‘If you are poor, you walk in your shoes, you lean.’ Three Unity revive 12s in today, remastered and in spanking new sleeves. Altogether, as a label, the greatest UK digi there ever was.

Actually this is Tyrone Evans from The Paragons, not Tyrone Davis the Chicago Soul singer, doing over Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell in fine style.
With Dave Barker’s moonstomping classic Funkey Reggae on the flip, poised between Shocks Of A Mighty for The Upsetter, and his international smash with Ansel Collins, Double Barrel.
Then again, “Don’t watch that, watch this.”

Fatis digi.
Opening with a Dennis Brown feint, Katt whirls through vegetarianism, military repression, street crime and religious salvation.

Ace mid-seventies roots and dub. Doomily austere and on-point, with both piano and organ, crisp high-hats, and and wickedly effective backing vocals.
An unmissable one-away, produced and arranged by Denton as the solitary release on his own label.

Rocking digital roots from Derwin Dawes, Donald Marshall and Anthony ‘Ringo Paul’ Hill — aka the Mighty Rulers, aka D’Nations — recorded in 1998, though never released before on vinyl.

Irresistible reggaeficatory bazookaings of Manu Dibango’s Soul Makossa, upping the old-school funk, and garbling extra mamas.

Tough NYC digi excursion on the E20 rhythm.
