Tough, thumping Jammys from 1989, with expert falsetto singing from CT.

Tough Jammys do-over of Cuss Cuss, with dangerous bass and banging dub, and Junior in no mood for messing. ‘Galong before we chop off your hand.’

Rock Fort Rock and China Town excursions.

Celebrated dubplate version of DEB’s Promised Land; and Earl 16 on Trial And Crosses.

Casio and percussion nut-outs from Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania. Songs about the concrete jungle, infidelity and voodoo, Mchiriku-style.

With Virgil Jones, Clarence Thomas, Melvin Sparks, Jimmy Lewis, Buddy Caldwell and Harold Mabern. Roars out of the traps with a low-slung Express Yourself; then Joe Dukes’ Soulful Drums; then a cooking Super Bad.

Recorded by Rudy Van Gelder in 1980; with George Coleman and Pharoah Sanders on tenor saxophones, playing beautifully.
Senior and refined, intimate and honest, with a superb sound to Idris’ drumming and Ray Drummond’s bass. Ace version of I Want To Talk About You.
“So now I’m signed with Theresa Records… Fantasy paid me for the last record and I didn’t have to record no more for them because I didn’t want to do no more stupid disco records… I thought Kabsha would be like a John Coltrane record… I only did the one record for Theresa. Another player, who was on the record and who I think owned part of the label — it outsold his records. Pharoah got angry.”

The Imperial Bodyguard Band singer, who tuned his guitar like an oud. Oromo reasoning about love, existence and resistance, with a tasty Arab twang. Mississippi presented him on vinyl recently.
