The great roots singer totally bossing this killer piece of late-eighties digi Lovers.
Like the Singing Melody excursion on the same stone-classic I Won’t Give Up rhythm, this is previously unreleased.

Next cut of Spear’s Marcus Garvey rhythm.

Overproof sufferers by Sweeney Williams, with the Wailers Band.

Storming, stomping, insurgent Niney. Stunning record.

‘I think it was 1979, or 1978. That rhythm, I record it at Channel One, and take it to Perry. So when me go down there and record it with Perry, I would have to get it mixed down so it would fit Perry’s 4-track Teac. So this is where now I voice it, and Scratch mix it, mix the voice. Then we put back the rhythm on the thing, and go back down to Channel One, and then Ranking Barnabas mix it. So it’s really Scratch, Barnabas and Scientist work on that song. That’s why you hear Scientist develop the foot and all those… double drumming you see there. It was Sly, Sly was the one who play that drum. Sly, Fullwood, Tony Chin, Chinna, Bobby Ellis, Dizzy the guy that play Riot for Keith Hudson, and Tommy McCook.’

Cool Down Your Temper, followed by Jah Jah The Conqueror… murders she wrote. The Agrovators in the place, with Augustus Pablo; Bunny Lee at the desk; two killer Tubbys dubs to close out the sides.

A deadly, zonked Soul Syndicate excursion on Westbound Train, with Keith Hudson as the Fat Controller. Introducing a young LT — his first recording, he says — stylistically indebted to Dennis Brown.

Orange vinyl.

The reissue of Steve Barrow’s brilliant, powerhouse selection for Blood And Fire.

Celebrated dubplate version of DEB’s Promised Land; and Earl 16 on Trial And Crosses.

Superb roots, tough dub. A dilly from Tilly. Larry nuh tarry.

Including a disinterment of his great song Burial.
‘What a big disgrace, the way you rob up the place… everything you can find, you even rob the blind. Now we know the truth… taking people’s business on your head, might as well you be dead.’
The second LP contains the dubs.
