Unmissable, mid-seventies, undercover Viceroys, plus three deadly versions.
A swingeing Niney-style rhythm; superb, swirling dub. King Tubby’s way with the vocal is unforgettable.
It’s a must.

Stalag alert! With Ansel Collins, a killer Big Youth, and King Tubby.

Ace.
Chugging, confessional, Chicagoan loveliness from Delroy Williams, Ricky Grant and George Allison.
‘I have seen the moment of my greatness flicker, And I have seen the eternal Footman hold my coat, and snicker, And in short, I was afraid.’

The Shades had freshly peeled away from The Techniques, because besides singing Winston Riley wanted to try producing, and Bruce Ruffin needed room… and this is a gem of a calling card.
Sweetly hopeful, rocking rocksteady — with an undertow of foreboding — which Junior Delgado revisited for Dennis Brown, ten years later.
There’s a killer Marry Me dub on Meditation Dub, judiciously beginning ‘Boss, boss, boss, boss, boss, boss, boss, boss, boss, boss…’

Bumping, soulful ska. Plus Tommy McCook’s brilliant Goldfinger, on the flip.

Irresistible mix of sublime, Impressions-style harmony singing, punchy horns supervised by Tommy McCook, soulful existentialism and rocking steady rhythm; beautifully presented by Far East Records.
