Terrific, resilient, rootical lovers, with backing by the Revolutionaries, recorded in the late-seventies by Sonia Pottinger for Sky Note. The same rugged rhythm as Clifton Campbell’s
A New Civilisation, devastatingly contrasted with the sweetness and vulnerability of the singing.
The legendary digital destroyer in all its original glory, including the dub; and another murderous King Culture unveiled — soulful and limber. A double-headed ronto from Toronto. Killer.
Soulful, enraptured excursion on God I God I Say, with a lovely melodica dub.
Knockout eco-roots. Shaka liked it so much he put it out himself.
Two excellent, righteous vocal cuts to a tough, downtempo, rootical rhythm, in a brief respite from dancehall at Tubby’s HQ.
Latest in Dub Store’s lip-smacking series of Firehouse dub plates.
Heavy Lloydie Coxsone production (with Sly, Horsemouth, Malawi, Bagga, Chinna, McCook and the rest), featuring Shaka favourites like Homeward Bound and Voice Of The Poor. Tougher than the classic Black Star Liner album.
The original Randy’s version is a desert island disc — and nearly twenty years later this a magnificent do-over by way of the Black Ark, originally released by Tony Owens’ Seven Leaves, in Kensal Rise.
Leading with trumps, this was first in Rhythm And Sound’s crucial Wackies reissue programme. Consummate lovers rock by cousins Sonia Abel and Claudette Brown, originally from Brixton. Stone classic Bullwackies.
1990 digi killer by Leicester’s finest, originally out on the Japanese Tachyon label run by Bullwackies cohort Sonny Ochiai. Classic.
