A knockout, proto-Pablo, rocksteady organ instrumental. Dandy Livingstone, surprisingly enough, riding east of the River Nile. Originally out on Trojan in 1968.
‘Glen Brown Meets King Tubby.’
Authentic, raw, unheard dubs of almighty murder like Merry Up, Forward The Good, Long Live Zion, Never Too Young To Learn, and the timely We All Have The Right To Live.
Brutally magnificent music. Crucial bunny.
Top-notch digi sufferers from 1987. Plenty of Dennis in Leroy’s singing.
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.
Crucial Tubbys dubplate pressure.
Super-heavyweight Aggrovators roots. Barry Brown at his very best; deadly, sombre horns; lethal Tubbys dub. Scorcher.
Super-charged soundsystem vibes ā massive, dazedly sublime ā from the 1983 LP Iām Still Waiting, produced by Patrick Edwards, and issued by Sugar’s Rocktone International, out of Queens, New York.
Plus a startling saxophone dubplate cut, featuring Dean Fraser.
The African Brothers in full effect. Barry Brown does anthemic justice to this killer song, written by Tony Tuff; produced by Sugar Minott. The reasoning is bang on the money, over a lovely rhythm. The deadly dub is by Scientist, at Tubby’s. It’s a must.
‘What about the half that’s never been told? The half, the half, the half that’s never been told.’
Evergreen Dennis, with a brilliant Tommy McCook.
Dennis in full flight, over genius Niney rhythms, tuff like iron. Two all-time reggae greats at the height of their powers, plus Soul Syndicate and King Tubby pon spot. Classics like Tribulation, If You Are Rich Help The Poor, and Travelling Man. Always very hard to find.
