From 1982 — with the Roots Radics and Jah Thomas at Channel One.

Sweet Stalag business.

Great to have the Saxon man back, in top form on this slug of nasty NW1 digi.

The great UK MC retrieves his war chest from the potting shed.
An expert, moody Tuff Scout re-lick, with a haunting new vibes part and lethal effects.

The greatest UK MC of them all, setting fire to Tempo.
Soundboy willies. Do it Jah.
Amenably sick, synthy dub.

The Treasure Isle masterwork… plus a sweetly rocking Tommy McCook.

Don’t miss the rocking steady Bacharach & David on the flip.

Tremendous, transformative interpretation of the Bassies at Studio One — mournful, trenchant, rocking, heavy, dubwise… bad.

Killer, full-steam-ahead, Channel One rub a dub, with startling effects, produced by Bebo Phillips and Clive Jarrett.

Wicked EP!
Lloyd Parks’ soulful sufferers, beautifully sung — a worthy reggae answer to Joe Bataan’s sublime Ordinary Guy — plus a deadly dub, with mad effects; then a melodica outing by Augustus Pablo, with clavichord; and finally the gob-smacking leave-the-studio-sah excursion.
Trumps trumping trumps.
