Great early-eighties Channel 1 excursion on the same version of DEB’s Revolution rhythm as Barrington Levy’s Black Rose.

Bim! Paula is yearningly soulful over a brooding rhythm by The Gladiators Band, classic Channel-One-style and brilliantly dubwise from the start — whilst Singie Singie is relaxed and engaging over another brilliant, quite different mix on the flip. Valiantly retrieved from releases on W&B in Toronto and Tonos in the UK. Both sides discomix.

Conscious lovers — Paulette’s own upful, considered advice, delivered with fresh, youthful persuasiveness, and deadly horns. Another killer one-away.

Sweet, sweet sufferers on Tommy McCook’s lovely Schenectady’s Shock rhythm, featuring Augustus Pablo on glockenspiel. (‘Shock probation’ is an alternative to prison in Schenectady County, New York.)

Heartfelt, blessed early-eighties Maxfield Avenue roots, in short supply from the off. Pressed from the original stamper, Digikiller-style: a few clicks at the start can’t test rudie.

Dapper 1967 rocksteady, previously unreleased. Eddie also recorded as a duo with Alton Ellis — Alton And Eddy.

Vintage, discursive, witty-and-wise dancehall toasting by the Metro Media Sound deejay and Jammys trooper; originally released on his own imprint.

Lovely, upful, Chi-Town, rare groove vibes, with falsetto singing, horns and chorus. Produced by BB Seaton;  originally out on Golden Heart in 1974.

An excellent Echo Minott LP for Jammys in 1981. Sly and Robbie, Deadly Headley, Winston Wright and co. The opener is a killer next take of the awesome Open The Gate Bobby Boy rhythm.

Both these sides are previously unreleased blends of the old and the new, in extended mixes.
Can’t Fool I re-unites the born-a-fighter roots warrior with Tasha producer George Nicholson, his chum from school — at last voicing a rhythm from the label’s first-ever recording session, at Channel One in 1978, with the Revolutionaries.
Easy Skanking is Alla on a brand new rhythm by Danny Bassie and Barnabas.
