Upright Foundation - Wolf In Sheep Clothing / Where Wolf Version
Wisdom / Digikiller US / Depper Knowledge US 1976
¥1180 (US$7.65)
"Wolf in Sheep Clothing" by the Upright Foundation. This was a short-lived group featuring two-thirds of the Gaylads, and this phenomenal piece of Burning Spear-esque roots was produced by Clive for his Wisdom Sounds label in the mid '70s. Reissued for the first time here, this tune is totally infectious and should go straight into the '70s roots harmony classics canon.

I Roy - Sky Juice & Festival Dumpling / Dub
Channel One / Digikiller / Deeper Knowledge US
¥1180 (US$7.65)
All Channel diehards should know this tune, as it's the deejay cut to our man Enforcer's all time classic roots tune, "Pay Them" and is of course, well heavy. This one is backed with a previously unreleased dub of the rhythm, different again from the "Pay Them" single dub side.

Johnny Scar - United Africa / Dub It In Africa
Solomonic / Dub Store Records JPN 1986
¥2680 (US$17.37)
Bunny Wailer, respectfully called “The Blackheart Man”, produced Johnny Scar’s one-off recording ‘United Africa’. The mystic singer wrote this heavy roots song and sang with his unique chant like a voice of the roots reggae icon, Burning Spear. And the song appeared as 12”on the Solomonic Production imprint in 1986.

¥2180 (US$14.13)
"Dreadlocks I" was done at the Black Ark, and this 10-inch reissue includes the vocal & dub from the original 45, plus a second, wild Lee Perry mixed dub of an aborted do-over of the tune (for which the vocal version is sadly lost).
Keithus I - Living In Ilusion / Ilusions Dub
Jah Dynasty / Digikiller / Deeper Knowledge US 197-
¥1100 (US$7.13)
Milton "Keithus I" Samuels is simply put, one of the best yet least-known artists of the 1970s. In the latter half of the decade he self-produced six singles for his own JAH DYNASTY label.
Keithus I, Voices Of The Trinity - Save The Children / Dub
Jah Dynasty / Digikiller / Deeper Knowledge US 197-
¥1180 ¥1980 (US$12.83)
"Save the Children" is prime '70s roots, killer horns, militant riddim, wailing vocals.
Kiddus I - Fire Burn / Fire Burn Version
Shepherd / Dub Store Records JPN 1979
¥1980 (US$12.83)
12"single from the previously released album 'Rockers: Graduation In Zion 1978-1979 (DSR-LP-001)'. Kiddus I originally recorded 'Fire Burn' in 1973 but the master tape went missing. The song was re-recorded at Tuff Gong in 1978 for his debut album 'Jah Power, Jah Glory' but it remained unreleased. Surprisingly, the track has the same bassline to Bunny Wailer's 'Amagideon' and it is said Bunny adopted it from the 'Fire Burn', which were originally recorded in 1973. The most dreadful song amongst his unreleased material and 9 minutes of jazzy performance is just a miracle. The B-side contains a version to the A-side.
Kiddus I - Give I Strength / Give I Strength Version
Shepherd / Dub Store Records JPN 1979
¥1980 (US$12.83)
This 12 minute version of 'Give I Strength' is different from the one previously appeared on the album ‘Rockers: Graduation In Zion 1978-1979 (DSR-LP-001)’. Kiddus I recorded the song for his debut album 'Jah Power, Jah Glory' but it remained unreleased. The most of recordings he did at this time was very long and Kiddus I recalls this was possible because he used to 'treat' those musicians in a hospitable manner. This allowed musicians to be very improvisational in their playing on songs written by Kiddus I. The B-side version has an instrumental to the A-side.
Little John - False News / Dub
Channel One / Digikiller / Deeper Knowledge US 198-
Fight Fight
¥1680 (US$10.89)
ittle John's "False News" is the rarest released cut on Channel's killer "fight fight" riddim, this time employing some great synth work. Those paying close attention will notice that this riddim is so good, it was licked over by the Choppper crew for our previously released Lionel Barrett and Bobby Melody tunes on that label.
