Duck and Head Out!

Horace Ferguson - Senci Addick 7'' [1984 Ujama Original Pressing]

From what I've heard, Ferguson's Sensi Addict LP has been credited as the first fully digital album to come out of Jamaica. Here we have a rare instrumental (non digi) cut of the title track that is different from the album version. Personally I like the digikal one better, but this is still an interesting bit of history to listen to. Anyone have more info? Much appreciated-

Cassette and Tape - We Kill Sounds/Scion Sashay Success - It Is Hot 7'' [199x San Salvage Original Pressing]

What can I say about this one? Straight fire! Rare double sided tune 45 on an obscure US label. Don't know anything about Cassette and Tape (single artist or duo?) but both tracks get ripped over the same riddim! I like the random height/eye color description on the label art as well... damn near like an ID. Weird-
