‘The Soul Brothers possess a Crystal Clear Sound. Obviously it would be better to Cut the Chatter and Spin the Platter.’
A knockout selection of instrumental scorchers by the awesome Studio One house band led by Jackie Mittoo and Roland Alphonso, 1965-67.

HIs seminal LP, sixty years after its title track turned national anthem of JA independence celebrations; plus the remainder of his early recordings for Leslie Kong’s Beverley’s Records, originally released between 1961 to 1963.
The second disc focuses on Derrick’s return to Beverley’s during the rocksteady era, taking off from his Best Of album, first out on Doctor Bird in 1969.

These two early-eighties dub albums, plus a disc with nineteen dubs originally out on the Trojan subsidiary Attack.

A judicious compilation of cornerstone, pioneering UK Lovers: One Blood, Simplicity, Karen Dixon…

A staggering haul of early Niney 45s, from 1969-1972. Out-of-this-world reggae genius, with only the Upsetter for company. Unmissable.

No let up by the Drum And Bass crew — just check the sound samples — more rock steady treasures unearthed.
