A title track which never ages, unfortunately.

Characteristically masterful singjaying; duetting with himself, for added dancehall vibes. The message calls for self-respect to be tempered by humility… probably a bit rich coming from KK. Sick rhythm.

Highly recommended — previously unreleased digi fire from the same sessions and mould as He Was A Friend.

Celebrated late-eighties soundboy business — another of his very best, revived at last.

Tough dubs of a clued-up selection of Techniques rhythms, from 1976, including Stalag, Cheer Up Black Man, and Johnny Osbourne’s interpretation of The Delfonics’ Ready Or Not. Ace.

Tough, late-80s UK steppers, with a Mad Professor dub.

Upful, true-born-scuffler sing-jaying over a crisp, late-eighties Mansfield McClean rhythm.
Life is for living, but watch your step; ‘dollars weak but life is sweet’.

Pious sex-pol, on a tuff Billie Jean lick. ‘When you come home, a next man asleep in your pyjamas… and then you charge fi murder, Jah Jah know. The man them a worries but the woman them a problem.’

Terrific selection of Joe Gibbs productions from 1970, featuring a clutch of killer Upsetter-influenced instrumentals, Niney and Andy Capp, and ace deejaying from Lord Comic.

Black Ark business.

Anthony Doyley is the singer on The Classics’ Civilization. Here he is tearing up the mic ten years later in 1980, two years after Knowledge stopped at the Black Ark.
Imagine being managed by Tapper Zukie.

The US singer dropping a little sass at Treasure Isle in 1968. Same session as Angel Of The Morning, but previously unreleased.
Also Tommy McCook & The Supersonics doing over Ode To Billy Joe in fine style.

Evergreen rocksteady reading of Chip Taylor’s pop-country paean to illicit sex.

Jen rides the dread Sidewalk Doctor rhythm, with Woman Of The Ghetto lyrics.
Jackie Mittoo puts any survivors to the sword.

Larry Marshall and Alvin Leslie, backed by The Revolutionaries and blazing horns, produced by Alvin Ranglin.
Accomplished late-seventies reggae, never properly released till now; shot through with Marshall’s moody intensity and craftsmanship.

Infectiously spirited do-over of Horace Andy’s Higher Range. In three parts — vocal, toast, melodica dub.
