Ruff, rugged, hypnotic, spiritual roots from this startlingly Swiss studio and label, with Half Moon, early Pablo, and stark Upsetter amongst its ancestors.

The four albums — The Birth Of Ska, Latin Goes Ska, The Skatalite!, and Don Drummond Greatest Hits — plus nineteen extras.

Terrific excursion on the great Sleepy/Santic/Rockers Problems rhythm, by the Maytones’ Vernon Buckley, with a knockout dub.
Pure vibes. Bim.

Next Bunny Wailer installment from Dubstore Tokyo. You know the drill: silkscreened sleeves, beautiful labels, and out of this world selecting, like this limber, jazzy gem, still wiser than Solomon.

Re-launching the Mittoo classic, aimed one step beyond, with intrepid space synths and drum machine (and mangled chanting on the flip). Strong Upsetters flavours.

Characteristically daring report of Haile Selassie’s visit to JA, kicking off in Amharic. A knees-up crossing of gospel, ska and rhythm and blues — the pianist and drummer taking different views — with vocal backing by The Gaylads. Plus a Soul Brothers on the flip.

Lovely Impressions impressions on the eve of the group’s departure from Brentford Road.

Lovely, upful roots, with signature Bunny Wailer trimmings.
The flip is a brilliant, dubwise, rare Big Youth, massive with life and creativity.
