Surveying 1974-1978 at King Tubby’s studio, with Scientist in particular coming through. Randy’s and Channel One rhythms — Anywhere But Nowhere, No No No — featuring the likes of Robbie Shakespeare, Lloyd Parks, Sly, Carlton Barrett, Augustus Pablo, and Chinna. A bouquet of exclusive cuts, only issued once before, in the mid-nineties, by Zola & Zola.
Masterfully produced by Niney in 1979, the same year as Bobby Bobylon.
The only LP by this vocal trio; originally out on Creole in 1985. Recorded at Dynamic Sounds and Music Mountain; produced by B.B. Seaton.
Glads and Culture vibes.
Deadly, dubwise space disco by the Gaylad — a version of The Earons’ Land Of Hunger, hauling it from Compass Point in the Bahamas, to downtown Kingston, Jamaica.
Killer UK steppers; classic sufferers.
UK soundboy frighteners from 2006.
Common Ground playing trumps.
Dynamite, previously unissued rocksteady version of the monumental Skatalites scorcher from a few years earlier.
A masterful, sublime cover of the Young Holt by the newly-formed Sound Dimension; backed with Roy Richards’ classic harmonica version of Summertime.
Unmistakable themes from the TV series soundtrack, in party-rocking style, with biff-boof organ.
All-time-classic Stalag excursion.
With a deadly, riding-east tang to the moody rhythm, sublime singing, murderous bass… Scorcher.
