Ain't No House

Jammy's

‘Special dedication to all the people who live inna House… Ain’t no house like Waterhouse… Ain’t no house like Firehouse.’
From the Sleng Teng era but played live. Total, heart-lifting class.
Altogether now…

Trevor Wilson

Not I

Morwell Esq

Delroy’s bro in two feeling excursions on his punchy Better Must Come rhythm.

In That Bar

The Uniques

Gypsy Woman

Lee / Dub Store

Unmissable rocksteady: a magnificent version of the Curtis; and a hard-rocking Never Let Me Go.

Val Bennett

The Russians Are Coming

Lee / Dub Store

Copper-bottomed rocksteady do-over of Take Five, by Buster’s go-to saxophonist. The title is nicked from a comedy film directed by Norman Jewison, out a couple of years beforehand in 1966.
Plus Glen Adams having a not so shabby go at an Eddie Holman, on the flip.

Johnny Clarke

Golden Snake

Atom / Dub Store

A Keith Hudson production with a strong whiff of Studio One to its bumping rhythm. JC typically bosses this song about requited love, which gives no clue where the golden snake comes in.
That’s none other than Clive Chin from Randy’s, toasting on the flip.
