Vena / Dub Store Records JPN 1987
¥1980 (US$12.83)
A very well-acquainted Dancehall classic rhythm "Tonight". Vena's version is without a doubt one of the top rated remakes alongside Jammys'. Melodious and melancholic arrangement meets Tonny Tuff's gourgeous singing - it's the true charm of Dancehall music.

Nitty Gritty - Turn Them Back / Turn Them Back Dub
Prince Jammys Dub / Dub Store Records JPN 1986
¥1980 (US$12.83)
You might have seen Jammy playing this devastating sound killer in sessions lately, although before that this Nitty Gritty on Jammy’s ‘Tempo’ has only been heard on dubplates. No one knows why it never came out – is it because it was a counteraction to Tubby? Or tune that was the lethal weapon of Jammy? There is nothing we can do but imagine those pictures when listening to the intense energy and impact of this tune.

This is a killer cut from "Nitty Gritty - Mulfunction" segment, Delroy Katt singing in well-trained voice riding on nimble and firing rhythm.
Daddy Freddie - Bad Boy A Street
Vena / Dub Store Records JPN 1987
¥1380 (US$8.94)
Same rhythm to “Sanchez & Stinger Man - Hello Josephine”, a dangerous Daddy Freddy cut on one of Vena’s most iconic “Turn On The Heat” rhythm has now been pressed on a 7” for the first time. Freddy’s lyrical machine-gun is right up on “Bad Boy A Street”!

Jammys / Dub Store Records JPN 1988
¥1380 (US$8.94)
Slightly different cut to “Jack Slick” originally released on Live & Love 12” only, this Al Campbell vocal is highly refined and soulful deploring the use of guns and its consequences. A late 80’s killer digital.

Jammys / Dub Store Records JPN 1989

Cool Ruler a.k.a. Gregory Isaacs’ stunning lovers vocal on heavyweight Jammys digital. Much more focused on vocal compared to the Music Lab cut not to mention the gorgeous chorus part.
Pad Anthony - Gotta Be Strong / King Jammy - Gotta Be Strong Version
Jammys / Dub Store Records JPN 1987
¥1380 (US$8.94)
Another wicked vocal from Pad Anthony of the Jammys posse. Encouraging lyrics that can relate to many of us even today. On rhythm side it’s got catchy riff and comical synth action.
