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.

Breathtaking US roots. A super-heavyweight, high-drama Zap Pow rhythm, with luminous singing by Horace Campbell, on his own label. Second of just two Black Spades. You’d be mad to pass.

Inspired singing, feel-the-vibes deejaying, and awesome Scientist/Tubbys mixes via Channel One in 1980.
Jeesus Chroyss, we noice.

With the High Times players.

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.

With a deadly, riding-east tang to the moody rhythm, sublime singing, murderous bass… Scorcher.

Wow.
Deep, dark, synthy mixes of this anthemic, hurting masterpiece; previously unreleased.
