Fierily imperious roots from 1998, for Opera House. With Mikey General and a dub; and a show-stealing toast from label-boss Buccaneer.
Lovely, wheezing roots, with the same charming frankness and male vulnerability as Jux’ She’s Gonna Marry Me.
Great tunes to spin at wedding parties (cut with Pablo’s Bells Of Death).
Recorded under the name Bumpy Jones, for Jerry Brown’s Summer label in Toronto (same Upsetters family tree as Bullwackies and Half Moon).
Ramshackle, tottering, bloodshot; brilliant, freely creative and compelling.
The killer dub is entitled Jah Jah Symphony In B Minor. Pretty droll.
Beautifully sung protest against police violence, over a tight Jammy’s rhythm, from the same period as Folly Ranking.
With an alternative mix, and two dubs, foregrounding the brilliant drumming.
Chilled, elevated, hypnotic, move-on-up grooving, out of the Miami reggae underground.
“I know how / to milk a cow.”
Slightly theatrical female sufferers from 1977, arranged by Cedric Brooks.
From 1982 — with the Roots Radics and Jah Thomas at Channel One.
Sweet Stalag business.
Killer, full-steam-ahead, Channel One rub a dub, with startling effects, produced by Bebo Phillips and Clive Jarrett.
