Curtis Mayfield, every way but loose. A version of The Impressions’ classic marks PK’s first recording with Bunny Lee; and Glen Adams moodily rides the same rhythm Lee used for Slim Smith’s cover of Gypsy Woman, on the flip.

Copper-bottomed rocksteady do-over of Take Five, by Buster’s go-to saxophonist. The title is nicked from a comedy film directed by Norman Jewison, out a couple of years beforehand in 1966.
Plus Glen Adams having a not so shabby go at an Eddie Holman, on the flip.

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

Easy-squeeze, rocking steady loveliness from 1968.

Unmissable rocksteady: a magnificent version of the Curtis; and a hard-rocking Never Let Me Go.
