Riding a new version of killer Roy Dobson roots with the lyrics of his Photographer classic… but actually it’s the flute-led dub which does it for us.

Wow… the triumphant comeback of the indomitable King Culture. Super-heavy, Radics-style, wrecking-ball rhythm; proper singing; tough dub. The mixing of the harmony singing is magical.

Great to have the Saxon man back, in top form on this slug of nasty NW1 digi.

The great UK MC retrieves his war chest from the potting shed.
An expert, moody Tuff Scout re-lick, with a haunting new vibes part and lethal effects.

The greatest UK MC of them all, setting fire to Tempo.
Soundboy willies. Do it Jah.
Amenably sick, synthy dub.

Tuff Scout rises to the occasion with a majestic rhythm, echoing and musically boned, sat well back in the saddle like Brother Roy’s Different Experience; whilst the great man does an entertaining variation of Memphis Tennessee. Ace dub.
Long Distance Information? May I speak to the High Priest?

Tough Beres Simpson revive. With the Roots Radics, maybe.

The return of Ramon Judah (from the first ever Tuff Scout).

Crucial Gil Cang re-do of the eighties classic, with the man himself at the mic.

Mythical 1981 recording by the Mancunian eleven-piece, supervised by Prince Hammer. Reason was the sound-boy weapon. Compellingly off-kilter and atmospheric.

Exclusive mixes of key versions in the TS mission so far, dub-plate style.

Lovely trodding-on steppers.
