Monumental Tubbys digi terror. Tougher than Lee Van Cleef. Heavier than lead and cold as ice.

The Treasure Isle masterwork… plus a sweetly rocking Tommy McCook.

Agony aunts Clifford Morrison and Dada Smith from The Bassies, with George Blake replacing Leroy Fischer, in 1969. Cornerstone moonstompers, both sides.

Superb, previously unreleased ska group-vocal, with Baba Brooks and co in fine form.

Ace early Tubbys digi — stripped and moody — with fine, amusing vocals.

Donovan Joseph leading this clattering, infectious 1994 do-over of the group’s late-eighties hit, calling all bus-drivers.

Lloyd Charmers, Alva Lewis, Glen Adams and the Barrett brothers, holding a candle for ska at the close of the 1960s. With a precious, uptempo, alternate take, on the flip.

Top-notch, super-soulful rocksteady.
With an alternate take.

Deeply zonked and moody variation on The Abyssinians’ classic, with a wicked blend of kit and machine drums. Rough.
