Tough sides recorded by Jammys and Scientist, besides a couple of killers from the Black Ark — The Children Are Crying (with The Heptones) and Mr Scabina.

With a heap of extra discomixes, deejay cuts and dubs.

Joseph Hill, cuz Albert Walker, and pal Roy Dayes at their torrentially productive peak.
They came together in 1976 as the vocal trio The African Disciples. The next tear they re-named themselves Culture, and joined Joe Gibbs’ operation. In just one single year they cut enough top-quality sides to comprise four LPs, including the epochal Two Sevens Clash.
Here is the first anthology of those wonderful early singles, complete with dubs, and walk-ons for I-Roy, Nicodemus, U-Brown, and co.

Chris King from Dust To Digital giving a heap of Turkish 78s the pile-em-high, sell-em-cheap reissue treatment. Naff artwork and crap notes, but some marvellous music to wheedle out, no doubt.

A late-70s Nigerian blend of Kool And The Gang, Mandrill, and the Ohio Players… with a Moog synthesizer thrown in for good measure.

His first album simply under his own name, from 2022. ‘In a quieter, more meditative space than the pulsing, driving material found in his other groups Sons of Kemet, The Comet Is Coming, Shabaka and The Ancestors.’

Ace, lonesome digi from 1988, indebted to Tenor Saw, with Johnny Osbourne’s Can’t Buy Love submerged in its DNA. Crisp, driving dub.
Surely ‘Culture P’ would have been a better idea.
