Upright Foundation - Wolf In Sheep Clothing / Where Wolf Version
Wisdom / Digikiller US / Depper Knowledge US 1976
¥1180 (US$7.46)
"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.
Carlton Livingston - Tale Of Two Cities / Revolutionaries - Dub
Channel One / Digikiller / Deeper Knowledge US 1977
N/A
Carlton Livingston's 'Tale of Two Cities', not only his first released tune, but one of his best. A tough riddim by the Revolutionaries, with wicked horns.
Tony Tuff - Separation; Dub / Tony Tuff; Revolutionaries - Come Along; Proverves
Channel One / Digikiller / Deeper Knowledge US
N/A
The Channel 1 Lost & Found series returns for it's fourth installment and it's the biggest and baddest one yet. A huge double-sider from Tony Tuff. Both of these tunes were cut for Channel's still-unreleased Tony Tuff album, but were making the rounds on dubplate and became favored by sounds. The massive "Separation" was played by Jah Shaka, and this original cut is, in our opinion, far superior to the second version Tony cut shortly after for his self-produced album on the CSA label. "How Long" is an awesome tune on Channel's cut of 'truth & rights' which became an anthem for Jah Love soundsystem. Again, both sides with dubs!
Kiddus I - Jah Power, Jah Glory / Jah Power Version
Shepherd / Dub Store Records JPN 1979
¥1980 (US$12.52)
Kiddus I - Fire Burn / Fire Burn Version
Shepherd / Dub Store Records JPN 1979
¥1980 (US$12.52)
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.
I Roy - Sky Juice & Festival Dumpling / Dub
Channel One / Digikiller / Deeper Knowledge US
¥1180 (US$7.46)
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.
