Perfect uptempo rock steady from the Gaylad (copping a little British Invasion, a bit late in the day). The flip carries the swing, though: a magnificent horns cut to Delano’s Tell Me Baby, by The Gaysters.

Fatis digi.
Opening with a Dennis Brown feint, Katt whirls through vegetarianism, military repression, street crime and religious salvation.

Ace mid-seventies roots and dub. Doomily austere and on-point, with both piano and organ, crisp high-hats, and and wickedly effective backing vocals.
An unmissable one-away, produced and arranged by Denton as the solitary release on his own label.

Rocking digital roots from Derwin Dawes, Donald Marshall and Anthony ‘Ringo Paul’ Hill — aka the Mighty Rulers, aka D’Nations — recorded in 1998, though never released before on vinyl.

Peerless cover of the soul classic — recorded at Randy’s in 1974 with Fully Fullwood, Chinna Smith, Tony Chin, Santa Davis… and Errol T at the controls.
It’s no surprise that Carless is a soul boy, into Jerry Butler and The Dells back then; one half of the Little Roys, when they cut Bongo Nyah for Lloyd Daley.
Crucial bunny.

Irresistible reggaeficatory bazookaings of Manu Dibango’s Soul Makossa, upping the old-school funk, and garbling extra mamas.
