Wayne Palmer - Cool Profile / Trevor Levy - Murderer 12' [198x Firehouse Original Pressing]

Tubby's signature sound on both of these.... Palmer's track on the same riddim as Robert French's Mi Raggamuffin [Black Solidarity], and Levy's track on Anthony Redrose's Worries Again [Firehouse]. Both killer chunes!! Versions included....

Early Black - Rambo Mi Rambo 7'' [1989 Dennis Star Original Pressing]

Another prominent theme of the 80's, DJ's compared their sound clash killings to the massacres Stallone handed out in his cheesy but awesome movies!


Snag Here
Lovindeer - Wild Gilbert 12'' [1988 TSOJ Original Pressing]

Many a tunes were written about the hurricane that hit the Carribean in 1988....
In Jamaica alone it killed 45 people and caused $4 billion of damage.
With such a catastrophe at hand its amazing how many of the "Gilbert" tracks are quite upbeat, optimistic, and like this one, even comical.

Billy Jean Riddim, that in my opinion, rivals Shinehead's numerous versions.
