Adrian Sherwood marshals Bruce Smith, Keith Levene, Ari Up, and Crucial Tony; and George Oban, Eskimo Fox, and Style Scott, from African Head Charge.

Creole’s personal rough mixes of sides recorded at the same late ‘70s session as the Channel One killer Beware.
Fishers Of Man is an extended mix, and Walls Of Jericho is teamed with a version retrieved from dubplate, adding synth.

Ace early Tubbys digi — stripped and moody — with fine, amusing vocals.

Great album this; recommended with infernal heat. Beautiful close-harmony singing, killer tunes, tough rhythms, engaging songs. Junjo at Maxfield Avenue, with the Roots Radics. Heavy and luminous from start to finish.

Late-eighties Jammys digital roots — with Steelie & Clevie at the controls — following up the classic Hell A Go Pop set. The hits were Running Back To Me and Distant Lover.

With a heap of extra discomixes, deejay cuts and dubs.

Joseph Hill, cuz Albert Walker, and pal Roy Dayes at their torrentially productive peak.
They came together in 1976 as the vocal trio The African Disciples. The next tear they re-named themselves Culture, and joined Joe Gibbs’ operation. In just one single year they cut enough top-quality sides to comprise four LPs, including the epochal Two Sevens Clash.
Here is the first anthology of those wonderful early singles, complete with dubs, and walk-ons for I-Roy, Nicodemus, U-Brown, and co.

Ace, lonesome digi from 1988, indebted to Tenor Saw, with Johnny Osbourne’s Can’t Buy Love submerged in its DNA. Crisp, driving dub.
Surely ‘Culture P’ would have been a better idea.
