When Prince Buster had a big underground hit in 1969 with " Big 5 ", Hughes capitalized on it with the recording of his own " Big Six ", based on Verne & Son's " Little Boy Blue ", which was picked up by Trojan boss Lee Gopthal, and released on Trojan's ' Big Shot ' record label under the stage name Judge Dread, the name taken from another of Prince Buster's songs.
" Big Six " reached # 11 in the UK Singles Chart in 1972, selling over 300, 000 copies and spending six months on the chart, despite getting no radio airplay due to its lyrics.
Further hit singles followed with " Big Seven " ( co-written by Rupie Edwards ) and " Big Eight " — both following the pattern of lewd versions of nursery rhymes over a reggae backing — as well as " Y Viva Suspenders " and " Up With The Cock ".
