Jah I Maz

Freedom Is A Must

City Line / Digikiller

A Bullwackies masterpiece — spooked, reeling roots, saturated in hurt, confusion and resistance, with a knockout Baba Leslie-led dub.

Charles 'Mad Dog' Sheffield

I Got Fever

Juke Box Jam

Ramon And The Crystalites

Golden Chickens

Crystal / Dub Store

Wicked little minor-key organ instrumental, with a killer intro and rare toasting by Ramon The Mexican — resident deejay of Harriott’s Musical Chariot Sound System — who later changed his name to Ambelique.

Derrick Harriott

Groovy Situation

Crystal / Dub Store

A cover of the Gene Chandler.

Derrick Harriott

Message From A Black Man

Crystal / Dub Store

Excellent, sombre version of The Temptations’ civil rights smash.
Same tune both sides.

Wadada

Material Things

Palm Disco / Hornin' Sounds

Dawn McCarthy And Bonnie Prince Billy

Christmas Eve Can Kill You

Drag City

Dawn Le Faun with Billy Le Bon, co-singers of The Letting Go and Wai Notes, digging up a modern(ish) parable from deep in their Everlys sack, afore getting down and sliding around on the flip.

Roland Alphonso

Ska-Culation

Studio One / Dub Store

A Skatalites charger and a jolt of vintage Ethiopian ska rumpus.

I Roy

Tougher Than Tough

Crystal / Dub Store

The Chosen Few

Am I Black Enough

Crystal / Dub Store

The Chosen Few

People Make The World Go Round

Crystal / Dub Store

Ace version of The Stylistics’ smash.

Alton Ellis

Alphabetically Yours

Treasure Isle / Far East

The Invaders

After A Storm (Beyond That Dark Cloud)

Sir Collins / Digikiller

Nice gospelized harmonies… with a touch of The Lecture to the flip-side sufferers.

Trevor Byfield

Jah Guide

Fox Fire / Digikiller

Clive Matthews

My Girl Has Gone

Fox Fire / Digikiller

His first recording, originally released in the mid ‘70s on the Percival label, and recorded at Dynamic Sound with the Now Generation Band. Nice and chunky.

Clive Matthews

Am Going Home

Fox Fire / Digikiller

Only an unmissable next dub of the titanic Tell Me That You Love Me rhythm, for crying out loud.

Papa Levi

Fire

Tuff Scout

Great to have the Saxon man back, in top form on this slug of nasty NW1 digi.

Dennis Brown

Silhouettes

Move & Groove / Dub Store

The Maytals

Festival Song 1966 Bam-Bam

BMN / Dub Store

Beautiful mento sufferers for Ronnie Nasralla in 1966. ‘I am the man who fights for the right, not for the wrong.’
People say that’s the first deejay recording on the flip — the wonderful Lord Comic, and his cowboys. ‘Music is real sweet… For your dancing feet.’

Little Johnny Hamilton

Apartment 9

Deep Soul

Papa Levi

Inna Mi Yard

Tuff Scout

The great UK MC retrieves his war chest from the potting shed.
An expert, moody Tuff Scout re-lick, with a haunting new vibes part and lethal effects.

Two Heads

Push Away

Tuff Scout

Lovely trodding-on steppers.

The Soul Duo

Just A Sad Xmas

Numero

Novelette Barnett

Fire De A Town

High Note / Only Roots

Mr Dallas

Can't Give Up

Tuff Scout
