Ease Up The Pressure

Jah Life

Yodelling beautifully over a deadly digi do-over of Easy Take it Easy, ticking and bare-bones. Never previously released… but ace.

Terrific soulful Northern banger — a Wigan anthem — and classic Motor City fire from Jack Ashford’s Pied Piper Productions. Performed, written and produced by LC.

Nadia Harris McAnuff

Home Away From Home

Shamala

Winston’s daughter, on a vintage Channel One rhythm; produced last year by Franklin ‘Steamers A Bubble’ Irving. Straight to the head of all nationalists and xenophobes.

Tough, dismissive, soundboy digi. A King Tubby dubplate from 1986.

Sonny Wong

You Can't Hold On

Pyramid / Dub Store

Classy, proto-lovers, full-scale do-over of the Robert John 45 still big in Northern Soul circles.
The original arranger, none other than Gene Page gets a run for his money in the typically sophisticated instrumental version by Geoffrey Chung and the In Crowd.
