Jah Trinity Bristol 1990 A wicked tape of the Roots master Jah Trinity shaking up the Bristol area. Thanks to Nic Tribulation...
Jah Tubby vs Rema Havana Club, Derby 12-8-1983 A wicked dance this one and it comes in 2 parts so you get almost 3 hours of it. Jah Tubbs is the ruler here and even without his mic men he absolutley tears it up. It's Keith alone working the sound and on mic duties and he can't resist making Rema pay for incorrectly saying one of their tunes is recorded at King Tubby's when it's a Channel One production. He is really firing on all cylinders in this session and with his box of dubs you know there can be only one outcome..... Tubbs the winner!!
