Sweet, soaring, rocksteady courtship. BB Seaton, Delano Stewart and Maurice Roberts in top form. Plus a Ken Boothe scorcher — plangent, vocally idiosyncratic, stoic — masterfully channelling Otis.

Perfectly irresistible, bumptious girl-pop from Judy Mowatt’s group.

Very early Glads, from 1967, seemingly pre-Albert Griffiths — and a killer Tommy McCook instrumental. Both previously unreleased Duke Reid productions, when Trojan was properly trojan; by way of Japan.

Sweet rocksteady — expertly arranged, with boss guitar, horns and harmonies.
“We’re going to put it on… we are loaded… (long pause)... with soul music.”

Very nice, evocative mixture of ska, meringue, swing and co, from 1960, suited and booted by Dub Store.

Juggernaut version of the Four Tops, with Ike Bennett at the organ leading Ilya Kuryakin on the flip.

Sweet, uptempo rock steady from Henry Buckley, in 1968, with backing from The Gaylettes. A more rootsy, Biblical edge to the B-side, which was originally coupled with Roland Alphonso’s How Soon.

Herman Sang (from the Jiving Juniors) was at Brentford Road from the start, in the late-1950s.
This is wistful organ-combo r&b — pre-ska — with some sweet calypso jazz on the flip.

Characteristically melancholic, wise, masterful singing.
With a bumptious, flirtatious Valentines.

A second helping as sublimely pleasurable as the first, with Prince Buster, Rupie Edwards, Derrick Harriott, Dobby Dobson and Joe Higgs amongst the singers.
‘Enthralling to anyone,’ according to The Guardian.
