Gospelised roots, produced by Delroy Collins in the late 1990s, with mixes by the Disciples.

Excellent mid-seventies roots by this singer from Jack Ruby’s Hi Fi.

Scientist, Roots Radics.

Second, 1982 album by the loose collective, featuring Prince Far I, Bim Sherman and Jah Woosh, and members of the Roots Radics, Slits and Glaxo Babies. ‘Heavy dread vibes, earthquaking dub and classic deejay chatter, recorded in the flash, heat and studio experimentation of post-punk London.’
With a 24” x 12” fold-out poster insert and digital download card.

Upful, infectious, buzzing dancehall vibes, flirtatiously mashing in lines from Sunfire’s boogie classic Young, Free & Single, over the same murderously bumping digi rhythm as Frankie Wilmott’s I Won’t Give Up.

Including a killer mix of Homeward Bound, the Creation Steppers’ blazing update of The Skatalites’ Confucius; a heavy Spear and a heavier Fred Locks (with Reggae Reggae Sauce rocking the mic).

‘Over 200 full-colour pages documenting Dodd’s vinyl output during the first six years of Jamaica’s new urban music — from Boogie Shuffle to Ska. Presented imprint by imprint and illustrated with over 900 label scans. With sections on Dodd’s Sound Systems and businesses as well as the musicians he used and the live scene in Jamaica.’

Jubilant, party-hearty deejay cut to a thumping, body-rocking Jah Life do-over of the almighty Love Without Feeling rhythm. Sister Carol smashes it out of the dancehall and into the trees. The dub is knockout, too: raw drum & bass, in your face.
‘Mi have di potential an mi have di credential… in a dance hall, concert an’ rehearsal… mi will mash it, as per usual.’

All-time-classic Stalag excursion.
