Pressure Sounds UK 1973
¥1580 (US$10.22)
Mighty Abajians - Don't Change The System
Swing Bird / / Digikiller / Deeper Knowledge US 1980
N/A
Second cut on the rhythm first used for "Untamed", much much of a straight mix employed here, with a pure drum & bass dub version.
Wailing Souls - Very Well / Version
Channel One / Digikiller / Deeper Knowledge US
N/A
An undeniable classic straight from 29 Maxfield Avenue. The Wailing Souls' "Very Well", all-time epic roots reggae, and as impassioned a song about repatriation as ever sung. This 12-inch reissue replaces the B-side "Fire Coal Man" from the original release with a full extended dub of "Very Well"!
Kiddus I - Fire Burn / Fire Burn Version
Shepherd / Dub Store Records JPN 1979
¥1980 (US$12.81)
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.

Trevor Byfield - Jah Guide / Father Version
Fox Fire / Digikiller / Deeper Knowledge US 1979
N/A
'Jah Guide' is classic roots, originally released only on a UK 12-inch on the Ethnic Fight label.
Jennifer Lara - Music By The Score / Dub
Cry Tuff / Digikiller / Deeper Knowledge US 1979
N/A
Deep late '70s roots from Prince Far I's CRY TUFF label. Only ever released on JA 45, reissued for the first time. As lovers of female fronted roots tunes we had to get this killer Jennifer Lara tune out there, a rugged lick of the 'rockfort rock' riddim.
Horace Andy - Our Jamaican National Heroes / King Tubby - Our Heroes Dub
Striker Lee UK 1975
¥1180 ¥1380 (US$8.92)
Midnight Riders - Posse Forn A Line / Revolutionaries - Dub
Channel One / Digikiller / Deeper Knowledge US 1978
N/A
This is one of the best tunes from the Riders, who are one our all-time personal favorite artists, so this one is a special joy for us to bring out. A simply amazing late era Channel 1 riddim, proving that Channel ruled from beginning to end.
Invader / Digikiller / Deeper Knowledge US 1971
Heaven & Earth/Conquering Lion
N/A
Prince Jazzbo did indeed produce two other cuts on the same rhythm as Naggo Morris' "Bootlegger", by The Invaders, a harmony group from Greenwich Farm and Trenchtown! One cut, "Conquering Lion" was given by Jazzbo to the then-young Coxsone sound system in London, for play and promotion on the sound. Over the years and through the Capitol Radio broadcast, the tune became legendary. The other cut, "Heaven & Earth" was released in Jamaica for the Invaders on their own new Invader label.
