Lovely, upful roots, with signature Bunny Wailer trimmings.
The flip is a brilliant, dubwise, rare Big Youth, massive with life and creativity.

Lovely Impressions impressions on the eve of the group’s departure from Brentford Road.

Characteristically daring report of Haile Selassie’s visit to JA, kicking off in Amharic. A knees-up crossing of gospel, ska and rhythm and blues — the pianist and drummer taking different views — with vocal backing by The Gaylads. Plus a Soul Brothers on the flip.

Re-launching the Mittoo classic, aimed one step beyond, with intrepid space synths and drum machine (and mangled chanting on the flip). Strong Upsetters flavours.

Next Bunny Wailer installment from Dubstore Tokyo. You know the drill: silkscreened sleeves, beautiful labels, and out of this world selecting, like this limber, jazzy gem, still wiser than Solomon.

A deadly, zonked Soul Syndicate excursion on Westbound Train, with Keith Hudson as the Fat Controller. Introducing a young LT — his first recording, he says — stylistically indebted to Dennis Brown.

Celebrated dubplate version of DEB’s Promised Land; and Earl 16 on Trial And Crosses.

A fresh, deadly combination of rocksteady with funk and British Invasion.
With a Beatles on the flip.

The Stepping Razor’s inspired melodica cut of Armagideon has the dreadest atmosphere of the lot.

Killer Osibisa do-over.
‘Trammy’ was the nickname of trombonist Ron Wilson; but this is Vin Gordon.

Soundboy vibes over a hard-driving, clattering rhythm.
