Stupendous rendition of a Chinese folk song over red-hot rocksteady, produced by Ronnie Narsalla in 1967. Aimed at the Chinese community in Kingston; super-rare ever since.
Pure worries. The guaranteed musical detonation of any kind of dance or party.
Cheng, evidently, not Chang. Essential reading, here.
The definitive version of this sufferers’ anthem, in the best format, with a killer dub following up the deejay cut on the flip.
A short-run reissue of this excellent roots production by Carlton Lewis. Same singer as Jazzbo’s Step Forward.

Stalag… and The Carpenters’ Top Of The World.

Classic Jammys from 1987.
Olive ‘Senya’ Grant makes Horace Andy’s Please Don’t Go her own.
Family Man at the controls, on Clive Chin’s ticket.
