The reissue of Steve Barrow’s brilliant, powerhouse selection for Blood And Fire.

Tough Niney rhythms — for the likes of Dennis Brown and The Heptones — laid down by Soul Syndicate, Philip Smart and Errol T, mixed by King Tubby.
(Castro Brown added a couple of Cimarrons dubs, courtesy of Syd Bucknor in Chalk Farm, when he let off a couple of hundred whites in 1977: the last two tracks here.)
Santa Davis on drums — those flying hi-hats copped off Earl Young in Philadelphia — and Tubbys at the controls…
Pure fire.

Brilliant, heavyweight, daft-as-a-brush Niney. Genius.

Tough dub counterpart to The Heptones’ Better Days set.

A staggering haul. One Train Load of murder.
Fire bunn!

The Ethiopians’ Slave Call LP and two Freddie McGregors — Mr McGregor and Showcase aka Lover’s Rock Jamaica Style — plus a dazzling haul of singles from 1978, revealing Niney at the peak of his genius, and easily worth the dough by themselves.

Niney and Tubby’s dubs from 45s, 1976-1978. Total murder. Heavyweight genius.

The Buster selection we’d been waiting for.
A terrific haul of rare and unreleased sides; rocksteady gold, from start to finish.
Macka Osaka connoisseurship.
