A sweetly Christmassy, party-rocking rework of the William Bell / Booker T original.
Vernon Buckley and Gladstone Grant — by now The Mighty Maytones — produced by Sidney Crooks in the late-seventies.
Classic lonely-lover rocksteady, led by Tony Brevett, with the group on the rebound from Treasure Isle. A young Trinity rides out on the flip.
Beautifully stark and intense steppers cut of the Heptones classic, complete with two dubplate mixes. All previously unreleased.
Total murder.
Bernard Brown, Carlton Gregory, and Noel ‘Bunny’ Brown (from the Chosen Few), originally on the April imprint out of NYC in 1978.
Steppers paranoia par excellence.
Superb, previously unreleased ska group-vocal, with Baba Brooks and co in fine form.
Opportunity knocking once. Mid-tempo doowop-ska. On the flip, the Sneer Towners, hardly a household name themselves.
Quality US roots in extended mixes. More Relation started up in New York in 1977, backing the likes of Larry Marshall and Carlton Coffee.
The Treasure Isle masterwork… plus a sweetly rocking Tommy McCook.
Don’t miss the rocking steady Bacharach & David on the flip.
