From 1982 — with the Roots Radics and Jah Thomas at Channel One.

Sweet Stalag business.

Great to have the Saxon man back, in top form on this slug of nasty NW1 digi.

The great UK MC retrieves his war chest from the potting shed.
An expert, moody Tuff Scout re-lick, with a haunting new vibes part and lethal effects.

The greatest UK MC of them all, setting fire to Tempo.
Soundboy willies. Do it Jah.
Amenably sick, synthy dub.

The Treasure Isle masterwork… plus a sweetly rocking Tommy McCook.

Don’t miss the rocking steady Bacharach & David on the flip.

Killer, full-steam-ahead, Channel One rub a dub, with startling effects, produced by Bebo Phillips and Clive Jarrett.

Tough, lovelorn rock steady, with tasty organ asides. The flip is a lovely revive of the signature tune of the great JA calypsonian Lord Flea, bossed here by Lennie Hibbert.

Great early-eighties Channel 1 excursion on the same version of DEB’s Revolution rhythm as Barrington Levy’s Black Rose.
