Brilliant, heavyweight, daft-as-a-brush Niney. Genius.
Anti-war deadliness — stripped, direct, heartfelt, with a murderous dub, mixed by Phillip Smart at King Tubbys.
Jennifer Hylton’s early-nineties r’n'b-tipped torpedo, recorded by Lloyd Pickout Dennis at Dynamic, with the Firehouse Crew.
Surely this is a Lloyd Campbell production of The Revolutionaries, not a Niney.
Either way it’s total murder, with a dub originally entitled The Rise And Fall Of The South African Regime.
Next cut to The Heptones’ almighty We Want It.
Stone cold murder. Archetypal, slow-mo, eastern-sounds post-ska from Jackie Mittoo, Dizzy Moore, Roland Alphonso and co, around 1965.
Lloyd Forest, Tommy Thomas and Samuel Bramwell at Joe Gibbs.
