Super-rare, gorgeous, killer Candi from 1969.
Anti-war deadliness — stripped, direct, heartfelt, with a murderous dub, mixed by Phillip Smart at King Tubbys.
1983 runnings, kicking off with the killer seven-minute version of Chicago.
Five classic albums: A Tear To A Smile, Mystic Voyage, Everybody Loves The Sunshine, Vibrations, Lifeline.
(Plus the extended, 12” version of Running Away.)
