Buoyant anthem to ghetto people boutiques.
You can get anything on Princess Street, ‘from a pin to an anchor… Just have some cash, and you will conquer.’ Not like Orange Street, which is always getting shut down by plod.
Transfixingly stone-faced dub, for all hard-core Channel One massive.
A kind of Dennis Brown / Studio One cut-up. Written by Junior Brammer and Jah Life, according to the label. Talk about taking it easy.
‘Away with your fussing and fighting, away with your hypocrite system.’
A masterful Pablo production, sprinkled with Black Ark magic, finetuned by King Tubby; searing Delgado.
A rebel-rock masterpiece.
Extended, with dubs.
Jux alongside Adrian Sherwood, in 2005.
Thunderous… with a magnificent burning-horns dub masterminded by London Is The Place alumnus Harry Beckett.
Tough, ringing digi, with a sick bass-line entirely lost on computers.
Cool and deadly 80s digi out of I-Plee’s E&F Studios in the Bronx. Excellent singing, tough rhythm.
Heavy, spaced-out, discombobulated rubadub cut at Munchie Jackson’s Sunshine Studio in the Bronx, in the mid-1980s, with Jackie Mittoo at the controls. Junior devotes his debut recording to a richly nostalgic, entertaining set of shout outs.
All-time killer New York dancehall. It’s a must.
Heavyweight killer Late Night Blues excursion, with King Tubby.
The same super heavyweight rhythm as Open The Gate Bobby Boy and Noel Phillips’ Youth Man… not forgetting the deadly Brixton Incident 12”, by Roy Rankin & Raymond Naptali.
Junior is playful, maybe a little dazed. The dub is killer; cavernous and moody.
Upful, late-eighties singjaying, with nuff namechecks and squiddly diddlies, over a crisp, bustling rhythm.
The dubs of the original Scientist LP, plus the corresponding vocal sides by Johnny Osbourne, Hugh Mundell and Wayne Jarrett.
Excellent rock steady from 1966, with nothing much to do with the Lion of Judah; and a lush, tropical Tommy McCook, with nothing much to do with James Bond.
