Pious sex-pol, on a tuff Billie Jean lick. ‘When you come home, a next man asleep in your pyjamas… and then you charge fi murder, Jah Jah know. The man them a worries but the woman them a problem.’

Infectiously spirited do-over of Horace Andy’s Higher Range. In three parts — vocal, toast, melodica dub.

Fab Phang chugger. Barrington kills it; grooving dub.

From the Life Style LP, produced by Alvin Ranglin in 1981, where it’s entitled I Hold The Handle. The lyrics re-purpose The Heptones, drawing its male-vs-female venom. Barrington’ superb singing luxuriates in this restrained, mid-tempo setting.
Plus dub.

Ace Barrington, from the Englishman sessions; with a concussive Scientist dub.

Prime, early-eighties Barrington, expertly fronting chunky Radics on rhythms like The Russians Are Coming and Get In The Groove, in Scientist mixes. No losing with those cards.
