Heard this on Alpha Boys School Radio. Now listening to whole album on my streaming service. Vin Gordon plays a mean trombone!

I listen to a radio channel called Alpha Boys School Radio. I heard this song on it today and thought it was lovely. Instrumental Reggae stripped to the bones with haunting trumpet melody.

Having been a U Roy fan since the mid-seventies, I can't believe I've only just discovered this gem.

Bob Marley's Natural Mystic instrumental version.

Deleted - Double post.

Once again, my Tidal streaming service's recommendations have found me another gem. Reggae lovers will love this. Includes dub. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQXgLJndjuI

Lots of echo and reverb if you like that in your heavy dub. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNNS8v4d918

A lot of you will remember Anita Ward's "Ring my Bell"? Here's quite a heavy extended Reggae version complete with second-half dub. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4epRpnMakU

I've been playing a lot of Lee Perry stuff these last few days to appreciate his work. I came across this - Vins Dub. Rock solid rhythm with all sorts dancing around in the background. Lee "Scratch" Perry at his utter best. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7a6IdsWGgw

Really enjoyed whacking this one out yesterday evening. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXXm9sUrdBo

I had a ticket to see Prince Buster at the Concorde 2 many years ago. Typically, as a lot of Jamaican artists, he didn't show up!

Haven't had my daily blast of Reggae yet, but yesterday I heard this for the first time in ages. Absolute Prince Buster instrumental classic, from 1967. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rq6ooSWLJ7U

This is cheating - sorry! Although it's only one track, it's lots of songs blended in to one superb Reggae session. Starts off with Yabby You stuff and then goes off in all directions. If you can, wallop it through your hi-fi, or whatever you youngsters call them nowadays...

A 3 minute song. The first minute is the intro and then it really gets going. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYeo375EBBM

The Tidal Streaming Service produces for you a daily mix based on what you've been listening to. Amongst my today's mix was a seven minute vocal and dub of Black Woman by Queen Ifrica. Youtube has each half as separate videos. Here's the fantastic second half dub section...

I had a King Tubby session today. I played an album I hadn't heard for more than 30 years - King Tubby Surrounded by the Dreads at the National Arena. King Tubby is renowned as the inventor of Jamaican Dub. This track from the1975 album is a great example of how he mixed his magic...

With Bob Marley leaving us 40 years ago two days' ago, today I had the first opportunity since, to blast out his tunes to honour his passing. I put on the album "Catch a Fire", of which there was an excellent documentary of its making on Sky Arts two days' ago which I watched. I accidently...

Those familiar with the classic Reggae album "Tighten Up - Vol 2" will know the song "Sufferer" by the Kingstonians. This is a marvelous instrumental version. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvsTY4m6FaM

Went back to the late '60s this afternoon. Listened to some classic instrumental Reggae. How's this for a version of "Blue Moon" from Lloyd Charmers? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqYmLOKZ9WI
