Killer UK lovers. Jeniffer Redman at the mic; Jah Bunny at the controls. Bubbler worries.

An upful, radiant, chugging version of the McFadden & Whitehead, by way of Harry J, strung out on flute and Syndrums.

Terrific, heavyweight, nyabinghi roots from 1975, with Spear’s Swell Headed somewhere at the back of its mind.
Produced by Junior Smith, founding member of The Itals; also Elias Stewart; both from Savanna-la-Mar.
An outstanding revive. It’s a must.

Icho Candy & his brother Prince Junior go combination-style on this previously unreleased anti-apartheid missile, using the same sick rhythm as King Kong’s unmissable Agony And Pain.

A funky afro-rock classic, his 1969 debut for Ahmad Jamal’s label by this future director of Amandla (the cultural ensemble of the ANC).

Arranged and produced by Leroy Hutson, who co-wrote all the songs, and part engineered at Curtom. The Voices’ best album, brimming with good vibes, bubbling grooves, great singing, political resistance.

‘Early contender for 2009’s album of the year. Yes, already’ (Mojo). ‘The sheer soul in her voice is revolutionary’ (NME).**** The Independent, The Times. ‘**** a masterclass in gritty southern soul’ (Daily Mail).
