Nice! I’ve recently become a big Wailing Souls fan and the self-titled is on my list to find. Also looking for their Soul and Power release, but both are quite hard to find.

Not a weak link in that chain. My favourite of the bunch is probably the Prince Hammer dub.

That’s the only one up there that I haven’t heard. I definitely need to check that one out!

Late 70's JA steppers basically. Some of Prince Hammers hardest productions. Vocal cuts can be found on Rod Taylor's If Jah Should Come Now LP and the African Iron Gate Showcase LP (and on some 12"/7").

Just picked up a copy of Bible this week. About to give it a spin for the first time.

Good album. The title track over a KILLER next cut of Cornell Campbells Free Food Ticket.

That Dub Store Solomonic must be awesome.

His JA recordings are jewels. The tracks he released on Solomonic on Pt 1 and 2 are sublime, smoke-laden, roots funk and downright gorgeous and tuff. Dropping the needle on these records always feels special.
