Eddie Harris’ bassist with an effects box and guests like Lester Bowie and Phil Upchurch. Same vibes as Charles Stepney, the best Ramsey Lewis Cadets, early Earth, Wind And Fire…
‘Verve By Request.’

Three hours from the legendary Festival — Rance Allen, The Emotions, The Temprees, The Soul Children, Isaac Hayes, Richard Pryor, The Staples Singers, The Bar-Kays, Rufus Thomas and the rest.

Feeling, folkey soul from 1977, with Skull Snaps and Jimmy Castor crew.

Not for the faint-hearted — dark and dirty psych improv from Chie Mukai, Eric Cordier and Seichi Yamamoto (Boredoms). Moody, subterranean squalls and drones, blowing up like a bad-tempered Fushitsusha.

Sweet, heavy lovers, with Perry’s genius touch, from early 1978 — concluding the singer’s illustrious accomplishments at the Black Ark, recently including backing vocals on Chant Down Babylon Kingdom, for Yabby You, Travelling, behind Deborah Keese, and the classic Freedom, under his own name.

Earl Sixteen over two moody Channel One rhythms, around 1984; both with serious dubs, all previously unreleased.

Hymning the power of reggae, over a re-licked, surging Conquering Lion, with worrisome Tubbys bass. The dub is here.

Soulful, rootical early set from the great man, with rich, brilliant backing from percussionists Trio Mocoto.
