The two Horace Andy cuts nod to Studio One: an interpretation of Little Roy's Prophesy reworks Peanut Vendor with the bebop artfulness of the Sound Dimension; while My Heart Is Gone is a homage to the Ken Boothe classic.

The under-recorded Naggo Morris — who replaced another Wackie's alumnus, Leroy Sibbles, in The Heptones — is best remembered for his Joe Gibbs 45, Su Su Pon Rasta: here his soulful baritone is in just such searing form, and the track You Rest On My Mind is devastating.

Wayne Jarrett's opener likewise recasts a reggae evergreen for its rhythm, Keith and Tex' Tonight — but now the music (co-produced by Sugar Minott, either side of the Bubble Up album) is darker and more burnished, with Jarrett's Horace-styled falsetto set off against nyabinghi percussion. Also featured are the only reggae interpretation of Lionel Richie's Truly you might like to hear, and a killer version of Don Carlos' Black Harmony.
