Remastered, adding extended versions of the original LP, plus the remix of Paisley Park, the extended version of Girl, and Hello (Fresh Dance Mix). This new version of America runs over twenty minutes.
Nice, mid-tempo tune, Eek A Mouse style and fashion.
Thumping soundboy frightener from 1987, with nice Eastern flourishes.
‘Yes we nice, yes we nice… Hold them, music, hold them, yes, we control them… no we nah go let them stray.’ Dancehall manners — on the rhythm Delgado used for Rasta People — as clinically murderous as all-time EJ hits for Jammys like Rock Them One By One and Turn Up The Heat.
Congo Call, such a killer. With Sonny Simmons.
A hollowed-out, minor-chord rhythm… SB bubbling moodily about ‘if you’re having a problem and you don’t know to solve them, down the road there is a party’... a stripped, brilliant dub.
Classic Jammys from 1987.
