Lilly Melody

What Your Sound Can Do

Firehouse / Dub Store

Tough, dismissive, soundboy digi. A King Tubby dubplate from 1986.

King Kong

Trouble Again

Greensleeves

A title track which never ages, unfortunately.

King Kong

Agony And Pain

Jah All Mighty / Digikiller

Celebrated late-eighties soundboy business — another of his very best, revived at last.

King Kong

Come Down

Jah All Mighty / Digikiller

Highly recommended — previously unreleased digi fire from the same sessions and mould as He Was A Friend.

King Kong

Hold Your Prestige

Jah All Mighty / Digikiller

Characteristically masterful singjaying; duetting with himself, for added dancehall vibes. The message calls for self-respect to be tempered by humility… probably a bit rich coming from KK. Sick rhythm.

King Kong

Unity

Massive B

Nathan Davis Sextet

Peace Treaty

Sam Records

Recorded in Paris, 1965, at the time of the Vietnam peace talks. ‘Donald Byrd occasionally played with us at the Blue Note, so he came in and helped produce the record.’

Cultural Roots

Hell A Go Pop

Greensleeves

Great album this; recommended with infernal heat. Beautiful close-harmony singing, killer tunes, tough rhythms, engaging songs. Junjo at Maxfield Avenue, with the Roots Radics. Heavy and luminous from start to finish.

Cultural Roots

No Fish Head

Firehouse / Dub Store

Ace early Tubbys digi — stripped and moody — with fine, amusing vocals.

Demos (1973-1975)

Far Out

‘On every track the frenetic energy in the studio is palpable, giving the recordings a beautifully personal feel and a sense of the phenomenally creative vision Bertrami, Malheiros and Conti were realising at the time. Fifty years on, Azymuth’s earliest recorded music retains an ineffable, futuristic quality, standing amongst their most captivating and moving work.’
