The class Spinners version for Lloyd Charmers, as featured on Darker Than Blue.

Tough roots, produced by Rod Taylor.

This is the original, way-superior version of the song redone for Island. The dub was a Shaka special.
Recorded by Dennis Harris in 1975 at Gooseberry Studios, in London’s Chinatown.
Ijahman remembers his unscripted performance ‘pouring out from inside’. Maybe the short spell he’d just spent at Her Majesty’s Pleasure has to do with it.

The same super heavyweight rhythm as Open The Gate Bobby Boy and Noel Phillips’ Youth Man… not forgetting the deadly Brixton Incident 12”, by Roy Rankin & Raymond Naptali.
Junior is playful, maybe a little dazed. The dub is killer; cavernous and moody.

All-time rocksteady murder.
The flip’s killer, too. ‘I don’t want no trouble now, no, no, no.’

Juggernaut version of the Four Tops, with Ike Bennett at the organ leading Ilya Kuryakin on the flip.

Brawny, get-onboard rocksteady, with nyabinghi drumming throughout — including a tasty break. A first sighting of Solomon, from Police And Thieves.

Heavyweight, apocalyptic Bunny, with a burial b-line, burning horns, masterful dub. By a mile the best thing on Blackheart Man.
