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.’

Shades of Brown. Leroy B sounds like Dennis B, over Glen B’s immortal Wicked Can’t Run Away rhythm. Typically expert digi do-over by KJ, with an ace dub.
Creativeness pon the dance.

Nice, mid-tempo tune, Eek A Mouse style and fashion.

Startling digi do-over of Yabby You’s great Jesus Dread rhythm, with a driving, tumping dub and sermonizing keys. Mis-credited to Phillip Fraser on the label.

Horatian worries on the wicked E20 rhythm.

Top-notch digi sufferers from 1987. Plenty of Dennis in Leroy’s singing.

‘Yes we nice, yes we nice… Hold them, music, hold them, yes, we control them… no we nah go let them stray.’ Dancehall manners — on the rhythm Delgado used for Rasta People — as clinically murderous as all-time EJ hits for Jammys like Rock Them One By One and Turn Up The Heat.

A hollowed-out, minor-chord rhythm… SB bubbling moodily about ‘if you’re having a problem and you don’t know to solve them, down the road there is a party’... a stripped, brilliant dub.
Classic Jammys from 1987.

Tough Jammys do-over of Cuss Cuss, with dangerous bass and banging dub, and Junior in no mood for messing. ‘Galong before we chop off your hand.’
