His first LP, from 1980. Al Campbell productions recorded with Sly & Robbie at Channel One; mixed by the hubristic teenager at King Tubby’s. Great stuff… but a non-scientific title.

Ten killer dubs of Barrington Levy, mixed at Tubby’s, mostly unreleased. (The album was shelved in late 1980.)

Ruthlessly brilliant dubs of classic Linval Thompson productions like Wayne Wade’s Poor And Humble and Johnny Osbourne’s Kiss Somebody. Courtesy of the Roots Radics at Channel One, by way of Tubby’s. De Materialize puts it perfectly.

Magnificent do-over of Dennis Brown’s classic Foot Of The Mountain. A TG Binns production from mid-seventies New York. Murder.

A worthy catalogue raisonne of the JA recordings of this almighty genius at his peak.
A year-by year discography, with more than eight hundred label images, a heap of wonderful photos (including Adrian Boot’s classic images of the Black Ark), and spotlights on key players like Bob Marley, Junior Byles, Augustus Pablo, Junior Murvin, and Yabby You.
Sumptuously presented in full colour throughout 280 pages of coated paper, 297x210mm, with a classy soft-touch cover.
It’s a must.

Deadly, dubwise space disco by the Gaylad — a version of The Earons’ Land Of Hunger, hauling it from Compass Point in the Bahamas, to downtown Kingston, Jamaica.

Late-eighties Callo Collins production of the Youth Promotion cohort.

Aka Olive Grant — the same Senya who broke through at Randys in 1974 with Oh Jah Come and Children Of The Ghetto — with The Wailers backing.

Tell them, Shabba.

This beautiful acoustic cut is previously unissued. Raw soulful lovers, with close-harmony backing, and double bass and guitar as irresistible as Egyptian Reggae. Terrific.
