Half Pint - One Big Ghetto / Tonto Irie - Ram Up Every Corner
Jammys / Dub Store Records JPN 1984
¥1280 (US$11.90)
Without mentioning Half Pint, the true story about the Jammys label can never be told. King Jammy adopted a classic song ‘Open The Gate’ and versioned the rhythm digitally. The young Half Pint claims this wild world is ‘One Big Ghetto’. On the flip side, Tonto Irie showcases his skillful and edgy lyrical flow to the same rhythm.

The Skie Warrington 12' was only released in NY, and is presented as it was originally issued. The Scion Success 12' was issued in NY and the UK, originally released with a tune on a different rhythm on the other side. Here instead we present the fantastic and dark previously unreleased vocal from Madoo, to complete the version excursion.
Scion Success - Settle Them A Settle; Version / Madoo - Lose Respect; Version
14 Karat / Digikiller / Deeper Knowledge US 1984
¥1580 ¥1099 (US$10.22)
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.
Traditions - When (Coloured Vinyl) / Train Is Coming
Channel One / Digikiller / Deeper Knowledge US
¥1980 (US$18.41)
Two killer unreleased tunes from the early '80s. The Traditions were a group with seemingly no other released tunes. We suspect one of the members was Roy "Soft" Palmer, the late Greenwich Farm singer. Roy, with only a handful of solo cuts to his name, was seemingly more often a harmony singer than a lead singer, as he was part of both "The Spears" who backed Junior Ross, and "The Nazarines" who backed Frankie Jones (real name Anthony Palmer), who was also Roy's brother. In any case, "When" is at last a next cut to the rhythm used for Barrington Levy's "The Winner", a Channel 1 classic which long time Channel diehards have always wished had more cuts. "Get Ready" aka "Train is Coming" is yet another cut on the immortal "Fight Fight" rhythm which we just can't get enough of, hard Channel style. Both sides with dubs.
