Another Bunny "Striker" Lee Masterpiece this one though very underrated and near forgotten, rare in any condition!!! Aside is great SOUL covers all credits are just to "striker" which probably was a reason for no other licensed releases elsewhere, Bside takes you back to the Roots where the Colonel is from!!!
One of the Great falsetto master riddim riders in the business!
Not aware of any release outside the UK i this format, of course there were a few 45s of Bandolo/ Bandulu/ Bonddolo (on Justice) and i believe Rope In/ Ropin for the Jamaican market pressed.

Dennis Emanuel Brown!!! This must be his finest most balanced work, paying due respects to the king of reggae to begin with a sweet, respectful recut of slave driver before going into 8 ofhis own great conscious creations.
The channel one /harry j / joe gibbs house bands captured at theyre absolute best recorded in late 79 in near perfect harmony.
really one of the great Lps this genre has enjoyed.
to round it all off DEB reinvents the man next door by the mighty john holt, with even bigger bass than the classic.
snap this up with releases even in 1980 in Japan, Germany and France on licence through WEA after the "originals" came out a year early in the Uk and Jamaica.

Beatiful, merry, loud, in-yer-face, genderbending parody of 60s conservative England, questioning the gender of the person at the end of his Party Line on the A-Side of this Great double-header Great intro:

Rrrrrrrring, Rrinng Hellouh Whos That Speaking Plearz?

Great - even rougher than the Original - Kinks Cover, funnily enough produced by the brother of Ray Davies, the writer, Dave.

The B-Side is classic 60's heartache drama material with driving backbeat and slurred vocal from singer-songwriter Dean Maverick of the Attraction/ The Attractions, they from Romford, England.

They only made two 45's before disbanding.
