Things I've Beem Through / Bond Export / Deeper Knowledge US 1984
¥1180 (US$7.64)
"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.

Barry Brown - Stone Of The Arrival / Stone Dub
Snowbird / Digikiller Records / Depper Knowledge Records US 1983
¥1680 (US$10.88)
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.
Flick Wilson - Ready Fe Dem / Ready Fe Dub
Jah Life / Bond Export / Deeper Knowledge US 1984
¥1380 (US$8.94)
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.
Mikey General - Walker John; Dub / Singer With The Falvor; Dub
Dub Irator / Bond Export / Deeper Knowledge US 1984
/B: Stalag
¥2380 (US$15.42)
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.
Montgomery - Sensimela / Dub
Jah Life / Bond Export / Deeper Knowledge US
¥1180 (US$7.64)
Montgomery's "Sensimela" is great one-away digital, coming from a fertile period in Jah Life's history when he was producing many young and upcoming singers. This one only ever saw release on a now rare Life Time 12", now back out on 7", and showing again just how many killer one-off digital tunes are lurking out there.
Carlton Livingston - Itch It Up Operator / Western Kingston Dub
Dub Irator / Bond Export / Deeper Knowledge /
¥1180 (US$7.64)
arlton Livingston's "Itch It Up Operator" is a heavy sound man tune, never widely available on single. The B-side dub on this one is a wild previously unreleased dubplate mix!
Jug Head - Words Of Love; Version / Ossie D, Stevie G - Just Be Nice; Version
Dub Irator / Bond Export / Deeper Knowledge US 1984
¥1680 ¥1180 (US$7.64)
The next Dub Irator twelve is back to back heat, and two of the rarest tunes from the Jah Life catalog. Jug Head's tune is a 1984 roots heater, Ossie D & Stevie G's tune is late '80s one-away digital fire, and both sides with dubs!
Mankind - Some Girls Wicked & Wild
Man Kind / Digikiller / Deeper Knowledge US
¥1180 (US$7.64)
"Some Girls Wicked & Wild" is a duet with an unfortunately nameless female singer, definitely one of the best combi tunes we've heard, again using a great one-off digital riddim.

Bobby Melody - Original Melody / Black Roots Band - Original Melody Dub
Chopper Productions / Digikiller / Deeper Knowledge US 1983
¥1380 ¥1680 (US$10.88)
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$10.88)
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.

Joe Frazier
¥1580 ¥1099 (US$7.12)
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.
