One tough rhythm, five vocal cuts (one previously unreleased!) and two different dub versions, spread across two twelve-inches. Produced at Channel 1 in the mid '80s, then voiced in New York, this Mikey Jarrett production is one of our favorite heavy rhythms of its era.

Dub Irator / Bond Export / Deeper Knowledge US 1984
B: Stalag
¥2380 (US$15.05)
Mikey General's 12" is a killer double sider, both with dubs. Awesome heavy mid 80's style. "Walker John" has a sound not unlike the great mid-80s material on the Tasha label, while "Singer With the Flavor" is a soundboy tune, complete with rewind, on a heavy take of the much-loved stalag rhythm.
Freddie McGregor - Rootsman Skanking
Thompson Sound 1982
You Can Do Anything - Little John
¥1980 (US$12.52)
Bobby Melody - Original Melody / Black Roots Band - Original Melody Dub
Chopper Productions / Digikiller / Deeper Knowledge US 1983
¥1380 ¥1680 (US$10.63)
From the mid 1980's straight thru until the early 90's, Choppers were steady releasing tunes both in Jamaica and NYC, and from young upcoming artists and veterans alike. 'Original Melody' is from Bobby Melody, letting you know none a them a ruff like the original! We were saddened by Bobby's recent passing, but let this tune serve as a reminder of what a great singer he was. This tune is backed with its own unique and wicked dub, a different mix to the dub side of 'Rasta Cowboy', which uses the same rhythm.
