Angry, tear-up digi, both sides.
Two scorchers from 1989; blazing out of Annotto Bay, on the northeastern coast of JA.

Two great sides: MF in fine sufferers style on a flinty Roots Radics version of No More Will I Roam (though you can’t refine Niney); and a vibesing Rockfort Rock from Ranking Joe, on the flip.

Ineffable roots and dub by the Prophet, cutting loose on his own unmissable version of the all-time Yabby You classic.

This classy lovers was Sharon’s breakthrough, fronting the Now Generation band for Geoffrey Chung in 1973, in an achingly regretful Armstead / Ashford / Simpson song about female disillusionment (laid waste by Cilla Black the previous year).

Rupie Edward’s wise and witty account of the 1973 Foreman-Frazier fight in Jamaica, over his own deadly Down Below rhythm, with tasty dashings of Errol Dunkley, and the influence of Lee Perry in full effect. Pure vibes.
Featured in its instrumental glory on the flip, the rhythm appealed so much to Coxsone Dodd that he bootlegged it.

This is ace.
Sweet harmonies; a majestic, more-ish rhythm, with a touch of the natural mystic. A lover’s open-hearted overture without the usual screwface braggadocio: ‘Me look like a lion but me humble like a lamb.’
An under-stated classic by the Indian-Jamaican Silpatt brothers.

Deadly, hip-hop-inflected, soundboy version of Skylarking. Nasty bass.

Ace, rampaging digi.
