Lilly Melody - Give Me Some More 7'' [198x Park Heights Original Pressing]

Absolutely brilliant tune featuring superb riddim by Delroy Francis. Title track to Lilly's only LP, Give It To Me, on the Park Heights label of course. Tune is titled Give Me Your Loving on the LP. This 7'' was repressed by Deadly Dragon a few years back, but the og press is hard to find, as well as the LP itself. Do yourself a favor and check it out if you're not familiar with this one.

Colonel Lloydie - Run Come Call Me 7'' [199x Techniques Original Pressing]

Killer sound clash Nanny Goat riddim produced by Winston Riley, and sung over by a Tenor Saw sounding Lloydie. Good strong tune here.

Cool label art on small independent label. Osbourne rides a bubbly digi riddim with ease!

Teddy Brown - Raggamuffin Soldier / Want To Be Free 12'' [198x Young And Fresh Original Pressing]

Hard to find 12'' by Jah Life subsidiary label. Singer Teddy Brown kills both sides, with the A1 side on a interesting Stalag cut, while the A2 side is a riddim I don't recognize. Both sides have the version included.

Courtney Melody - Tell Them 7'' [198x Taurus Original Pressing]

One of the best Tubby digikal riddims he put out in my opinion. Ruff tuff bassline!

Melody Teach Dem

Tenor Saw and General Doggie - Chill Out Chill Out / Tenor Saw - To Love Somebody 12'' [198x Night Life Posse Original Pressing]

Double sided release over the same riddim, with Saw teaming up with Doggie on the A side, and then going at it alone on the flip. Chill Out has been repressed and is more well known, but I like the B side better as it showcases Tenor's singing more. I believe this was one of the last tunes Tenor released before his death. This is also one of his only UK releases, and features the version on the Chill Out side...
