Magnificent, super-soulful sufferers for the ages; full of yearning and hurt, and staying power.

Everton is compellingly beside himself, over a dazzling, bare-bones, digi do-over of the rocksteady classic Tonight.
Previously unreleased.
Fire.

Grooving, spaced-out, late-seventies jazz-funk, which first surfaced in 2006 on the Inedit 79 compilation. Same super-classy spaceway as Fantasy by Earth Wind & Fire. That Raekwon knows a tune when he hears one.

A skittering, stop-start, dubwise, vintage rhythm — sounds like Family Man at Studio One — pulsating with submarine sonar.
Al Campbell lights it up 2025-style with a coolly defiant, denunciatory sufferers. Live, dubplate vibes, kicking off with a nod to his hosts in Shepherds Bush, and a quick Orthodox represent represent.
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. ‘Babylon them a criminal, Babylon them an animal, Babylon them a conman, Babylon them a ginal.’
Killer diller dub, too, with a stark, reedy dose of the Sugar Bellys.
Crucial bunny. Crunchy and tasty; proper underground vegetable business.
Bim.

A New Breed R&B humdinger.

From the same 1979 recording sessions as Strange Celestial Road, this is one of Sun Ra’s best-loved, funkiest records, with John Gilmore in full flight, and a bigger Arkestra than had just played the Moers festival.

Heavy Lloydie Coxsone production (with Sly, Horsemouth, Malawi, Bagga, Chinna, McCook and the rest), featuring Shaka favourites like Homeward Bound and Voice Of The Poor. Tougher than the classic Black Star Liner album.
