Out-of-this-world toasting, the absolute bees knees, over Old Fashioned Way; and a stupendous piece of Skatalites, way from creation. Swing baby swing and do your own thing. Uptight and rocking out of sight.
Bims almighty.

Hard-to-find sides, including a handful of Upsetters and Tubbys, and a late sixties offering — as Winston Cool — engineered by Andy Capp.

On a Jimmy London; with a Peter Tosh melodica version.

A chacteristically up-for-it and punchy next cut of the Yabby You, with a concussive dub; first out in the mid-eighties.

Brute of a Shaka stomper.

Tremendous. Big Youth overflowing with good and righteous vibes; churchical organ, fruity trombone, punchy rhythm. Now… where’s that copy of Instant Coma?

The mighty deejay in irresistible form, riding all-time-killer rhythms by way of Yabby You, Dennis Brown, Burning Spear and company. Plus a side of tough Skin, Flesh & Bones dubs. Errol T is at the controls. Ace.

On Little Roy’s Christopher Columbus.

Double helpings of riotous, classic dancehall recorded for Jah Thomas’s Midnight Rock label, but previously only issued as a promotional white label. The rhythms are by the Roots Radics, at Channel One. One side each for the deejays, brandishing lyrical cutlasses fit to kill. Early days for Super Cat, but his irresistible rise is already up in your face, plain as day.

Ace 1978 set voiced at King Tubby’s and mixed by Prince Jammy, with Trinity’s younger brother Clint deejaying over tough Aggrovators rhythms like African Roots and Stars, including an excursion on Black Uhuru’s Eden Out There.

The commanding, concussive first LP of the Voice of Thunder, from 1976, chanting psalms and prayers over tough Lloydie Slim productions, mostly with the Aggrovators. (Plus a seemingly random Upsetters rhythm.)
‘Those who have ears to hear, let them hear.’
It’s a must.

A previously unreleased mix of the great man toasting over a one-away Satta excursion, for Lloydie Slim; and a previously unreleased dub.
