A militant steppers — reminiscent of Johnny Clarke’s Blood Dunza — with magnificent trombone-playing by Vin Gordon. Shaka fire. Ace.
Pedigree UK steppers, featuring vocalist Nishka, remixed by the Disciples.
Aka Clive Hylton, alongside Russ D from The Disciples.
Shaka business, also much favoured by Aba Shanti.
Ace, lonesome digi from 1988, indebted to Tenor Saw, with Johnny Osbourne’s Can’t Buy Love submerged in its DNA. Crisp, driving dub.
Surely ‘Culture P’ would have been a better idea.
Total murder!
A stealth-weapon version of the classic tune — same sublime Gregory, plus fatter-than-your-mama trombone by Vin Gordon, and evilous Niney dub.
Dennis Brown and Dillinger incinerate the B-side, too… Jah Is Watching / Flat Foot Hustling.
Unmissable.
Tastily off-kilter mid-seventies roots excursion on Artibella.
Jux alongside Adrian Sherwood, in 2005.
Thunderous… with a magnificent burning-horns dub masterminded by London Is The Place alumnus Harry Beckett.
This is the original, way-superior version of the song redone for Island. The dub was a Shaka special.
Recorded by Dennis Harris in 1975 at Gooseberry Studios, in London’s Chinatown.
Ijahman remembers his unscripted performance ‘pouring out from inside’. Maybe the short spell he’d just spent at Her Majesty’s Pleasure has to do with it.
