Two previously unreleased sides by this compelling singer: Get Up Natty was cut at Channel One in the mid-eighties, with backing by the Gifted Roots Band, featuring some sick synths and effects; No Peace is new, with Icho still in fine voice, debuting a rhythm by Danny Bassie from the Firehouse Crew, and Channel One legend Barnabas.

Solid early-eighties Channel One, tooled to rock a dance, and till now played exclusively on dubplate by Jahlovemuzik.

Sexy and ardent, this is great fun.

Terrific southern soul from the guy who wrote a string of killers as staff at Goldwax, and for Candi Staton and Clarence Carter, at Fame. The Only Way Is Up is his song; and The Osmonds’ One Bad Apple.

Congo Call, such a killer. With Sonny Simmons.

Classic sixties soul and dance from Detroit. The Cool Jerk still does the business. Half arranged by Dale Warren, from 24-Carat Black, soul fans; half by Riley Hampton, who did prime Impressions and Curtis.

‘From the Czech Supraphon archives, this 1966–1970 selection focuses on her roughest songs, with plenty of fuzz guitars and funky beats, punchy horns and razor-sharp organs underlying her deep and soulful voice.’

Lovely traditional Cuban music — bolero, guaracha, merengue, cha cha cha — recorded last year in Havana.

The 1971 recording, in the run-up to the Far East Family Band: two long, spaced-out excursions, genuine Eastern psych (if a little Pink Floyd), sparsely beautiful, with electric sitars and various percussion.

It says ‘Volume 1’ on the cover, and this debut is full of promise, but it’s a one-off, from Nigeria, 1973: African styles grooving together with Latin and Caribbean, US soul and funk, and psych rock.

Four members of Sonny Okosun’s band, edging things on in 1974: deep, spacey afro-funk.

Drawn from the hundreds of reel-to-reels and cassettes that Jones — aka The Hurricane, The Fireball — has made of his Southern preaching, raving between speech and song, since 1960. From Dust To Digital.
