Magnificent, militant roots with the heart of a lion. Bunny’s greatest record under his own name, much superior to the version on the Liberation LP, this was originally released as a UK disco 45 in the early eighties.

Heavyweight, apocalyptic Bunny, with a burial b-line, burning horns, masterful dub. By a mile the best thing on Blackheart Man.

Ferociously magnificent, utterly crucial collection of his late-seventies singles, chanting it down like a more blood-and-fire, non-bucolic Burning Spear. Produced by Glen Brown, mixed by King Tubby. Towering roots reggae, inspired through and through, from start to finish; hotly recommended.

Rough, tough, searing steppers from the Meditation, with a killer-diller Dillinger, produced by Isha Morrison — Mrs Lee Perry — and originally out on Orchid.

Two cuts from the LP High Times Present New Talents Ghetto Youths Showdown.
The MW is killer roots, not to be missed. You can hear Scientist in the dubwise mix.
With Clive ‘From Creation’ Hylton, on the flip.

Tough mid-seventies steppers from the US, in tow to Johnny Clarke. A one-away for Bev; nothing to do with Jah Shaka (except he’d run it).
Rough dub, too.

Ace vocal excursion on Augustus Pablo’s monumental 555 Crown Street rhythm, from 1979.
Notwithstanding his unforgettable Fuckerys A Gwaan, that’s gotta be Jah Bull’s finest moment, on the flip.

Driving Shaka murder. Fury and yearning folded into a perfect blend of digital and old-school music-making. A drum-machine and Bagga Walker from Studio One tear up the dub. Complete with rare, ebullient Colarman toast.
