Recorded under the name Bumpy Jones, for Jerry Brown’s Summer label in Toronto (same Upsetters family tree as Bullwackies and Half Moon).
Ramshackle, tottering, bloodshot; brilliant, freely creative and compelling.
The killer dub is entitled Jah Jah Symphony In B Minor. Pretty droll.
Beautifully sung protest against police violence, over a tight Jammy’s rhythm, from the same period as Folly Ranking.
With an alternative mix, and two dubs, foregrounding the brilliant drumming.
Chilled, elevated, hypnotic, move-on-up grooving, out of the Miami reggae underground.
“I know how / to milk a cow.”
The classic digital destroyer, recorded at Aquarius in 1987.
Cyaan be no loefah.
Slightly theatrical female sufferers from 1977, arranged by Cedric Brooks.
From 1982 — with the Roots Radics and Jah Thomas at Channel One.
Sweet Stalag business.
