Celebrated dubplate version of DEB’s Promised Land; and Earl 16 on Trial And Crosses.
Nice, mid-tempo tune, Eek A Mouse style and fashion.
‘Yes we nice, yes we nice… Hold them, music, hold them, yes, we control them… no we nah go let them stray.’ Dancehall manners — on the rhythm Delgado used for Rasta People — as clinically murderous as all-time EJ hits for Jammys like Rock Them One By One and Turn Up The Heat.
A hollowed-out, minor-chord rhythm… SB bubbling moodily about ‘if you’re having a problem and you don’t know to solve them, down the road there is a party’... a stripped, brilliant dub.
Classic Jammys from 1987.
Tough Jammys do-over of Cuss Cuss, with dangerous bass and banging dub, and Junior in no mood for messing. ‘Galong before we chop off your hand.’
Top-notch digi sufferers from 1987. Plenty of Dennis in Leroy’s singing.
Startling digi do-over of Yabby You’s great Jesus Dread rhythm, with a driving, tumping dub and sermonizing keys. Mis-credited to Phillip Fraser on the label.
Horatian worries on the wicked E20 rhythm.
Thumping soundboy frightener from 1987, with nice Eastern flourishes.
Ain’t no house like Waterhouse for Black Crucial, Anthony Johnson, Junior Reid and co.
