‘Early contender for 2009’s album of the year. Yes, already’ (Mojo). ‘The sheer soul in her voice is revolutionary’ (NME).**** The Independent, The Times. ‘**** a masterclass in gritty southern soul’ (Daily Mail).

The key recordings of the greatest Southern Soul singer there ever was, with pristine sound, including twelve previously unissued tracks — completely superseding HJ’s own gallant stop-gap.

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.)

Scorching live recordings from a knockabout Bamako club in 1995, with Lobi putting his new flanger through its paces. Easing in with the soulful, hypnotic Ni Tugula; Sigui is down to business.
