Stalag… and The Carpenters’ Top Of The World.

A hollowed-out, minor-chord rhythm… SB bubbling moodily about ‘if you’re having a problem and you don’t know to solve them, down the road there is a party’... a stripped, brilliant dub.
Classic Jammys from 1987.

Tasty rudeboy anthems from Cedric ‘Congos’ Myton, Devon Russell and co —  a dancehall tribute and a jailhouse portent. Double-bass in the place.

Bumping rocksteady — with a gospel, Toots flavour to the A; a little more booting rhythm and blues to the flip.

The Tartans — Prince Lincoln, Cedric Myton, Devon Russell and Berg Lewis.

Two goes, both brilliant, featuring ace trombone. The first take carries the swing, with its wailing, soul-jazz organ more to the fore.

Top-notch, super-soulful rocksteady.
With an alternate take.

Lloyd Charmers, Alva Lewis, Glen Adams and the Barrett brothers, holding a candle for ska at the close of the 1960s. With a precious, uptempo, alternate take, on the flip.
