5 Gate Temple

Featuring James Massiah from Babyfather.
The flip is pure terror, with John T. Gast in the mix; heavier than lead, dreader than dread.

Roman Stewart & The Heptones

Rain A Fall

Park Heights / Digikiller

Sublime, masterful singing — poetic, polyphonic, evocative sufferers — over a stately and atmospheric Java excursion, more sombre than mystical. Super-soulful. Ace.

Tyrone Evans

Freedom Song

Park Heights / Digikiller

First time out for this Paragon’s feeling excursion on the same Java re-lick as Roman Stewart’s Rain A Fall.

Barrington Levy

Black Roses

JL International / Digikiller

Another all-time eighties classic.
A lovely song, over a do-over of Dennis’ Revolution rhythm, with Sly & Robbie in the mix.

Bobby Aitken & The Carib Beats

One Way Street

BA / Digikiller

Rocksteady murder, both sides.
Val Bennett wails over a brilliantly percussive, troubled, fresh rhythm, with descending, prowling bass; Roy Man leads the heart-broken flip, with piano riding east, and rocking horns.
From the master tapes. It’s a must.

Leroy Willacy

Far Beyond The Blue

Negusa Nagast

Both sides are knockout.
The Willacy is terrific roots, rough and mystical, compacted and bristling, with fine trumpet.
On the flip is Big Youth’s toast of Gregory’s Look Before You Leap.

Hugh Mundell

Feeling Alright

Rockers / Only Roots

Unnatural Funk Band

Strange Happenings

Numero

A brilliant, tough, mid-70s funk work-out; and some nostalgia, with wistful falsetto and low-riding narration.
The UFB was formerly known as Bump And The Soul Stompers, led by Jerald ‘Bump’ Scott, from Kansas City.
