOTTLES OF COKE!!! And it still zipped. Insane amount of space in this thing and it’s so cute too. 10/10 would recommend and I’m buying it in the khaki color too!
