Apart from Signing Off and some of their earlier stuff which I like, I don’t think they’ve done much that really appealed to me but, these couple of tunes from their dub album are quite good 

 

 

[Grimalkin]

Merry Christmas everyone...

 

 

[Reggaebass]

One of the classics

I've always liked this:

 

 

[Bunion]

Some nice chilled dub

Love this track, and although not strictly reggae zero7 did an amazing cover of this. The bass line belongs in this thread

There were so many good tunes and musicians, early recordings always remind me of blues parties in Birmingham, always sounded like the bands were recorded in someone’s living room, and sometimes they did play there

Same for me ,blues parties and sound systems were a regular thing in east London, especially on the estate I lived on , they started Friday and finished Monday morning 😁

Both excellent but Johnny Osbourne is the winner for me, the line 'tomorrow is promised to no-one' gets me everytime. Soul Jazz have just re-released it on 7" which I just got recently.

Yeah I like Johnny osbourne’s version, I saw discogs have the album for £20 but it’s a different album cover to the one I remember 

[SumOne]

Currently listening to this excellent jazzy dub album 'Natty locks dub', produced by Winston Edwards.  Its also been re-released. 

 

I got it as a Christmas present (basically to myself with my wife claiming credit although I paid for it, ordered it, and it wasn't wrapped up!).
