Two posts in a week? Don't worry, it won't last, but this mix has been sitting on my hard drive for a while now, awaiting a final order and tracklist, so I thought it was about time to send it off into the ether.

1. Basil Miller- 'Rasta Shall Overcome' (Heavy Duty 7”)
2. Mighty Two- 'Don't You Weep'
3. Milton Henry- 'Cornbread and Butter' (Freedom Sounds 7”)
4. King Tubbys- 'Cornbread Dub'
Does Milton Henry really like cornbread and butter, or is he sick of it? Frankly, I think he's conflicted.
5. Tetrack- 'Only Jah Jah Know' (Greensleeves 7”)
6. Rockers All Stars- 'Jah Jah Dub'
7. Omar Bernard- 'Man A Kill Man' (Uhuru LP)
8. Pisa- 'More Peace on the Land'
9. Oameron- 'Version Man'
10. Sylford Walker- 'Lamb's Bread Collie' (South East Music 10”)
Lambs Bread has had a bit if a revive recently with both Young Warrior and Iration playing it out in recent months. Still a cracker.
11. Prince Allah- 'Bosrah' (Stars 7”)
12. Bosrah Dub Plate Mix
13. Mr Bojangles- 'Election Derby' (Socialists 7”)
Worth the cash just for the label:
Thankfully, the song- a fictional re-telling the 1976 JA election in horserace form- is ace too. Capitalism is the loser.
15. Joe Higgs- 'Creation' (PK 10”)
16. Augustus Pablo & Super 8 Corporation- 'Creative'
The biggest addition to my record collection this year has been the work of Joe Higgs. Lord knows how I never really noticed him before, but this 10” and his songs on the Pressure Sounds a) repress of his classic 'Life of Contradiction' LP; b) the associated 7”s and c) Micron comp, have changed all that.
The LP is a gorgeous mix of reggae and soul (think Al Green style), with compositions that are more thoughtful than much of that being released at the time (flying cymbols was in full swing), whilst his contributions on this mix (see also below) are more straight up reggae than 'life...' as they are more fitting, but no less powerful for it.
17. Prince Alla- 'Heaven is My Roof' (Archive Recordings 12”)
18. Musical Intimidator- 'Heaven is My Roof (Version)'
19. Symbols- 'Suffering Child' (Archive Recordings 12”)
20. Version
21. Henry & Louis meets Blue & Red featuring Shalom- 'Jah Jah Never Fail I' (2 Kings 7”)
22. Version
Another record I dug out after it was the first tune dropped by Young Warrior at Subdub in April, which set the scene for a righteous session.
23. Ghetto Priest meets The Dubateers- 'Armageddon' (Dubateers 10”)
24. Blazin Dub
25. Cornell Campbell- 'Natty Don't Go' (Sip A Cup CD)
26. Gussie P All Stars Meets Mafia and Flux [sic]- 'Dub On The Go'
Two cracking UK-dub tunes, with Dubateers slowing things down nicely and Cornell Campbell's contribution to one of my records of the year being followed by a wicked dub.
27. Joe Higgs- 'Wages of Crime' (Pressure Sounds LP)
28. King Tubby's- 'Wages of Crime Version'
29. Earth, Roots & Water- 'Innocent Youths' (Light In The Attic LP)
A melodica driven instrumental from Canada ends things nicely.
