Flick Wilson - Ready Fe Dem / Ready Fe Dub
Jah Life / Bond Export / Deeper Knowledge US 1984
¥1380 (US$8.90)
A massive unreleased tune from Flick Wilson, cut at Channel 1 around 1984. The backing band sounds a lot like the Gifted Roots Band who were resident at Channel 1 around this time. We are big fans of Flick and feel he was really under-recorded, so unearthing this gem was a pleasure, killer vocal and a rock-hard riddim.
Michael Palmer - Different Strokes / Gifted Roots Band - Strokes Dub
Tasha / Digikiller / Deeper Knowledge US 1984
¥1480 ¥1180 (US$7.61)
Michael Palmer's "Different Strokes" originally appeared on Tasha 7" in JA, as well on an obscure compilation LP in NYC.
Steve Knight - Love Me Entertainment / Gifted Roots Band - Strokes Dub
Tasha / Digikiller / Deeper Knowledge US 1984
¥1180 (US$7.61)
Steve Knight's "Love Me Entertainment" originally appeared only on his very rare "Orphan Child" LP, again issued only in NYC.
Tenor Saw - Who's Gonna Help Me Praise (Jah Guide And Protect Me)
Tenor Saw UK 1984
¥1880 (US$12.13)
Flick Wilson - Last Night / Version
Things I've Beem Through / Bond Export / Deeper Knowledge US 1984
¥1180 (US$7.61)
"Rain from the Sky" by Wayne Smith, and "Ain't No Me" by Patrick Andy. Killer synths on top of a rock solid riddim, again by the Gifted Roots Band. All together, four vocals, three dubs, two riddims, all killer.
Bobby Melody - Original Melody / Black Roots Band - Original Melody Dub
Chopper Productions / Digikiller / Deeper Knowledge US 1983
¥1380 ¥1680 (US$10.84)
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.
Lionel Ganja Barrett - Rasta Cowboy / Black Roots Band - Rasta Cowboy Dub
Chopper Productions / Digikiller / Deeper Knowledge US 1983
¥1680 (US$10.84)
From the mid '80s, a cut on Choppers' own wicked lick of Channel One's "fight fight" riddim. Chopper's lick was laid and mixed at Channel 1 with the Black Roots Band aka Gifted Roots Band. The tune is from Lionel 'Ganja' Barrett, himself a member of the Chopper crew, and one of the first artists released on the label. 'Rasta Cowboy' is his signature tune, an ode to a self-reliant cowboy-like life.
Michael Prophet - Hold On To What You Got / Roots Radics - Cry Of The Werewolf
Jah Guidance / VP US 1983
¥1980 (US$12.78)
Frankie Wilmott - Why Won't You Come / Why Won't You Come Dub
Prince Jammys Dub / Dub Store Records JPN 1983
¥1480 (US$9.55)
Previously unreleased material from Frankie Wilmott recorded straight from the master tape. Known for his 80’s classics such as “Sensimilla” and “Money Gone Down The Drain”, Frankie has been passionately supported from Dancehall fans across the globe. “Why Won’t You Come” features a tight rhythm based around the warm bassline and Frankie’s sensitive vocal excellently resonate throughout the track.
Barry Brown - Stone Of The Arrival / Stone Dub
Snowbird / Digikiller Records / Depper Knowledge Records US 1983
¥1680 (US$10.84)
One of the hardest and best Barry Brown tunes. From the early '80s, and self-produced, released, and distributed by the late Barry Brown and his wife Lisa, on their own Snowbird label. Only ever issued in tiny quantity on 45 in JA, until now of course very hard to find.
