Tough Niney rhythms — for the likes of Dennis Brown and The Heptones — laid down by Soul Syndicate, Philip Smart and Errol T, mixed by King Tubby.
(Castro Brown added a couple of Cimarrons dubs, courtesy of Syd Bucknor in Chalk Farm, when he let off a couple of hundred whites in 1977: the last two tracks here.)
Santa Davis on drums — those flying hi-hats copped off Earl Young in Philadelphia — and Tubbys at the controls…
Pure fire.

Niney and Tubby’s dubs from 45s, 1976-1978. Total murder. Heavyweight genius.

Brilliant, heavyweight, daft-as-a-brush Niney. Genius.

Tough dub counterpart to The Heptones’ Better Days set.

A staggering haul. One Train Load of murder.
Fire bunn!

The Ethiopians’ Slave Call LP and two Freddie McGregors — Mr McGregor and Showcase aka Lover’s Rock Jamaica Style — plus a dazzling haul of singles from 1978, revealing Niney at the peak of his genius, and easily worth the dough by themselves.

Unmissable rocksteady: a magnificent version of the Curtis; and a hard-rocking Never Let Me Go.

After Lee Perry’s party-starter Return Of Django crashed the UK charts at number five in 1968, Trojan rounded up the best of his other instrumentals, as an LP under the same title. Brilliant boss organ heat like Cold Sweat and Night Doctor.
They swiftly followed up with another bunch of lean and mean JA funk — still dressed as a Spaghetti Western soundtrack — culminating in the astounding Tight Spot.
