Junior Murvin (Junior Soul) - Rescue The Children / Rescue The Children Version
Move & Groove / Dub Store Records JPN 1974
N/A
Recorded in 1974, this is Junior Murvin's first Roots tune ever. Having always been sought after by collectors, this song is possibly the ultimate classic. This is a completely different take from the one Junior Murvin recorded for Lee Perry in 1977 for the “Police and Thieves” LP distributed by Island. Undoubtedly this is one of Murvin’s best tunes, which should be in every collector’s record box.
Junior Murvin - Rescue Jah Children / Instrumental Dub Version
Wild Flower / Dub Store Records JPN 1976
N/A
This tune was the second Roots tune recorded by Junior Murvin after his first 1974 masterpiece. With different dynamics, this great track was also highly sought after, and considering this tune as one of his few recordings during the period, it should be recognized as an important record and a true masterpiece.
Upright Foundation - Wolf In Sheep Clothing / Where Wolf Version
Wisdom / Digikiller US / Depper Knowledge US 1976
¥1180 (US$7.63)
"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.
Barry Brown - Jah Jah Disciple / Version
Jah Life / Bond Export / Deeper Knowledge US 197-
¥1180 (US$7.63)
A monster previously unreleased vocal & dub outing from Barry Brown, riding the "Shaolin Temple" rhythm. Again, this vocal and dub were run on dubplate back in the day by Jah Life's sound in NY and Junjo's Volcano sound in Jamaica, now released for the first time ever.
Earl Sixteen - Malcolm X / Winston Mcanuff - Armaggedon Time
Wild Flower / Crystal / Dub Store Records JPN 1976/ 1977
N/A
Featuring Earl Sixteen, who later recorded an album at Studio One, the last title of our Derrick Harriott re-issue series is one of the most rare Roots tunes from Harriott’s production. The A-side proves that Roots Reggae was at its pick at the time, and the B-Side, with its militant beat by Winston McAnuff, who renamed himself to Electric Dread, make this record an all-time Roots favorite.
