Collecting the first five Burial Mix tens, all featuring Tikiman, with their dubs.

A brilliant, taut take on vintage Wackies, there on the flip.

Their epochal 1997 masterpiece inaugurating the Rhythm & Sound label.
Half an hour of judge-long-sentence steppers.
A stone masterpiece of modern dub, towering over the field till kingdom come.

In-a-state TWENTY-EIGHT original Upsetters here.
All mint or near enough; labels as pictured.
This one is prime Dennis Alcapone.

‘An absolute must,’ as Steve Barker writes in The Wire. ‘The main Attraction is the dubplate mixes of the Jah Shaka power play Jah No Parshall, here retitled Gates Of Zion. One astonishing dub mix features vocals from Prince Mohammed aka George Nooks in his early deejay guise. Chopped from the lyric and dropped into the chasmic dub mix, the phrase ‘heavy as lead’ would have made an apt title.’

Heart-breaking, skilfully epistolary song-writing from inside the belly of Apartheid, on a killer rhythm.

Tell them, Shabba.

Knockout eco-roots. Shaka liked it so much he put it out himself.

The Roots Radics in full effect. Rugged, heavy and alive, especially the dub.
