Solid early-eighties Channel One, tooled to rock a dance, and till now played exclusively on dubplate by Jahlovemuzik.
Previously a super-scarce JA blank. Hail the almighty Don D’s scorching solo — flashing a split-second premonition of Rico on Message To You, Rudy.
Two terrific, previously unreleased excursions on the Amos Milburn.
The trombone holds it down like Giant Haystacks, but that’s a tenor saxophone solo.
Lovely stuff.
The alluring, mystery female vocalist here is cool and deadly amidst the mayhem, beside a tasty harmonica lead. Nice bebop saxophone, too, on the flip.
Unmissable Maytals, in previously unreleased recordings from 1965.
Toots and co have this Coppa bang to rights — ‘Stop treating the people unkind’ — even before Don D boots him down the street and the hell out of Dodge.
The godfather, with a Tommy McCook. Two classy body-rockers.
Ace, rampaging digi.
Triumphantly reviving all-time-classic Jammy’s. Proper dub, too.
Poignantly-reflective next version of Horace’s Jah Is The One rhythm (from the Pure Ranking set), with MR’s unmistakable moves, and dub.
First time out for this recent do-over of Yabby You’s mighty King Pharaoh’s Plague — with dub.
The classic digital destroyer, recorded at Aquarius in 1987.
Cyaan be no loefah.
Nice, mid-tempo tune, Eek A Mouse style and fashion.
Rough! Same rhythm as Frankie Paul’s Leave It To Me. Moody, inimitable, brilliant Jammys, with inspirational singing by the great CC.
Tough, thumping Jammys from 1989, with expert falsetto singing from CT.
Wholesome digi-roots bumper from 1990; rinsed by Shaka in the day.
Tough Beres Simpson revive. With the Roots Radics, maybe.
Tuff Scout rises to the occasion with a majestic rhythm, echoing and musically boned, sat well back in the saddle like Brother Roy’s Different Experience; whilst the great man does an entertaining variation of Memphis Tennessee. Ace dub.
Long Distance Information? May I speak to the High Priest?
