Two songs from the Weh Dem Fah album — Wicked Can’t Run Away and Sleng Teng excursions.

Riding a new version of killer Roy Dobson roots with the lyrics of his Photographer classic… but actually it’s the flute-led dub which does it for us.

Classic lonely-lover rocksteady, led by Tony Brevett, with the group on the rebound from Treasure Isle. A young Trinity rides out on the flip.

Tough, dismissive, soundboy digi. A King Tubby dubplate from 1986.

Black Ark business.

Rasta Cowboy excursion.

Hurting, heartfelt sufferers about youth unemployment in hard times.
Our favourite of these three new Jah Lifes from Digikiller.
All three run the same ruff digi rhythm, stripped and venomous on the flip.
All three are previously unreleased.

‘Reggae is a vision. Reggae is the word that hits at the heartstrings the mind can’t control. I and I get the message of Rastafari out through reggae. It is the black music line of message to the world. It is the black Rastaman line of message to the world. It is the metaphorical Black Star Line’ (Ras Michael).
