‘If you are poor, you walk in your shoes, you lean.’ Three Unity revive 12s in today, remastered and in spanking new sleeves. Altogether, as a label, the greatest UK digi there ever was.
Never before released. A soulful excursion on the same tight rhythm as Black Oney’s Jah Jah Send The Parson, with Lloydie Slim at the controls.
Actually this is Tyrone Evans from The Paragons, not Tyrone Davis the Chicago Soul singer, doing over Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell in fine style.
With Dave Barker’s moonstomping classic Funkey Reggae on the flip, poised between Shocks Of A Mighty for The Upsetter, and his international smash with Ansel Collins, Double Barrel.
Then again, “Don’t watch that, watch this.”
Magnificent roots from 1996. An expertly dubwise rhythm, with rolling, nyabinghi drums, deep bass, and terrific trombone. Militant lyrics with no let-up; dramatically delivered, channelling Burning Spear and Pablo Moses.
A compelling Spear-style chant over a bumping rhythm, from 2000. Ace.
