I still haven't actually seen the film!

V/A - Roots of Dance Hall: Thomson Sound Meets The Roots Radics at Channel One (Auralux)

It's rocksteady, james

Been after that Paragons LP, got outbid on a Mint original lately. Must try harder..

Now playing on the Leggo Rocker's turntable:

Bass Culture - Linton Kwesi Johnson - Island

That track Lorraine (standing in the Rain) seems so fitting at the moment - non-stop rain a fall in the UK for almost two months now

Come to think of it, this track hits the nail on the head too:

Inglan Is A Bitch

Better yet leggo: "England A Me Yard" with YT.

True Jah Glu, On the Beach is clearly Rocksteady (if only by the release date), but if I close my eyes and listen, I hear the ghost of Ska hiding in the background.

On the LKJ topic, I'm spinning "LKJ in Concert with the Dub Band" next.
