Tough, red-eyed roots, recorded at Wackies with strong Upsetters flavouring.
The dub is minimal, rough and in-your-face… for playing loud.
1990 digi killer by Leicester’s finest, originally out on the Japanese Tachyon label run by Bullwackies cohort Sonny Ochiai. Classic.
The first disc contains his 1982 LP — irresistible early dancehall — plus contemporaneous twelves sparring with the likes of Cornell Campbell and Barrington Levy. The second rounds up some Joe Gibbs heavy-hitters by other deejays and singers, from the same period.
Ace.
Chugging, confessional, Chicagoan loveliness from Delroy Williams, Ricky Grant and George Allison.
‘I have seen the moment of my greatness flicker, And I have seen the eternal Footman hold my coat, and snicker, And in short, I was afraid.’
Magnificent 1980 roots, full of moody Channel One vibes.
