A chacteristically up-for-it and punchy next cut of the Yabby You, with a concussive dub; first out in the mid-eighties.

Deep Berlin steppers. Dubwise traces of our original Lagos recording — the percussion of Yinka Ogunye, the singing of fifties palmwine legend Rolling Dollar, Oscar Olimbi’s guitar lick — blend in with Moritz’ own warm Oberheim voicings, additional drumming, and cool-and-deadly rhythm track. It’s a tough, masterly dance record in fine Rhythm And Sound style (evoking vintage House, too) — which during its ten-and-a-half minutes seems to ponder time elapsed and journeys undertaken.
Reggae Land Dub is the thumping, pared-down dub of Wareika Hill Sounds’ rootical rework of Ise Nla. Magnificent trombone and percussion; expert, classical JA mixing. Brings to mind the versions of Black Man Stand Up Pan Foot.

Like a dream, but authoritatively, this remix from Jamaica magnificently crosses the Afrobeat of Fela Kuti with the grounation reggae tradition of Count Ossie.

With Dub Judah.

Two all-time ska masterpieces: back-to-back fire.

Tremendous, previously-unreleased takes of ska instrumentals by the Soul Brothers.
Rolando Al luxuriating in jazz; a Tommy McCook cha cha cha.

A Skatalites charger and a jolt of vintage Ethiopian ska rumpus.

Killer deep ska, superbly led by Roland A. Backed with the Black Brothers’ rude boy anthem, Born To Rule.

Two jazz burners.
A shuffling, r&b version of a Lerner & Loewe tune from Brigadoon, by way of Nat King Cole.
Plus an instrumental one-away featuring Baba Brooks, Roland Alphonso and Lester Sterling. One of the reed players puts his foot in it, with a squawk, but who cares. Guess that’s why it’s previously unreleased and such a precious release now.

Crucial version of the Horace; with a nice minor-key flip.

Head-to-head Bunny-Lee-supervised knees-up-mother-browns.
