First time out for both sides, including dubs.

At his best in this call-to-arms, originally released on Black Art in 1977; but it’s all about Lee Perry’s genius at the desk. Stunning dub.

Honest Jon’s presents Mark Ernestus from Rhythm And Sound spinning 45s alongside DJ Pete from Substance and Scion Versions, with a live set from Sleeparchive.

Vinyl from Music On Vinyl.

Joyous, anthemic, nyabinghi defiance. The masterful Leonard Dillon on song, beautifully backed by Stephen Taylor. Back-weh horns, twinkling hi-hats, perky piano. Yet more Niney genius. Ace, Tubbys-style dub.

First time out for this Paragon’s feeling excursion on the same Java re-lick as Roman Stewart’s Rain A Fall.

King Culture roots missile much-favoured by bombardier Shaka.

Deeply zonked and moody variation on The Abyssinians’ classic, with a wicked blend of kit and machine drums. Rough.

With Culture.

Further excursions on Black Oney’s Jah Jah Send The Parson rhythm. Far I rides a stripped dub (originally for a Carib Gems LP); the straighter Oney return was first released in a tiny run of blanks.

The commanding, concussive first LP of the Voice of Thunder, from 1976, chanting psalms and prayers over tough Lloydie Slim productions, mostly with the Aggrovators. (Plus a seemingly random Upsetters rhythm.)
‘Those who have ears to hear, let them hear.’
It’s a must.
