Oneil Dyer - Apartment; Dub / Unknown Artist - Hey Natty Dread
Channel One / Digikiller / Deeper Knowledge US
N/A
The Channel 1 Lost & Found series of previously unreleased music continues with more killer ten inches. Oneil Dyer's "Apartment" was only ever issued on a small press blank label Hitbound 10" in New York, unnoticed by all but the most hyper astute collectors. Heavy tune, with a killer dub, serious 1982 Scientist/Radics style. The B-side of this record features an unknown killer roots tune from around the same time, dubplate material which unfortunately on tape carried no markings as to who the singer is. We absolutely love good female-voiced roots and this is no exception, purely wicked tune. If anyone knows who sings this tune, let us know, as no one including some of those folks involved in making the tune could place it! One thing that is clear however is the voice of Sugar Minott on harmony. Unfortunately no dub version was found for this tune.
Earnest Wilson; Revolutionaries - I Know My Self; Megaton Dub / Version 1 (JA); Version 2 (UK)
Channel One / Digikiller / Deeper Knowledge US
N/A
An undeniable classic, straight from 29 Maxfield Avenue. Ernest Wilson's "I Know Myself" is simply put one of the best reggae tunes of all time (and our personal favorite rhythm EVER!), criminally unavailable on vinyl for many years. Consider this 10-inch now to be its definitive release, the original vocal paired with THREE DIFFERENT dubs, all of which saw release in various places around the time of the tune's original release back in the late '70s.
Clarence Parks - Mount Zion; Dub / Been So Long; Dub
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. Clarence Parks comes in heavy with two awesome tunes, both previously unreleased, again, both sides with dubs. You may recognize the rhythm for "Been So Long" from Half Pint's "Freedom Fighter" and a handful of other tunes, yet another killer Radics riddim employed by several producers working at CH1 at the time. The flip side "Mt. Zion" is a one-away riddim as far as we know, but we wish it wasn't! Heavy stuff, but that's not all…more unreleased Clarence Parks still to come!
Horace Ferguson - Reality; Dub / Youthman; Dub
Channel One / Digikiller / Deeper Knowledge US
N/A
The Channel 1 Lost & Found series of previously unreleased music continues with more killer ten inches. Two heavy shots from Horace Ferguson. Before hitting with "Sensi Addict" for Prince Jazzbo, Horace Ferguson voiced some tunes for Channel 1, like "Fever" and "Walk Out On Me", both of which were issued on 12"s on CH1's JEDI imprint. However, there was more on tape, and how these two bombs didn't end up on release, we don't know, but here they are now. Strictly early 1980's reality style, again in a heavy style that bears the hallmarks of the Roots Radics/Scientist combination. Both tunes with dubs.

Deadly Headley Bennett, Asher - Drums Of The Arab
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. A monster instrumental/dub single, Deadly Headley and Asher's killer lick of the 'drum song' riddim, wicked horns, keyboard and melodica at the forefront. RIP Prince Far I, your legacy of music lives on.
