Bob Marley - Africa Unite (Will. I. Am Remix) (Picture Sleeve) / I Shot The Sheriff
Island UK 1976
¥1080 (US$6.97)
Clive Matthews - Big Brown Eyes / Dub
Fox Fire / Digikiller / Deeper Knowledge US 1979
¥1180 (US$7.61)
'Big Brown Eyes' is a great one from the late '70s with tough horns, in fact the crew liked this tune so much that they re-cut it in the early '80s in a more rub-a-dub style!
Dave Robinson - If You Give To Me (Ruby & Diamond) / Give Me Dub
Dub Irator / Bond Export / Deeper Knowledge US 1981
¥1100 (US$7.10)
These heavy early '80s tunes were produced via the fruitful partnership of Jah Life and Junjo Lawes, and have all been unavailable since their original release. All three were released as mini-discomixes on Jah Life's "Family Album" compilation LP, as well as on UK 12-inch singles and one JA 7-inch single. Again the unbeatable combination of the Roots Radics at Channel 1 studio, and the hard mixing of Scientist at King Tubby's studio and great vocals put these near the top of the heap for early '80s roots reggae. We are also pleased to point out that the dub mix on the B-side of "Alligator Tears" is a previously unreleased dubplate mix!
Hopeton Junior - Whip Down The Wicked Man / Stepping Stone - Wicked Version
Hot Stuff UK 1976
¥1380 ¥1280 (US$8.26)
I Roy - Fire In A Wire / Dub
Royco Inc / Digikiller / Deeper Knowledge US 1979
¥1180 (US$7.61)
Throughout the 1970's, I-Roy recorded for tons of producers, and eventually began bartering with many of them for cuts of rhythms to voice himself on, as his own productions. Through his popularity in the UK, I-Roy got a deal with Virgin Records to release many of these new self-productions. Tucked away on these albums is this pair of wicked tunes, prime for release on single. 'Fire in a Wire', originally released on I-Roy's 'The General' vocal & dub double-album, and as a 12-inch single. Here we have the album cuts, vocal and its dub, entitled 'Warlord of Zenda' (presumably named after the novel/film 'The Prisoner of Zenda'). These tunes are re-presented on the Royco Inc. label, I-Roy's own original label used in the early 1970's.
