2012 February list #2
REGGAE:
Madness – Sir Clarkie / Mad mad dub – Ace and the inswing (G 7″ on Scorpian. Low-slung skanking. Highly recommended. Scuffs and surface noise, again, meaning a bargain to be had on this impossibly obscure tune.) £20
Keith Poppin – What Have I Done / Skin, Flesh & Bones – Jungle Rock (G+ World Wide Records 7″. The A is lovers, and not really my thing but the flip is a heavy, heavy dub) £10

Stranger Cole & Glady – Skanking Monkey / version (G+ Anderson records 7″. Surface noise on the first 20 seconds of the version spoils a fantastic skanking dub unfortunately) £5
All We Need Is Love – Alton Ellis / Jericho rock – Dino (G Roots reggae 7″. The soulful sounds of Alton on the A side and a great DJ track on the flip that hits the spot for me. Heavy surface noise on this and writing on label so waaaay cheaper than it would otherwise be.) £5

Joe Higgs – You Must / version (VG Gorgon records 7″) £5
Clint eastwood – Badder than you / Joe Gibbs & The Professionals – Better Callie (G+ Town and Country 7″. Wicked DJ version and organ-led instrumental on the ‘Uptown top ranking’ riddim. 2 incredible sides.) £5
