    • 1. James Eastwood – Darkest Night
    • 2. Augustus Pablo – The Red Sea

    A dark, driving version of the Soul Vendor’s “Darker Shade of Black” led by Eastwood’s wild, fuzzed-out guitar. Its most likely that James Eastwood is guitarist Mikey Chung and was a play on the Clint Eastwood spaghetti westerns popular in Jamaica at the time. Comes in hand stamped bag.
