Wholesome digi-roots bumper from 1990; rinsed by Shaka in the day.

Doomy, futuristic, Channel One rub-a-dub, with sick synths and vocoder courtesy of producer Earl Lindo at Tuff Gong. The Version says everything that needs to be said.
Killer. Strongly recommended.

Originally released in amongst late-1978 masterworks like Danny Hemsworth’s Mr Money Man and the Sons Of Light’s Land Of Love, this one-away is another crucial piece of Black Art. Sublime black-harmony storytelling; stunning, spaced-out dub-izm. Check the version.

This beautiful acoustic cut is previously unissued. Raw soulful lovers, with close-harmony backing, and double bass and guitar as irresistible as Egyptian Reggae. Terrific.

Killer, stripped mix, with a slightly different vocal to the standard issue, bringing extra flashes of sublimity and raw menace; plus a dub beloved of Jahlovemuzik, back in the mid-1970s.

The third, 1980 LP of this vocal trio led by Trevor Bow. Recorded at Treasure Isle with expert backing by the Negus Dawtus, Family Man, Chinna, Rico…

Mythical 1981 recording by the Mancunian eleven-piece, supervised by Prince Hammer. Reason was the sound-boy weapon. Compellingly off-kilter and atmospheric.

The Tartans — Prince Lincoln, Cedric Myton, Devon Russell and Berg Lewis.

Tasty rudeboy anthems from Cedric ‘Congos’ Myton, Devon Russell and co —  a dancehall tribute and a jailhouse portent. Double-bass in the place.

Bumping rocksteady — with a gospel, Toots flavour to the A; a little more booting rhythm and blues to the flip.
