Tasty rudeboy anthems from Cedric ‘Congos’ Myton, Devon Russell and co —  a dancehall tribute and a jailhouse portent. Double-bass in the place.

Bumping rocksteady — with a gospel, Toots flavour to the A; a little more booting rhythm and blues to the flip.

Lovely harmonising by Devon Russell, Prince Lincoln Thompson, Cedric Myton and Lindburgh Lewis, over a chunky rocksteady rhythm. Plus a sweetly imploring Tommy McCook instrumental on the flip, with deft guitar-work by Hux Brown, and a gently rocking brass section.

Outstanding roots from 1979, produced by Prince Hammer. Tough dub. too.

The great roots singer totally bossing this killer piece of late-eighties digi Lovers.
Like the Singing Melody excursion on the same stone-classic I Won’t Give Up rhythm, this is previously unreleased.

Next cut of Spear’s Marcus Garvey rhythm.

Bumping, soulful ska. Plus Tommy McCook’s brilliant Goldfinger, on the flip.

Irresistible mix of sublime, Impressions-style harmony singing, punchy horns supervised by Tommy McCook, soulful existentialism and rocking steady rhythm; beautifully presented by Far East Records.

Please double-click through the label image for a sna of the B-side label, which is missing the print around its centre-hole.

The key Black Victory album, produced by Bullwackies and Sugar Minott: a devastating, chilled, dread run of King Tubby’s Tempo rhythm. Surely the greatest one-rhythm LP of all time, with unforgettable versions of the Red Rose classic.
