Wow… the triumphant comeback of the indomitable King Culture. Super-heavy, Radics-style, wrecking-ball rhythm; proper singing; tough dub. The mixing of the harmony singing is magical.

‘Close your eyes. What do you hear? Do you hear your own heartbeat? Do you hear the grasshopper which is at your feet?’ ‘Old man, how is it that you hear these things?’ ‘Young man, how is it that you do not?’

A highlight of the monumental Africa Must Be Free LP, never out on seven before, plus masterful dub. Such a great singer, shot dead at twenty-one during an argument about a stolen food-mixer.

The great singer addressing false authority, apartheid and the squandering of black lives. The rhythm is Tubby’s ace, ominous, digi re-working of Yabby You’s Conquering Lion.

Rare Jammys singles plus a trailer load of previously unreleased cuts, including do-overs of Police & Thieves and Cool Out Son.
