Flick Wilson - Ready Fe Dem / Ready Fe Dub
Jah Life / Bond Export / Deeper Knowledge US 1984
¥1380 (US$9.11)
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$15.72)
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$7.79)
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$7.79)
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$7.79)
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$7.79)
"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.
