One-sided acetate.
Classic Dutch techno. The debut of Natasja Hagemeier and Jeroen Brandjes, in 1993. ‘Dream Techno.’
A top-notch selection of High Note and Gay Feet rhythms, expertly mixed the old-fashioned way by Duke Reid’s nephew, Errol Brown.
Brilliant toasting and singing by the likes of Prince Hammer, Echo Minott, Trinity and Lee Van Cliff, over gold-plated Roots Radics rhythms. A precious blend of heavier-than-lead roots, new-thing dancehall flow, and youthman promotion, curated by Hammer himself in 1982. Deeply enjoyable from start to finish.
Classy, proto-lovers, full-scale do-over of the Robert John 45 still big in Northern Soul circles.
The original arranger, none other than Gene Page gets a run for his money in the typically sophisticated instrumental version by Geoffrey Chung and the In Crowd.
Gripping, up-in-your-face account of the story of Judas. Full-on Keith Hudson roots.
And an unmissable nugget of flute-led JA funk, by the Soul Syndicate, on the flip.
Agony aunts Clifford Morrison and Dada Smith from The Bassies, with George Blake replacing Leroy Fischer, in 1969. Cornerstone moonstompers, both sides.
Roland Al tearing up Louis Jordan in 1962; plus a tasty, doowop-derived ska shuffle.
Both sides previously unreleased.
