Excellent dub set originally released in 1988, based around Tetrack’s classic Let’s Get Started LP, from nearly a decade before. Roomy and reverberating, with synths preferred to melodica.

Classy digi dub from 1987 — the living, but chilled and de-populated Pablo sound-world — with killer dillers like Raggamuffin Year and Seven Seals on the desk.

From 1982 — with the Roots Radics and Jah Thomas at Channel One.

Majestic 1982 LP with Junjo at Channel One.

Even leaving aside the epochal title track, this is unmissable. Wildly original Jammys rhythms, cool as cucumber, with his old next-door-neighbour in full flow. Fire like E20, Like A Dragon, My Lord My God, Icky All Over…

Ravishing vocal harmonies over magnificent Augustus Pablo rhythms, with the Black Ark in the mix.
Only Jah Jah know but schoolfriends Carlton Hines, Paul Mangaroo and Dave Harvey professionally named themselves after their local soundsystem in Mountain View, which in turn copped the moniker from the Tetrarchic rule of the Roman Emperor Diocletian, in the third century.

Classic LP with the Roots Radics, mixed by Scientist at Tubbys.

King Tubby meets the Roots Radics.

One of the very greatest reggae LPs of all time. Sublime singing; deep, passionate song-writing; tough-nut Radics; Junjo and Scientist at the desk. Packed with killers. Utterly essential.
