Oh man, just what I needed. Thanks anon. I have been in a heavy King Tubby mood since the temperature starting rising and the clouds parted from the sky.
What are peoples opinion on Bobby Digital and his crew of artists, Shabba Ranks, Cocoa Tea and whatnot? I have always had a fascination for them despite the riddims sounding really thin and frail.
The Heptones...such a good band. Here is one of their many hits...Book Of Rules...

It sucked. It has to be said.
80s dancehall
UK lovers rock
also, Beres Hammond is one of the best soul singers of the last 20 years. if you're not addicted to "They gonna talk", you're not me.
