Inimitably mixed by King Tubby; The Aggrovators on top form, likewise; rocking horns.
With an excellent Temps, and three lovely Chicago Soul covers. Nobody does reggae-soul better than Delroy.
Aka Sings For I & I.
Coupled with Ken Boothe’s Boothe Unlimited LP, another Lloyd Charmers production.
God’s own ska. Cornerstone of the Far East in reggae. (No Augustus Pablo without it.) We put a dubplate mix on Studio One Scorcher; first ever time out for the second take here.
Heavy, slowed-down Green Island excursion, revisited as a duet with the mighty Lennie Hibbert. Originally a Down Beat dubplate special.
Previously-unreleased takes of this ball of fire hurtling East with no survivors (from the second Ska Authentic). Pitiless, wondrous companion-piece to Last Call, from the same session.
The unmissable first outing of this wonderful song; recorded for Sonia Pottinger in the early seventies. A little way different to the all-time-classic Channel One version, but a round-one knockout on its own account.
The great singer loud and clear over a moody live-digital rhythm, laid down at Aquarius in the mid-eighties.
