A Bullwackies masterpiece — spooked, reeling roots, saturated in hurt, confusion and resistance, with a knockout Baba Leslie-led dub.

Originally out on Joe Morgan’s Fish Tea in the mid-eighties, reprising his classic Basement Session for the digital era. Extended mixes, with mean electro bass on the dub.

Trodding on, over this excellent, propulsive, clattering rhythm by Nathan Skyers and Richard Brown. Previously unreleased.

Three excellent, diverse vocal excursions on a heavy, mid-eighties, Channel One-style rhythm by The Gladiators Band. The dub follows Frankie.

Tasha and Channel One productions, newly corralled, with three stone exclusives. The highlights are an FJ duet with Michael Palmer retrieved from dubplate duties, and from the Riders a next version of Youthman Invasion and a trigger-happy Illegal Gun. Wonderful photos by Beth Lesser and Syphilia Morgenstierne.

Upful, late-eighties singjaying, with nuff namechecks and squiddly diddlies, over a crisp, bustling rhythm.

Celebrated late-eighties soundboy business — another of his very best, revived at last.

Highly recommended — previously unreleased digi fire from the same sessions and mould as He Was A Friend.

Characteristically masterful singjaying; duetting with himself, for added dancehall vibes. The message calls for self-respect to be tempered by humility… probably a bit rich coming from KK. Sick rhythm.

Pious sex-pol, on a tuff Billie Jean lick. ‘When you come home, a next man asleep in your pyjamas… and then you charge fi murder, Jah Jah know. The man them a worries but the woman them a problem.’

Prime, early-eighties Barrington, expertly fronting chunky Radics on rhythms like The Russians Are Coming and Get In The Groove, in Scientist mixes. No losing with those cards.

Another all-time eighties classic.
A lovely song, over a do-over of Dennis’ Revolution rhythm, with Sly & Robbie in the mix.
