Little John - False News / Dub
Channel One / Digikiller / Deeper Knowledge US 198-
¥1680 (US$10.72)
ittle John's "False News" is the rarest released cut on Channel's killer "fight fight" riddim, this time employing some great synth work. Those paying close attention will notice that this riddim is so good, it was licked over by the Choppper crew for our previously released Lionel Barrett and Bobby Melody tunes on that label.
Al Campbell - Down In Babylon / Version
Channel One / Digikiller / Deeper Knowledge US
N/A
One killer unreleased blast, straight from 29 Maxfield Avenue. Previously unreleased heater from Al Campbell. From the same sessions as produced his great tune "Jah Army" (coming soon!) is this gem, fantastic early '80s roots, licking back some lyrics he did earlier for producer Larry Lawrence's Ethnic label.
Hortense Ellis - Jah Mysterious Works / Mysterious Dub
Dub Irator / Bond Export / Deeper Knowledge US 1981
N/A
These heavy early '80s tunes were produced via the fruitful partnership of Jah Life and Junjo Lawes, and have all been unavailable since their original release. All three were released as mini-discomixes on Jah Life's "Family Album" compilation LP, as well as on UK 12-inch singles and one JA 7-inch single. Again the unbeatable combination of the Roots Radics at Channel 1 studio, and the hard mixing of Scientist at King Tubby's studio and great vocals put these near the top of the heap for early '80s roots reggae. We are also pleased to point out that the dub mix on the B-side of "Alligator Tears" is a previously unreleased dubplate mix!
