Barry Brown - Got To Be Sure / Little John - Working Woman
Channel One / Digikiller / Deeper Knowledge US
¥2380 (US$15.05)
Here is more fire from Barry's aborted second album sessions, vocal and dub previously unreleased, a heavy Radics-backed version of Horace Andy's killer tune.
Mikey General - Walker John; Dub / Singer With The Falvor; Dub
Dub Irator / Bond Export / Deeper Knowledge US 1984
B: Stalag
¥2380 (US$15.05)
Mikey General's 12" is a killer double sider, both with dubs. Awesome heavy mid 80's style. "Walker John" has a sound not unlike the great mid-80s material on the Tasha label, while "Singer With the Flavor" is a soundboy tune, complete with rewind, on a heavy take of the much-loved stalag rhythm.
Half Pint - One Big Ghetto / Tonto Irie - Ram Up Every Corner
Jammys / Dub Store Records JPN 1984
N/A
Without mentioning Half Pint, the true story about the Jammys label can never be told. King Jammy adopted a classic song ‘Open The Gate’ and versioned the rhythm digitally. The young Half Pint claims this wild world is ‘One Big Ghetto’. On the flip side, Tonto Irie showcases his skillful and edgy lyrical flow to the same rhythm.
