A bit of a change of pace this week on the channel, with uploads of three 7-inch version cuts from a bunch of cheap dancehall 45s.
I picked all these up in a dirty, disorganised tub on the floor of a local second hand shops, all for under five bucks!
Since then I have been banging them at many a bar gig, and thought they deserved a bit more recognition.
Ranging from the late 1990s to early 2000s, these versions showcase stunning dub production, beautiful instrumentation and all for a few dollar b-side!
The first one coming from the Sweet Beat label, the b-side of rasta legend Luciano's Jah Will Surely Deliver. Check out the record on Discogs here.
Next, what looks like the first release on US label Twin Tower records, probably around 2006. While Perilous Time has heavy hitting vocals from Bascom X, this version keeps the whistles for a playful dub side. Check out the record on Discogs here.
Lastly, the Front Page Crew of Font Page Records brings us a sublime Version of Junior Kelly's Hungry Days. Special shoutout to the whistle hook that sounds straight of a west coast g-funk record! Check out the record on Discogs here.
Hopefully these uploads show you that you never know what you might be able to get on the floor or in a dirty crate somewhere! It might just have your new staple tune down there! Can never dig too deep.
