On a bubblers rework of Mudie’s Love Without Feeling.

A late-eighties Bunny Lee production originally released on the Imperial label in Canada, with Rhythm Twins excursions on Death In The Arena, Love Me Forever, My Conversation, Roots Natty Congo, Storm…

Three the hard way — the Don at the mic, Roots Radics, Scientist — in the early eighties. Previously unreleased.

Blazing start and great delivery, but rather treading water over killer late-80s digi.
Same vintage as his massive Dangerous hit for Redman. Not to mention the more voluble Don’t Touch The Crack by Dignitary Stylish.
Zinging with raw dubplate-style presence, like the other two 45s on this rhythm.

Trump-card trumpet version of Joyride, aka Riding West.

Even leaving aside the epochal title track, this is unmissable. Wildly original Jammys rhythms, cool as cucumber, with his old next-door-neighbour in full flow. Fire like E20, Like A Dragon, My Lord My God, Icky All Over…

Classic, feel-good, disco-friendly Lovers Rock from 1980. Sonia is so happy she sings to herself.

Titfers off for Frankie Beverly. Don.

The third, 1980 LP of this vocal trio led by Trevor Bow. Recorded at Treasure Isle with expert backing by the Negus Dawtus, Family Man, Chinna, Rico…

Hard to resist Junior Murvin in this teasing, saucy mood, on a lovely nyabinghi rocksteady rhythm.
With an alternate take.
