The bees knees in soulful rocksteady. The elegant, poised singer rides killer Studio One rhythms by Jackie Mittoo and co, featuring magisterial soloing and beautiful backing vocals. Unmissable classics like How Can I Love Someone and Don’t Know. It’s a must.
Inimitably mixed by King Tubby; The Aggrovators on top form, likewise; rocking horns.
With an excellent Temps, and three lovely Chicago Soul covers. Nobody does reggae-soul better than Delroy.
Aka Sings For I & I.
Coupled with Ken Boothe’s Boothe Unlimited LP, another Lloyd Charmers production.
God’s own ska. Cornerstone of the Far East in reggae. (No Augustus Pablo without it.) We put a dubplate mix on Studio One Scorcher; first ever time out for the second take here.
Heavy, slowed-down Green Island excursion, revisited as a duet with the mighty Lennie Hibbert. Originally a Down Beat dubplate special.
Previously-unreleased takes of this ball of fire hurtling East with no survivors (from the second Ska Authentic). Pitiless, wondrous companion-piece to Last Call, from the same session.
