The greatest UK MC of them all, setting fire to Tempo.
Soundboy willies. Do it Jah.
Amenably sick, synthy dub.

The Treasure Isle masterwork… plus a sweetly rocking Tommy McCook.

Don’t miss the rocking steady Bacharach & David on the flip.

Killer, full-steam-ahead, Channel One rub a dub, with startling effects, produced by Bebo Phillips and Clive Jarrett.

Tough, lovelorn rock steady, with tasty organ asides. The flip is a lovely revive of the signature tune of the great JA calypsonian Lord Flea, bossed here by Lennie Hibbert.

Great early-eighties Channel 1 excursion on the same version of DEB’s Revolution rhythm as Barrington Levy’s Black Rose.

Conscious lovers — Paulette’s own upful, considered advice, delivered with fresh, youthful persuasiveness, and deadly horns. Another killer one-away.

Sweet, sweet sufferers on Tommy McCook’s lovely Schenectady’s Shock rhythm, featuring Augustus Pablo on glockenspiel. (‘Shock probation’ is an alternative to prison in Schenectady County, New York.)

Heartfelt, blessed early-eighties Maxfield Avenue roots, in short supply from the off. Pressed from the original stamper, Digikiller-style: a few clicks at the start can’t test rudie.
