The dub is tough, funky drum-and-bass business, with stiff shots of guitar and brass.

Excellent rock steady from 1966, with nothing much to do with the Lion of Judah; and a lush, tropical Tommy McCook, with nothing much to do with James Bond.

Very early Glads, from 1967, seemingly pre-Albert Griffiths — and a killer Tommy McCook instrumental. Both previously unreleased Duke Reid productions, when Trojan was properly trojan; by way of Japan.

Choice sides from the recent LP reissue.

Utterly genius mid-seventies Upsetters. The great Horse Mouth aka Mad Roy playing melodica (like on his classic Far Beyond for Studio One, where he started out printing labels) and drums (like on War Ina Babylon), and spliffically hymning his local dealer.
With Delroy Butler/Denton from The Silvertones, on the flip.

Excellent mid-seventies roots by this singer from Jack Ruby’s Hi Fi.

Heartically hymning male companionship over the same tough digi rhythm as Nathan Skyers’ Tribute To The Heroes… plus the dub. Previously unreleased.

Ace Brazilian funk from 1977, with a flagrant dose of the Herbies.

Superb rock steady, from the dark end of the street. Recorded for Sonia Pottinger, on the eve of Delano Stewart’s leaving the group to join Lee Perry. So nice The Heptones did it twice.
