Lovely harmonising by Devon Russell, Prince Lincoln Thompson, Cedric Myton and Lindburgh Lewis, over a chunky rocksteady rhythm. Plus a sweetly imploring Tommy McCook instrumental on the flip, with deft guitar-work by Hux Brown, and a gently rocking brass section.

Bumping, soulful ska. Plus Tommy McCook’s brilliant Goldfinger, on the flip.

No less than an alternate take of the almighty rocksteady classic from 1968. Backed with a Tommy McCook instrumental featuring organist Winston Wright.

Ravishing vocal harmonies over magnificent Augustus Pablo rhythms, with the Black Ark in the mix.
Only Jah Jah know but schoolfriends Carlton Hines, Paul Mangaroo and Dave Harvey professionally named themselves after their local soundsystem in Mountain View, which in turn copped the moniker from the Tetrarchic rule of the Roman Emperor Diocletian, in the third century.

The Dennis Bovell / Matumbi dub set from 1976.
‘The peak of the era’s UK roots dub. For dubbing at its wildest, check out Za-lon and its version Halfway To Za-lon’ (Steve Barker, The Wire).

Jackie Bernard leading a thumping, yearning overture; backed with The Valentines’ classic Blam Blam Fever. Top-notch rock steady.

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