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.

Tremendous, transformative interpretation of the Bassies at Studio One — mournful, trenchant, rocking, heavy, dubwise… bad.

Killer, full-steam-ahead, Channel One rub a dub, with startling effects, produced by Bebo Phillips and Clive Jarrett.

Wicked EP!
Lloyd Parks’ soulful sufferers, beautifully sung — a worthy reggae answer to Joe Bataan’s sublime Ordinary Guy — plus a deadly dub, with mad effects; then a melodica outing by Augustus Pablo, with clavichord; and finally the gob-smacking leave-the-studio-sah excursion.
Trumps trumping trumps.
