A mystical roots gem by the vocal group More Relation, founded in New York in 1977. They were one short on the day of the recording, so they renamed themselves for this release only.
Stripped-back, ecstatic, and hypnotic, in the manner of bare-bones Upsetters, by way of Bullwackies. The singing is bathed in the light of Bob Marley and the I Threes. The dub is casually killer. We could listen to it for hours.

Gorgeous, wistful, tentative two-step from her late, hard-to-find, 1974 LP Love Rhymes (with production by Johnny Guitar Watson and David Axelrod).
Bim.

Unmistakably sexy, classy SC over fun, rickety island disco produced by Franklyn Waul — from the Taxi Gang — in 1988.

An upful, radiant, chugging version of the McFadden & Whitehead, by way of Harry J, strung out on flute and Syndrums.

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 victorious if unlikely 2004 return of the legendary Latin soul vocalist.
Bumping, clavinet-led, rare-groove funk… cosmic synths… that unmistakable voice… a modern soul anthem.

A Federal 45 from 1974 featuring Ken Boothe, Lloyd Charmers, BB Seaton, Busty Brown… taking off from the Temptations’ Smiling Faces Sometimes. Plus a tropical disco chugger by Leslie Butler, with sick synths, originally out on Jay Wax in 1975.

Reggaefied electro funk from 1986, riding the reverberations of Planet Rock.
Beatbox, synth, trumpet, and nursery-rhyme MC.

Funkin’ for New York (JA).
Betty Boop and a Alleyoop was jumping up and down… This feelin’s funk, that’s what it is, let it get into you, Jamaica funk, that’s what it is… Take it to the cosmo.
