    Joe Higgs There's A Reward For Me

    Pressure Sounds
    • Joe Higgs – There's A Reward
    • Joe Higgs – Reward For Me (Version)
    • 1. Joe Higgs – There's A Reward
    • 2. Joe Higgs – Reward For Me (Version)

    Reward for me is one of Joe Higgs finest songs. Evocative of the Trenchtown ghetto where evenings were spent rehearsing and song writing in Joe’s informal ‘yard’ sessions. Reward for me has the added bonus of Eric Gales jazz guitar licks that accompany Joes rhythm guitar. In particular on the B side that is a tasteful instrumental rather than a heavy dub. Absolute classic song long been unavailable on forty five and new come in a hand stamped bag. Essential.
