The finest of his dancehall interventions with the Roots Radics, as the eighties progressed. This is taut and simple, tough and atmospheric, triumphant.

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.

Recording at King Jammy’s and Channel One in the late 80s, with Junior Delgado at the controls, Mice let off a series of records amongst the very deadliest of digital reggae.

Paul Whiteman aka Paul Blackman with a self-doubting, heartfelt lover’s lament, with moody, Sounds From The East backing vocals, over a deadly rhythm. Correctly matched with its masterful dub, too; subtler and gentler than the Tubby’s excursion on Meets Rockers Uptown.

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.

The Afrotone’s beautiful, sad excoriation of war, militarism and stock notions of military heroism.
Scars of war? Me no want.
Originally out in 1983 on Vin Hur. With the High Times Players.
