"Never Get Away" with Delroy Wilson - classic early reggae - the dj interacting with the vocal inna sound-system style. (Too bad U Roy's voice is less prominent in all the CD mixes of this track.)

"Dynamic Fashion Way" - completely addictive riddim/instrumental.

"Full Time" - the title says it all...recorded in the middle of the night (if the liner notes are accurate?).
