Late-eighties Callo Collins production of the Youth Promotion cohort.

Aka Olive Grant — the same Senya who broke through at Randys in 1974 with Oh Jah Come and Children Of The Ghetto — with The Wailers backing.

This beautiful acoustic cut is previously unissued. Raw soulful lovers, with close-harmony backing, and double bass and guitar as irresistible as Egyptian Reggae. Terrific.

Anthony Maher’s 1988 dub album, an Australian commingling of JA science and UK post-punk and Industrial.

The Don in full flight over late-nineties Bunny Gemini. Plus a Yami Bolo, and both dubs.

Gospelised roots, produced by Delroy Collins in the late 1990s, with mixes by the Disciples.

Excellent mid-seventies roots by this singer from Jack Ruby’s Hi Fi.

Second, 1982 album by the loose collective, featuring Prince Far I, Bim Sherman and Jah Woosh, and members of the Roots Radics, Slits and Glaxo Babies. ‘Heavy dread vibes, earthquaking dub and classic deejay chatter, recorded in the flash, heat and studio experimentation of post-punk London.’
With a 24” x 12” fold-out poster insert and digital download card.

Including a killer mix of Homeward Bound, the Creation Steppers’ blazing update of The Skatalites’ Confucius; a heavy Spear and a heavier Fred Locks (with Reggae Reggae Sauce rocking the mic).

Killer roots detournement of Georgia Turner‘s dread blues about a New Orleans brothel, to the tune of a seventeenth-century English folk song, by way of Bob Dylan, Nina Simone and The Animals.
Bunny Gale revives another folk song on the flip — Dead Man’s Chest — via The Viceroys’ classic Studio One outing.
