Deadly, hip-hop-inflected, soundboy version of Skylarking. Nasty bass.
On a Jimmy London; with a Peter Tosh melodica version.
Perfectly irresistible, bumptious girl-pop from Judy Mowatt’s group.
The Tartans — Prince Lincoln, Cedric Myton, Devon Russell and Berg Lewis.
Sweet, uptempo rock steady from Henry Buckley, in 1968, with backing from The Gaylettes. A more rootsy, Biblical edge to the B-side, which was originally coupled with Roland Alphonso’s How Soon.
Crucial Gil Cang re-do of the eighties classic, with the man himself at the mic.
Heavy lovers, a Kush Dan I production.
Rock ‘n rolling Reid. With a Little John.
With a Nitty Gritty dubplate do-over of Trial And Crosses.
Good grief, it’s actually The Chi-Lites, on a John John update of Sleng Teng.
Rock Fort Rock and China Town excursions.
Stalag… and The Carpenters’ Top Of The World.
A teenaged Montgomery and friends from school, trying out Wild Bill Davis and stuff from the radio, with a JA twist.
Tremendous, transformative interpretation of the Bassies at Studio One — mournful, trenchant, rocking, heavy, dubwise… bad.
