Stone classic. Stuffed with monster Lee Perry rhythms like War In A Babylon.
Deep and intense, with Augustus Pablo and the Barrett Bros on call, god-like Tubbys mixing, canonical rhythms, Big Youth and Horace Andy in the mix. One of the top five dub albums of all time. Fifty years old!
What a great record. Soaring early-eighties soul from Bill Withers’ spar — original, loose-limbed and funky, full of emotional intelligence and good vibes. Includes Love’s Too Hot To Hide, two-step heaven.
‘Hey, fellahs…The sisters are not going for that no more…’
Stone cold feminist funk classic from the Female Preacher. The JBs sound like they know there’s no turning back.
CD from BGP.
The great boneman’s 1974 masterwork, with highlights like the ten-minute work-out I’m Payin’ Taxes, What Am I Buyin’, the party-hearty If You Don’t Get It The First Time, the grooving, fist-in-the-air Same Beat (with that sample of Jesse Jackson), and the stunning out-funk of Blow Your Head.
With a 22” x 22” poster featuring the original cover art, as well as a 7-inch flexidisc of the rare Unrubbed Version (without Moog) of Blow Your Head, only available previously on the compilation James Brown’s Funky People Part 3.
