Massive hit for Sugar Minott. Many versions exist including a slightly altered version which appeard as International Herb on Wackies. This version features some great 80s electronic drum and synth sounds courtesy of Sly and Robbie’s production and of course killer rhythm section grooves provided by them as well. The B side has some killer steel drum-ish clangs going on throughout. Weird, catchy, and all around great.

Late 70s Production featuring the Channel One house band, The Revolutionaries. Couldn’t find too much info about this one but it appears to be a Joe Gibbs production. The toasting was from a Trinity DJ version, not sure who did the original vocals that float in and out but they are nice. Rootsy Sly and Robbie workout with some nice organ licks. This single has 2 slightly different dubs so compare and contrast….Enjoy…

A late 70s rootswise anti-violence tune from Prince Alla. More dub heaviness from King Tubby on the flip side.

Augustus Pablo- Satta Dub

Mid 70s instrumental version of The Abyssinians anthem that must be one of the most versioned roots tunes out there. Great melodica playing (of course) and a killer King Tubby dub on the b side. Solid vibes…

Nhearn Anthony- World Power

Late 70s anti-apartheid anthem from a little known (I have no idea who he is) singer backed by the always powerfull Revolutionaries. The chorus has a nice spacious vocals and cavernous drum thing going on. The B side is of course a solid dub from the Revolutionaries/Channel One crew. Heavy drums, organ licks, etc…

(King Tubby) Tenemant Dub/Skylarking Dub

I think this one had Tenemant Dub written on both sides (or nothing written on Side A) but obviously Side A is a dub of Horace Andy’s Skylarking and Side B is Jacob Miller’s Tenement Yard. Both dubs (uncredited) but are by King Tubby. Mid 70s deep bass and drum grooves, nice guitar, and floating vocals from 2 of my favorite Jamaican vocalists…

slight change from previous format….i’ll post a file sharing URL to download mp3s and post one side a day to listen to above this post….hope you enjoy….
