Ace Jah Warrior revive from 1997.
A judicious compilation of cornerstone, pioneering UK Lovers: One Blood, Simplicity, Karen Dixon…
A staggering haul of early Niney 45s, from 1969-1972. Out-of-this-world reggae genius, with only the Upsetter for company. Unmissable.
Another Black Victory classic missing in action, with superb rhythms and killer dubs, a dream combination of Studio One and Bullwackies musicians, and the young sing-jay already at the top of his game.
Tough early-eighties Fatis digi, over which our hero finds himself trying to get next to a gay woman who looks like a man. Even his Japanese shoes fail him.
Fierily imperious roots from 1998, for Opera House. With Mikey General and a dub; and a show-stealing toast from label-boss Buccaneer.
Stark, powerful singjaying over tough, livewire digi; produced in Jamaica by Delroy Francis for his Claypot imprint, and originally released in 1987.
These are the original mixes, newly transferred from the master tapes.
Gritty sing-jay reportage, originally released in 1987 on a Claypot 12”, back-to-back with Terrorists. Produced in JA by Delroy Francis, more widely known nowadays as the guvnor of the Park Heights label and record shop in Brooklyn.
Lovely, wheezing roots, with the same charming frankness and male vulnerability as Jux’ She’s Gonna Marry Me.
Great tunes to spin at wedding parties (cut with Pablo’s Bells Of Death).
