Says AOTN — ‘The rarest and best genuinely outsider soul 45 to come out of America. (We know that’s a controversial shout.) Lee Tracy’s super rare single outing from the outskirts of Nashville is a dream of something bigger that never came in time for him. A beautiful, haunting song cut to cassette with help from his friend Isaac Manning on Casio. Flipped with an almost unrecognizable version of Whitney Houston’s hit Saving All My Love For You. Beyond essential cut of outsider soul.’

Sylford has gifted us some stone classics: Deuteronomy and Lambs Bread, with Glen Brown; Burn Babylon and Jah Golden Pen, with Joe Gibbs. And here’s another humdinger, this time with Clive Hunt.
Heavy, aching, bass-bin murder. It’s a must.

Absolute murder.
A searing, haunting song about abuse, bitter disappointment, and heartbreak, set to a tough, chunky Jimmy Radway rhythm, with edgy organ and dread trombone.
Hortense Ellis is rawly, indelibly authentic: this is her best record by miles.
Plus some stone-classic Big Youth on the flip, ecstatically riding a lethal dub of the same megaton Fe Me Time rhythm.
Killer.

Upful, true-born-scuffler sing-jaying over a crisp, late-eighties Mansfield McClean rhythm.
Life is for living, but watch your step; ‘dollars weak but life is sweet’.
