First time on 45 for this excursion on the heavy Roots Radics rhythm used for Barrington Levy’s Englishman.

Same tough Radics rhythm used by Al Campbell for Fight I Down. Gotta be Scientist at the desk.

Two songs from the Weh Dem Fah album — Wicked Can’t Run Away and Sleng Teng excursions.

Riding a new version of killer Roy Dobson roots with the lyrics of his Photographer classic… but actually it’s the flute-led dub which does it for us.

Classic lonely-lover rocksteady, led by Tony Brevett, with the group on the rebound from Treasure Isle. A young Trinity rides out on the flip.

Tough, dismissive, soundboy digi. A King Tubby dubplate from 1986.

Hurting, heartfelt sufferers about youth unemployment in hard times.
Our favourite of these three new Jah Lifes from Digikiller.
All three run the same ruff digi rhythm, stripped and venomous on the flip.
All three are previously unreleased.

‘It’s not of my own will to idle on a corner.’

With Junjo and Soldjie at Channel One. Including the smash Diseases, in which Jah licks trouser-wearing women with ‘elephantiasis… the other one is the poliomyelitis… arthritis and the one diabetes.’
