1966 rocksteady, elegantly heartfelt as Nat King Cole.
Rock Fort Rock and China Town excursions.
Characteristically bootin’, irresistible version of Huey Smith’s millions-selling New Orleans R&B smash. (What a monster 45 that was, double-headed with Don’t You Just Know It. Huey and his Clowns, fronted by drag queen Bobby Marchan.)
With a spirited Derrick & Patsy duet on the flip, enlivened by handclap percussion.
Unmistakably sexy, classy SC over fun, rickety island disco produced by Franklyn Waul — from the Taxi Gang — in 1988.
Inspired singing, feel-the-vibes deejaying, and awesome Scientist/Tubbys mixes via Channel One in 1980.
Jeesus Chroyss, we noice.
Rough! Same rhythm as Frankie Paul’s Leave It To Me. Moody, inimitable, brilliant Jammys, with inspirational singing by the great CC.
Typically fine singing, over crisp, bare Tubbys digi, with strong backing vocals on both sides.
Hey Mr. Cop is a draft of the song he recorded for Bunny Lee, over Rumours; the flip does over his Jammys smash.
Dubplate action.
Wow.
Deep, dark, synthy mixes of this anthemic, hurting masterpiece; previously unreleased.
Two previously unreleased sides by this compelling singer: Get Up Natty was cut at Channel One in the mid-eighties, with backing by the Gifted Roots Band, featuring some sick synths and effects; No Peace is new, with Icho still in fine voice, debuting a rhythm by Danny Bassie from the Firehouse Crew, and Channel One legend Barnabas.
Yodelling beautifully over a deadly digi do-over of Easy Take it Easy, ticking and bare-bones. Never previously released… but ace.
