Trevor Byfield - Love Me Version




Released in the early 70's, this is the first record I know of to have recorded scratching. This is one deep ass dub track complete with a steam engine locomotive to drive it home.

Marcus Reid - Poor Man Cry



Reissued in the 90's as Max - Inner City Blues, this roots gem features heartfelt blues style lyrics with a killer Pablo version.

Glen Brown - Scatter Light Rock



Glen Brown the "God Son" produced some quality roots records in the 70's, this one included. Check out the guitar, it sounds like the strings are about an inch away from the neck.

Vernal Wentworth - Rainbow



Based on Gene Chandler's Rainbow, some lovely laid back singing over a driving Studio 1 rhythm.
