‘Previously unreleased recordings made over several nights of the Wailers’ West London residency in June 1976, during their Rastaman Vibration tour. Highlights include a transcendent version of Roots, Rock, Reggae, a rarely-performed Bend Down Low, an extended version of Crazy Baldhead, and a thirty-minute encore that incorporates a twelve-minute Get Up, Stand Up.’

Young bros Glen, Dalton, Noel, Cleveland and Danny, irresistibly doing over MJ for Geoffrey Chung. ‘She makes my motor purr.’

Superb, soulful, easy-rocking, Philly-dilly reggae. Old-school call-and-answer vocals, full of personality and charm; beautifully arranged, with criss horns. Class.

Ravishing black harmony roots; cheerfully apocalyptic, rhythmically swinging and buoyant, with bubbling horns and stripped dub. It’s a must.

Lloyd Forest, Tommy Thomas and Samuel Bramwell at Joe Gibbs.

Good grief, it’s actually The Chi-Lites, on a John John update of Sleng Teng.

Ace version of The Stylistics’ smash.

A worthy take on the Betty Wright classic, with funky drums and bass, rocking brass and jazzy flute. The guitarist gets his freak on, pon flip.

Cream-of-the-crop Island Soul, produced by Tony Robinson for TR Groove Master, featuring beautifully crafted covers of The Impressions, Betty Wright, Kool & The Gang, The Moments, Smokey Robinson, The Stylistics…

After you’ve worn out Heart Of The Congos, this is next.
Aquarius vibes, leading with the killer Days Chasing Days.
