Whats this one like

[cover=392,464]

Is it worth buying

Dave

Sublime rock steady, some really really nice stuff on that one. If you don't have these tunes, you need them!

Dave - get it.

Still on the rocksteady train , Dave ? NICE.... (tu)

Thanks Guys.

I am on the case and this one will be in my collection real soon.

also worth seeking out is Put On Your Best Dress, a Sonia P comp released on Attack around '90. i actually like it better than the heartbeat set, but does have some overlap (sound quality isn't as good, though). i copied this from Tapir's page since i don't see it on Roots Archives.

Great album worth getting for the Brent Dowe track alone.
