Wow.
Deep, dark, synthy mixes of this anthemic, hurting masterpiece; previously unreleased.

The unmissable first outing of this wonderful song; recorded for Sonia Pottinger in the early seventies. A little way different to the all-time-classic Channel One version, but a round-one knockout on its own account.

Soon after leaving JA for the US in 1978, Max conducted this moody survey of 8th Avenue, Manhattan.
With the same measures of disgust, funk and soul as Melt Away.
Don’t miss the organ instrumental on the flip, originally entitled Sin City. Jackie Mittoo in his own time and space.

Black Ark magic. Al Campbell steps up with teacherly scorn, as clear as a bell.

Superb, sombre, tautly grooving sufferers, produced by George Woodhouse.
Same singer as Reward, on Channel One. Twin, dread killers.
