Classic Miami soul, originally on Blue Candle, from this Jazzman imprint.
This is the sublime, eleven-minute version, featuring vocalist Gavin Christopher.
Big Theo Parrish record.
Backed with the promo-only disco mix of Saturday Night, lavished with percussion by Sheila E.
Murders.
Terrific, grooving Black History from the Roy Ayers camp.
‘Remember to remember, to never forget. How long… how long… how long will it take?’
Big Hands re-united with trumpeter Abraham Parker.
Trialled triumphantly in recent live shows, the opener comes good on the promise of the duo’s triumphant debut for Trule: gliding, hypnotic, and moody, with rueful, burnished brass interjections riding dubwise steppers.
Then a pair of distressed, halftempo d&b rhythms: a call to arms, and a troubled circling of the wagons. Waltz For Matis winds up proceedings with a deep, spooked Fourth World excursion, with skittering marimba.
Another ace EP.
Heavyweight, apocalyptic Bunny, with a burial b-line, burning horns, masterful dub. By a mile the best thing on Blackheart Man.
A brilliant, taut take on vintage Wackies, there on the flip.
Their epochal 1997 masterpiece inaugurating the Rhythm & Sound label.
Half an hour of judge-long-sentence steppers.
A stone masterpiece of modern dub, towering over the field till kingdom come.
Magnificent, militant roots with the heart of a lion. Bunny’s greatest record under his own name, much superior to the version on the Liberation LP, this was originally released as a UK disco 45 in the early eighties.
Unmissable, mid-seventies, undercover Viceroys, plus three deadly versions.
A swingeing Niney-style rhythm; superb, swirling dub. King Tubby’s way with the vocal is unforgettable.
It’s a must.
Killer UK steppers; classic sufferers.
