Moody, heavy lovers, detourned by FW’s full-throated falsetto. Ace.
Invoking The Delfonics’ Do You Remember, and flipping its melody the other way around. Recorded at the Damon Studios in Kansas City (owned by Victor Damon, inventor of the spring reverb).
Luminously upful mid-seventies roots.
Scunna’s bro King Tubby dishes up a heavy dub.
Lovely record.
Solid early-eighties Channel One, tooled to rock a dance, and till now played exclusively on dubplate by Jahlovemuzik.
Previously a super-scarce JA blank. Hail the almighty Don D’s scorching solo — flashing a split-second premonition of Rico on Message To You, Rudy.
Two terrific, previously unreleased excursions on the Amos Milburn.
The trombone holds it down like Giant Haystacks, but that’s a tenor saxophone solo.
Lovely stuff.
Rough! Same rhythm as Frankie Paul’s Leave It To Me. Moody, inimitable, brilliant Jammys, with inspirational singing by the great CC.
Wholesome digi-roots bumper from 1990; rinsed by Shaka in the day.
The Treasure Isle masterwork… plus a sweetly rocking Tommy McCook.
Tough mid-seventies steppers from the US, in tow to Johnny Clarke. A one-away for Bev; nothing to do with Jah Shaka (except he’d run it).
Rough dub, too.
Peerless cover of the soul classic — recorded at Randy’s in 1974 with Fully Fullwood, Chinna Smith, Tony Chin, Santa Davis… and Errol T at the controls.
It’s no surprise that Carless is a soul boy, into Jerry Butler and The Dells back then; one half of the Little Roys, when they cut Bongo Nyah for Lloyd Daley.
Crucial bunny.
