Dixie Peach - Hold On To Your Man / Tonight Is The Night 12'' [1987 Y&D Original Pressing]
To make up for my sillier posts, here's a nice crucial little piece of UK murderation by Jah Tubby. Instantly recognizable riddim styles and on point singing... can't get better than this! JT, not to be confused with Jamaica's King Tubby, had a stable of young singers and deejays to rip up the unique digi sound coming from England in the 80's, and Dixie Peach was one of the best. Side AA is obviously the hit here, though Hold On is also a sweet piece of love a dub. Not sure why, but it seemed to be a common gimmick in dancehall circles to put a cheesier tune on the first side of a 12'' release, only to save the banger for last. Both tunes have the versions included here fyi.
