Heavyweight, apocalyptic Bunny, with a burial b-line, burning horns, masterful dub. By a mile the best thing on Blackheart Man.

One of the very greatest reggae LPs of all time. Sublime singing; deep, passionate song-writing; tough-nut Radics; Junjo and Scientist at the desk. Packed with killers. Utterly essential.

Love Punaany Bad — a tale of hard times in New York City, with a nice steelpan sample; and a badman Admiral Bailey.

Ferociously magnificent, utterly crucial collection of his late-seventies singles, chanting it down like a more blood-and-fire, non-bucolic Burning Spear. Produced by Glen Brown, mixed by King Tubby. Towering roots reggae, inspired through and through, from start to finish; hotly recommended.

Two no-flim-flam, cross-border, dub-wise stompers — paired with masterful versions — from the veteran, Kingston-based unit led by the trombonist of Count Ossie’s Mystic Revelation Of Rastafari and The Light Of Saba.

Full, bone-heavy horns, swirling organ and rocking nyabinghi drumming; and with a storming dub.

Exhilarating reggae music from Stoke Newington, north east London, made by soundboys on a Casio and a drum machine, in a room over Eddie Regal’s record shop.

Rough, tough, searing steppers from the Meditation, with a killer-diller Dillinger, produced by Isha Morrison — Mrs Lee Perry — and originally out on Orchid.

From 1983, the same year as Jamming In The Street, his unmissable collaboration with Sugar Minott. Kicks off with a Queen Of The Minstrel excursion. Drifter is here, Late Night Blues, No More Will I Roam, Yo Yo, Real Rock. Sly & Robbie with the Aggrovators; Bunny Lee at the controls. Full-strength, body-rocking, early-eighties deejaying. It’s obvious why sounds like Black Scorpio and Kilimanjaro favoured him.

The debut LP of David Jahson and Jerry Baxter, from 1978 (featuring the classic, parping Black On Black, from four years earlier).
The CD adds the Love Train album.

Two cuts from the LP High Times Present New Talents Ghetto Youths Showdown.
The MW is killer roots, not to be missed. You can hear Scientist in the dubwise mix.
With Clive ‘From Creation’ Hylton, on the flip.

A bit Whitey Mice, over a wicked mid-nineties Steely & Clevie.

Bunny Lee Boss Sounds, 1969-70. Musical aggro from hornsmen Roland Alphonso, Tommy McCook, Lester Sterling and co, plus foundational deejaying by D Tony Lee, U Roy, and Jeff Barnes, and nuff organ. Sleeve notes by Noel Hawks.
