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$10.71)
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.

Upcoming NY artist of the day, Sammy Levi with "Automatic", a warning about the perils of carrying a gun.
Flick Wilson - Jah Know / Dub
Jah Life US 198-
¥1380 (US$8.80)
More previously unreleased heat from the Jah Life camp. These four awesome cuts on the same rhythm are again from mid '80s sessions at Channel 1 studio with the Gifted Roots Band. Great vocal cuts from under-recorded artists all around - Flick Wilson, Patrick Cool, Nathan Skyers and Lee Van Cliff (singing in a Tenor Saw-ish style!) Fantastic hard as nails stuff that should hit the spot for fans of the mid '80s sound.
Flick Wilson - Ready Fe Dem / Ready Fe Dub
Jah Life / Bond Export / Deeper Knowledge US 1984
¥1380 (US$8.80)
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.
