Junior Murvin - Make It And Set It / Version
Taurus / Digikiller Records / Depper Knowledge Records US 1987
¥1180 (US$7.62)
Self-produced by Junior Murvin at King Tubby's in 1987, and released via Tubby's then-active Taurus imprint. Fans of digital reggae are well aware of the brilliant and unique digital riddims being cut at Tubby's in the late '80s by the likes of Asher, Peego, Fatman, Benbow, and others. But besides the immortal 'Tempo' riddim and its variations, there are monsters like 'Babylon', 'Inna De Ghetto', 'Grammy', and many more. And then there is this one, perhaps more singular and deadly than almost all of them, yet only lesser-known by virtue of its rarity. Junior Murvin's beautiful falsetto floats on top of a monstrous and mind-boggling one-away riddim that could only have come from Dromilly Avenue.

King Kong - Agony & Pain / Dub
Jah Life / Bond Export / Deeper Knowledge US 1987
¥1480 ¥1180 (US$7.62)
King Kong's "Agony & Pain" has long been one of our favorite Jah Life tunes, released only on JA 7" in 1987, well-heavy in a sound killing style.
Chopper Productions / Digikiller / Deeper Knowledge US
Billie Jean
¥1180 (US$7.62)
The late Alton Black was a part of the NY Chopper crew, and one of NY's most popular artists when he cut "Reunited" on Chopper's killer lick of 'billie jean' now well known via Don Hickey's "Cooperate." All fans of the 'lovers digi' micro-genre (ha!) take note, this one should be near the top of your lists.
Rythem Track / Digikiller / Deeper Knowledge US
¥1180 (US$7.62)
round this time Selassie was a young artist hanging with the Youth Promotion crew as well as Callo's Rythem Track crew. This rugged live-digital (played, not programmed) tune was cut at Music Mountain studios, and to us has a similar vibe as the great live-digital Leggo Sounds releases we put out a while back. "Variety" was until recently very obscure, being released only in NY, on a 12" on the Genesis Music label, operated by a former Bronx record shop.
Courtney Melody - Watching You
Chopper Productions / Digikiller / Deeper Knowledge US
¥1100 (US$7.11)
Courtney Melody jumped on it, a rare outing for the artist on a full live-band Channel 1-cut riddim! But "Watching You" shows how Mr. Melody can ride this kind of riddim just as well as ever.
Steve Knight - Orphan Child / Gifted Roots Band - Version
Tasha / Digikiller / Deeper Knowledge US 1986
Rise Again
¥1380 (US$8.92)
nother fantastic mid '80s rhythm from the Gifted Roots Band, this one infuses digital vibes with the live Channel 1 sound. Then the next cut on 'Raise Again' rhythm, Steve Knight's "Orphan Child", originally featured only on his rare LP of the same name, it's here on a single for the first time.
Steve Knight - Woman A Problem / Version
Tasha / Digikiller / Deeper Knowledge US 1986
Billie Jean
¥1180 (US$7.62)
teve Knight's "Woman a Problem" is a great tune voiced on the much-loved lick of the billie jean riddim cut at Channel 1 in the mid '80s, and traded amongst nuff producers at the time. This tune originally came on 7" via Sonic Sounds' Thunderbolt label, and again on Steve Knight's "Orphan Child" LP.

Junior Reid - Swinging My Love (Heavyweight Press) / Jammys Playing
King Jammys Dub / Dub Store Records JPN 1989
¥1280 (US$8.27)
"Swinging My Lover" reminds of another Jammys hit rhythm "Four Season Lover". Junior Reid samples Johnny Clarke's 'Rock With Me Baby' and he expresses his joy on this juggling rhythm. 'Jammys Playing' is an update version of one of his early day classics 'Human Nature' exclusively for King Jammys Super Power.
Thriller U - Raggamuffin Jammys / Earl Sixteen - A One Sound
Prince Jammys Dub / Dub Store Records JPN 1985
Promised Land /B: Trial & Crosses
¥1280 (US$8.27)
One of the most famous and popular dubplates from Jammy's vault. Thriller U, who recorded regularly at Jammys, sings on the Dennis Brown's 'Promise Land' rhythm for King Jammys Super Power. And Earl Sixteen performs 'A1 Sound' on 'Trial Crosses' rhythm.
