Twenty-three Errol T dubs of Joe Gibbs hits released between 1980 and 82, at the start of the dancehall era.

‘12” Dub Mixes 1978 to 1984.’

Sweet rocksteady — expertly arranged, with boss guitar, horns and harmonies.
“We’re going to put it on… we are loaded… (long pause)... with soul music.”

Twin detournements of Lieber & Stoller.
Hugh Godfrey coolly channels Love Potion No. 9 into a rude boy anthem, with tasty riding-east piano and full-steam-ahead saxophone.
On the flip, Norma Fraser switches the roles of the Big Mama Thornton classic. An erstwhile dawg is played by the singer. The raucous, sexually dismissive wordplay of the original — ‘You can wag your tail / But I ain’t gonna feed you no more’ — is replaced by dignified verses about female independence and resilience.
Killer 45.

Tremendous.
High-drama, dubwise Channel One, with deadly guitar and congas, and fatter-than-Fat-Albert trombone.

Very nice, evocative mixture of ska, meringue, swing and co, from 1960, suited and booted by Dub Store.

OG had been a UK-resident for five years by the time of this Brenton Wood cover, recorded here during the Soul Vendors 1967 tour. (One night Jimi Hendrix was the support.) A Procul Harem on the flip.
