Mike Anthony

Why War

Elements

Superb, fat, classic roots production by Michael Forbes, with full horn section, organ, expert percussion and drumming. Strong, heartfelt, resigned singing by Mike Anthony (not to be confused with the much more prolific Lovers singer from Lewisham).

Ovations

Too Much War

International Record Ltd.

Sublime vocal harmony roots. Pure Abyssinians manners.
George Wright and the boys cut one of our favourite Lovers a few years later… Secret Admirer.
Killer.

Give Me A Love

Black Art

Brother Dan

Eastern Organ

Common Ground

A knockout, proto-Pablo, rocksteady organ instrumental. Dandy Livingstone, surprisingly enough, riding east of the River Nile. Originally out on Trojan in 1968.

Paulette Pearce

Live And Learn

Small Axe / Common Ground

Conscious lovers — Paulette’s own upful, considered advice, delivered with fresh, youthful persuasiveness, and deadly horns. Another killer one-away.

Lascelles Denton

Prince Pharoah

Gingles / Common Ground

Ace mid-seventies roots and dub. Doomily austere and on-point, with both piano and organ, crisp high-hats, and and wickedly effective backing vocals.
An unmissable one-away, produced and arranged by Denton as the solitary release on his own label.
