And here's the Version side played by Skin, Flesh & Bones featuring Lloyd Parks on bass and Sly Dunbar on drums. It sounds like it was then mixed at King Tubby's...

In 1975, Junior Byles went into Randy's studio to record a handful of tunes for new producer Dudley 'Manzie' Swaby and his Ja-Man label.

This included a couple of duets with Rupert Reid, like this beautiful praise song...

Very sad to hear trumpeter Eddie 'Tan Tan' Thornton has died aged 94.

Eddie graduated from Alpha Boy's School and moved to London where he played on many records including The Beatles Revolver LP.

Small Faces wrote this song about him...

And on the B side was probably the first time King Tubby's was credited as the artist on a 7".

He transforms I Admire You into a deep cavernous dub that only occasionally comes up for air.

Best played loud!

This mighty 7" by Dennis Brown was recorded at Channel One in 1976 with Sly Dunbar's powerful drumming at the fore.

It also featured on Side A of Dennis' Wolf & Leopards LP, one of the great LP sides in roots reggae...

Happy 82nd birthday to living legend Dandy Livingstone.

Dandy wrote and recorded this classic in London in 1967.

He only knew that The Specials had covered it in '79 when he saw them playing it on Top Of The Pops...
