Tough dubs of a clued-up selection of Techniques rhythms, from 1976, including Stalag, Cheer Up Black Man, and Johnny Osbourne’s interpretation of The Delfonics’ Ready Or Not. Ace.

Two songs from the Weh Dem Fah album — Wicked Can’t Run Away and Sleng Teng excursions.
Tough, dismissive, soundboy digi. A King Tubby dubplate from 1986.
