Black Ark business.

Anthony Doyley is the singer on The Classics’ Civilization. Here he is tearing up the mic ten years later in 1980, two years after Knowledge stopped at the Black Ark.
Imagine being managed by Tapper Zukie.

Ishu and Xylon from Sound Iration, produced by Manasseh for Youth Sound in 1990. Quality digi UK steppers, with a nice melodica version, and a hollowed-out dub.

The Love Joys’ first album, initially released in 1981 on the Florida-based Top Ranking label. Ten tunes produced and recorded at Wackies NY, ranging from lovers rock and uptempo dance vibes to roots and reality.

Ace.
Chugging, confessional, Chicagoan loveliness from Delroy Williams, Ricky Grant and George Allison.
‘I have seen the moment of my greatness flicker, And I have seen the eternal Footman hold my coat, and snicker, And in short, I was afraid.’

Magnificent 1980 roots, full of moody Channel One vibes.

Definitive Remasters CD.

Heavy, stricken, searing Wailers; dreader than dread. Plus one of the all-time great dubs: desolate, abyssal; a matter of life and death.
