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

Aka Clive Hylton, alongside Russ D from The Disciples.
Shaka business, also much favoured by Aba Shanti.

Ace, lonesome digi from 1988, indebted to Tenor Saw, with Johnny Osbourne’s Can’t Buy Love submerged in its DNA. Crisp, driving dub.
Surely ‘Culture P’ would have been a better idea.

A militant steppers — reminiscent of Johnny Clarke’s Blood Dunza — with magnificent trombone-playing by Vin Gordon. Shaka fire. Ace.

Total murder!
A stealth-weapon version of the classic tune — same sublime Gregory, plus fatter-than-your-mama trombone by Vin Gordon, and evilous Niney dub.
Dennis Brown and Dillinger incinerate the B-side, too… Jah Is Watching / Flat Foot Hustling.
Unmissable.

Tastily off-kilter mid-seventies roots excursion on Artibella.

Jux alongside Adrian Sherwood, in 2005.
Thunderous… with a magnificent burning-horns dub masterminded by London Is The Place alumnus Harry Beckett.

Fab Phang chugger. Barrington kills it; grooving dub.

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.

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 Caribbean disco by the same Trini bros behind the West End boogie classic Touch Your Life. Lithely grooving; expertly arranged.
Presumably the same Glen Miller who did Whey No Dead and How Can You Mend, for Studio One.

Vintage UK digital, animated by Sugar; a Shaka tune in the day.
(A bit disappointingly, Preacher Cleavie Jefferey is three men: producers Preacher, Cleveland Neunie and Jeffrey Beckford.)
