A dig into the vaults leads to the lesser-spotted Jah Free, a stalwart of the '90s dub scene and purveyor of all things musically DIY. This vocal cut is from Jah Free with a brutal bassline backed with alternative dub mix to the version that was originally released on Zion Train's Deep Root label in 1998.

50th anniversary reissue of the ground-breaking set, originally released on Charisma in 1974. A record that at the time straddled the world between "pub rock" scene and the then seemingly new sound of reggae music, at least to UK years. Released hot-on-the-heels of the Wailers' Catch a Fire and Burnin, when "reggae fever" was starting to take root in the UK. G.T. Moore had previously been part of the legendary folk group Heron, before becoming the first white musician to make any serious attempt to make authentic reggae. The eponymously titled debut set from the Reggae Guitars featured session musician John "Rabbit" (who has worked with Wailers, Free, and The Who) and was mixed by Tom Platt who engineered the Catch a Fire album. The set mostly consists of originals with the exception of covers of tracks by Bob Dylan, Heptones, and Diana Ross.

Six melodic instrumental tracks presented in the traditional extended "discomix" showcase dub style, that lean heavily towards the sounds of late '70s/early '80s. The melodica carries echoes of Augustus Pablo, while the acoustic guitar gives the recordings a lighter, more atmospheric touch, reminiscent of Fazal Prendergast, before the dub mixes come in and cause havoc in a King Tubby/Scientist style. Guiding Shield is comprised of producers Liam McGurk from Partial Records and Dougie Wardrop from Conscious Sounds who both share instrument credits and production duties.
