JB is the name the deejay Trinity uses when he sings. Here he is, nailing a sombre, mid-tempo bubbler for Sly and Robbie; alongside General Lee, laid-back and entertaining on Unmetered Taxi. Classic, rootical, early-nineties rubadub.

Buoyant anthem to ghetto people boutiques.
You can get anything on Princess Street, ‘from a pin to an anchor… Just have some cash, and you will conquer.’ Not like Orange Street, which is always getting shut down by plod.
Transfixingly stone-faced dub, for all hard-core Channel One massive.

A kind of Dennis Brown / Studio One cut-up. Written by Junior Brammer and Jah Life, according to the label. Talk about taking it easy.

Extended, with dubs.

Heavyweight killer Late Night Blues excursion, with King Tubby.

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.

Re-formatting the 1984 Island 10”. Sly and Robbie runnings, with Trouble You A Trouble Me and World-A-Music.

The Blues Buster showing his gospel roots in this superb, soaring version of the Sam Cooke, with support from Bobby Aitken and the Carib Beats.
Backed with some bumptious ska, led by Val Bennett.

Heavy, heavy early-eighties roots, mixed by King Tubby.

Luxuriant, mesmerizing Black Ark classics.

Black Ark recording.

Nine minutes of Tuff Gong jazzy dread, set to the b-line Bunny copped for Amagideon.

Limber, improvisational twelve-minute version, never before released, complete with an instrumental cut.

First time out for this plaintive roots, recorded at Tuff Gong in 1979, and featuring Wailer Al Anderson’s fine acoustic guitar playing.

Startling digi do-over of Yabby You’s great Jesus Dread rhythm, with a driving, tumping dub and sermonizing keys. Mis-credited to Phillip Fraser on the label.

Horatian worries on the wicked E20 rhythm.

Highly recommended — previously unreleased digi fire from the same sessions and mould as He Was A Friend.

Tough, late-80s UK steppers, with a Mad Professor dub.
