Pure loveliness, deep and stately.
Plus Patsy dishing it straight back to Johnnie Taylor on the flip, with a reworking of Blues In The Night.

Leroy Brown’s killer detournement of Bobby Bland’s classic Ain’t No Love In The Heart Of The City, plus Clint Eastwood’s storming deejay excursion.
It’s a shame there’s no room for the stunning dub on the original Stagesound release of the Clint, but you can’t have everything.
It’s a must.

Magnificent, super-soulful sufferers for the ages; full of yearning and hurt, and staying power.

Both sides are knockout.
The Willacy is terrific roots, rough and mystical, compacted and bristling, with fine trumpet.
On the flip is Big Youth’s toast of Gregory’s Look Before You Leap.

Mid-seventies Harry J dub, led by keyboardist Leslie Butler, but featuring Joe White on melodica. The original LP plus eight spaced-out dubs from the vaults, including a dubwise take on Me And Mrs Jones. (There’s no messing with Billy Paul’s singing, though. Thankfully the melodica comes to the rescue.)

Recorded by Dennis Harris in 1975 at Gooseberry Studios, in London’s Chinatown.

Fab Phang chugger. Barrington kills it; grooving dub.
