Here's a good roots tune that I never really liked until quite recently. It's John Steele with 'Selassie On His White Horse' - it's deejay cut to the Black Uhuru's 'I Love King Selassie', and is very nicely dubbed up. I originally bought this for the dub, and didn't really rate the deejay side.
I still think it's a bit shaky at the start, but once John Steele hits his stride he comes out with some pretty good lyrics, and it works at least as well as U Black's version. This is quite a rare tune, and I'm starting to regret flogging it.

Well Wicked Tunah!!
Y'know, I've come to realize over the last few months that you really
have the site I look forward to updates the most of any I frequent.... Always something that's either interesting in its' own right or that leads me to investigate a whole new aspect that I'd previously been ignoring. Many thanks, and PLEASE keep it up.
Love the Dub! It´s even a more dubbed out version than the one on "Jammy´s in Lion Dub Style".
thanks again!
