My Time Is The Right Time

Tilly And Larry

Jah Gave Us Everything

Marshall

Superb roots, tough dub. A dilly from Tilly. Larry nuh tarry.

Tony Tuff

Careless People

Redman International / Dub Store

Can’t bubble, can’t cook, can’t even dress properly.

Outer Limits Recordings

I Need My T.V.

Olde English Spelling Bee

‘A Squeeze-meets-XTC vibed track that will appeal to fans of the Rangers, as it sounds like a half-remembered lost classic from an ‘80s infomercial beamed onto a thrift-store VHS.’

Anthony Selassie

Busy Body

Rhythem Track / Digikiller

Hue B

Everyday Thing

Tuff Scout

Two brilliant contemporary roots productions birthing Out On The Floor’s new imprint. Here, Tuff Rock aka East Londoner Mikey Roots masterminds a raw, luminous cut of Keith Goode’s Jah Jah Deliver Us.

Variety

Rhythem Track / Digikiller

Late-eighties Callo Collins production of the Youth Promotion cohort.

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.’

Ras Ibuna

Pay Them Dues

Kadamawe

Soul Brothers

Shanty Town Curfew

Merritone / Dub Store

Alton Ellis

Cry Tough 7

Treasure Isle

The Maytals & Don Drummond

Coppa

Federal / Dub Store

Unmissable Maytals, in previously unreleased recordings from 1965.
Toots and co have this Coppa bang to rights — ‘Stop treating the people unkind’ — even before Don D boots him down the street and the hell out of Dodge.

Manuel B. Holcolm

I Stayed Away Too Long

Luv 'N Haight

Lyn Taitt And The Jets

Batman (Early Take)

Merritone / Dub Store

The Techniques

You Are My Everything

Techniques / Dub Store

Tony Tuff

Ram Dance Style

Vena / Dub Store

Soundboy vibes over a hard-driving, clattering rhythm.

Delroy Katt

Pray To The Father

Vena / Dub Store

Fatis digi.
Opening with a Dennis Brown feint, Katt whirls through vegetarianism, military repression, street crime and religious salvation.

The Maytones

Dig Away Di Money

GG / Dub Store

Alton Ellis

Cry Tough (Alternate Take)

Treasure Isle / Far East

Johnny Lytle

Selim

BGP

From 1964, this tribute to Miles Davis is the great vibes player’s crowning glory (even including his contribution to Roger Troutman’s Unlimited album). A swinging, modal classic, massive on the Dingwalls jazz-dance scene.
