Trilbies off to the herb superb — with a rocking backbeat, from 1966.
Nice bass on the flip, too — strong, minor-key storybook-soul.

Family Man and Jimmy Riley had worked together in the late sixties — a Hippy Boy and a Unique — way before this terrific collaboration in tough, anguished sufferers, woozy with the natural mystic, around the same time as Cobra Style. Signature Wailers music-making seals the deal, with classy, burning horns.

Two pieces of sweet lovers rock, with backing by The Wailers.

A sublime, freely creative, dubwise instrumental and its version, from the same hallowed, far-out neck of the woods as the deepest Upsetters and Wackies.

Giddily killer, unutterably majestic horns-led instrumental by the legendary bassist, alongside his co-Wailers.
Tubbys murder on the flip.
Brilliantly reissued by Dub Store, in Tokyo.

Deeper-than-Spinoza, heavier-than-lead nyabinghi cut of Yabby You’s awesome Love Thy Neighbours (itself produced by Family Man, in 1974). You can’t touch Tubby’s dub on the original Defenders 7”... but both versions here are uncompromisingly dread, and essential in their own right.

Mesmeric, spare, funky, forward-looking dubs led by the Soul Syndicate drummer.
