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.

Sid Bucknor supervising a mix of master musicians from the London scene and JA visitors — Rico, Tan Tan, Lester Sterling, Winston Wright and co. Ace versions of Rebel Woman and the Lumumbo rhythm for starters.

The truly iconic compilation from 1965, when ska was in its full, irrepressible, post-colonial glory.

Cool Down Your Temper, followed by Jah Jah The Conqueror… murders she wrote. The Agrovators in the place, with Augustus Pablo; Bunny Lee at the desk; two killer Tubbys dubs to close out the sides.

Outstanding, widescreen, blazing modern roots by way of the Dubmatix crew in Toronto. Horace Andy, too; and a shot of Wackies style and fashion in the mix.

A deadly, zonked Soul Syndicate excursion on Westbound Train, with Keith Hudson as the Fat Controller. Introducing a young LT — his first recording, he says — stylistically indebted to Dennis Brown.

The reissue of Steve Barrow’s brilliant, powerhouse selection for Blood And Fire.

Barrington Levy’s Poor Man Style album, Scientist & Prince Jammy Strike Back, The Viceroys’ We Must Unite, Tristan Palma’s Settle Down Girl… and a couple of Majestarians.

Celebrated dubplate version of DEB’s Promised Land; and Earl 16 on Trial And Crosses.

Superb roots, tough dub. A dilly from Tilly. Larry nuh tarry.
