Knockout eco-roots. Shaka liked it so much he put it out himself.

Total murder.
Bernard Brown, Carlton Gregory, and Noel ‘Bunny’ Brown (from the Chosen Few), originally on the April imprint out of NYC in 1978.
Steppers paranoia par excellence.

Ravishing black harmony roots; cheerfully apocalyptic, rhythmically swinging and buoyant, with bubbling horns and stripped dub. It’s a must.

A militant steppers — reminiscent of Johnny Clarke’s Blood Dunza — with magnificent trombone-playing by Vin Gordon. Shaka fire. Ace.

Ishu and Xylon from Sound Iration, produced by Manasseh for Youth Sound in 1990. Quality digi UK steppers, with a nice melodica version, and a hollowed-out dub.

Aka Clive Hylton, alongside Russ D from The Disciples.
Shaka business, also much favoured by Aba Shanti.

Total murder!
A stealth-weapon version of the classic tune — same sublime Gregory, plus fatter-than-your-mama trombone by Vin Gordon, and evilous Niney dub.
Dennis Brown and Dillinger incinerate the B-side, too… Jah Is Watching / Flat Foot Hustling.
Unmissable.

Fab Phang chugger. Barrington kills it; grooving dub.

Ace, driving, digital roots, with a lethal dub.
Reggae veteran Dennis Fearon lends a hand.
