 Linvale Thompson - Natty Dread - Burning Sounds 12″ Kicking off with the bass heavy Natty Dread the B side to “Rocking Vibration. Linval’s classics include “I Love to Smoke Marijuana” and “Don’t Cut Off Your Dreadlocks” but this one always hits the spot. Wicked play out tune.

Michael Cambell - Barber Saloon - Power Disc 7″ Killer tune. One of my absolute favourites. Bad ass tune. “He cut off his dreads then he turned bold head” Classic….. Also known as Mikey Dread and the Dread at the Controls. Love the way he does a little laugh every once and a while during the track.

Twinkle Brothers - Jahova featuring Sir Lee - Twinkle 12″ Jahova is a pure reggae anthem. This is a great take on the tune with Sir Lee toasting along side the tune. Sir Lee also featured on the great “Free Africa” tune from the Twinkle Bro’s. Another fav of mine is the massive “Faith can move mountains”

Al Capone - Rock Them Capone - Jackpot 7″ Boss tune from Dennis Alcapone. Was a friend with Dillinger who went under the name of Young Capone at the time before he changed it to the now Dillinger. Wicked label Jackpot, loads of great sounds came out from that camp.

Sister Nancy - Papa Dean - Techniques 7″ Wicked dj style from Sister Nancy on producer Winston Riley Techniques label. Mad tune from 1980. “Papa Dean wanna give me sardine Papa Dean wanna give me Butter Bean”

Dillinger - Stumbling Block - Black and White 7″ Dillinger always brings the goods. Another fav of mine along with the classic “Melting pot”. His Lp Top Ranking Dillinger on the Third World label produced by Bunny Lee is highly recommended.

Jah Thomas - Positive Vibration - Strong Like Sampson 12″ Taken the second part from Dave Robinson’s “Positive Vibration” on Linval’s Thompson Strong Like Sampson label. Jah Thomas had his own label “Midnight Rock” which he did the wicked mellow tune “Sweet Memories” with the Roots Radics.

Ranking Trevor - Give Thanks and Praise unto Jah - Greensleeves 12″ Big tune. Loved playing this out. I need to check his Cha Cha lp which he co did with Trinity with the fantastic title ” Three Pieces Chicken and Chips”. Sound like it should be a classic.

Jah Woosh - Keep us down in Poverty - Groove Music 12″ Amazing dj voice. Jah Woosh has always been one of my top toasters. Used to cain “Crooked Skank” from the 1974 Cactus label self titled lp. Also love his “Marijuana world tour” LP.

U Brown - Ape Man Skank - Jamaica Sounds lp A cool cut from Mr U Brown taken from the DJ Spots compilation album. Great lp featuring Dillinger, Jah Stitch and Trinity.

Trinity - John saw them coming - Belmont Records 7″ Produced by legend Joe Gibbs. This dread tune can also be found on his “Three Piece Suit” album from 1977. Wicked dub on the flip side called “Roots Kunta Kintye” by Joe Gibbs and the Professionals.

Lee Van Cliff - Different Fashion - Dance Hall Records 7″ Finishing off with some classic rhythm - BIM. Also can be found on the 1982 Germain Revolutionary Sounds label record “Reggae Sunsplash” BIM.
