Can’t bubble, can’t cook, can’t even dress properly.

Exclusive mixes of key versions in the TS mission so far, dub-plate style.

Tough, thumping Jammys from 1989, with expert falsetto singing from CT.

Lovely trodding-on steppers.

What a record. The studio debut of the mighty Daddy U-Roy in 1969, sparring with Val Bennett over Old Fashioned Way, both of them wigging out like a couple of beboppers, with the ghost of John Holt on the backing tape. “The studio is kinda cloudy,” reports U-Roy — and everyone sounds lit but utterly inspired. Pure vibes.
“My first tune I ever do was Dynamic Fashion Way with Keith Hudson, and then I do Earth’s Rightful Ruler for Scratch. Those tunes didn’t get very far, them sell a couple hundred.”
Cornerstone stuff. Show some respect and chuck your bootleg.

Brilliant, heavyweight, daft-as-a-brush Niney. Genius.

Tough dub counterpart to The Heptones’ Better Days set.

Unmissable rocksteady: a magnificent version of the Curtis; and a hard-rocking Never Let Me Go.
