Ruff A Them

Prince Jammy's Dub / Dub Store

Thumping soundboy frightener from 1987, with nice Eastern flourishes.

Junior Brammer

Princess Street

Vena / Dub Store

Buoyant anthem to ghetto people boutiques.
You can get anything on Princess Street, ‘from a pin to an anchor… Just have some cash, and you will conquer.’ Not like Orange Street, which is always getting shut down by plod.
Transfixingly stone-faced dub, for all hard-core Channel One massive.

Long Day Short Night

Prince Buster / Rock A Shacka

Prince Buster

High Blood Pressure

Rock A Shacka

Characteristically bootin’, irresistible version of Huey Smith’s millions-selling New Orleans R&B smash. (What a monster 45 that was, double-headed with Don’t You Just Know It. Huey and his Clowns, fronted by drag queen Bobby Marchan.)
With a spirited Derrick & Patsy duet on the flip, enlivened by handclap percussion.

Roland Alphonso

Almost Like Being In Love

Prince Buster / Rock A Shacka

Two jazz burners.
A shuffling, r&b version of a Lerner & Loewe tune from Brigadoon, by way of Nat King Cole.
Plus an instrumental one-away featuring Baba Brooks, Roland Alphonso and Lester Sterling. One of the reed players puts his foot in it, with a squawk, but who cares. Guess that’s why it’s previously unreleased and such a precious release now.

Prince Allah

Naw Go A Them Burial

Joe Gibbs

Lascelles Denton

Prince Pharoah

Gingles / Common Ground

Ace mid-seventies roots and dub. Doomily austere and on-point, with both piano and organ, crisp high-hats, and and wickedly effective backing vocals.
An unmissable one-away, produced and arranged by Denton as the solitary release on his own label.

Teddy Charmer

All In My Life

Prince Buster / Rock A Shacka

Errol Dunkley

Blessed Is The Man

Record Smith / Digikiller

A previously unreleased mix of the great man toasting over a one-away Satta excursion, for Lloydie Slim; and a previously unreleased dub.

Prince Allah

Dread Lox Nazarene

Dalpin

Freddie McKay

Giving You Try Girl

Prince Buster

Icho Candy & Prince Junior

Free Up

Jah Life / Digikiller

Icho Candy & his brother Prince Junior go combination-style on this previously unreleased anti-apartheid missile, using the same sick rhythm as King Kong’s unmissable Agony And Pain.

Prince Far I

Let Jah Arise

Orbit
