This week, David re-visits Bunny Wailer’s debut solo album, Blackheart Man, which was released in 1976 and is still regarded as one of the greatest reggae sets of all time. You can also re-live the sweet memory of John Holt’s Help Me Make It Through the Night, which put him in the British charts in 1974. And if your mobile phone has ever got you into trouble, then you have to hear Sanchez’s Jamaican chart smash on the subject.”

This week, David looks back to the summer of 1976, when a new British reggae band had just been signed to a major British label, Island Records. They were Aswad, the young lions of Ladbroke Grove, whose debut single Back to Africa rocketed to the top of the British reggae charts. Hear it again on Radio 2 with Rodigan, along with music from the 60s Jamaican queen of rocksteady Phyllis Dillon, and Desmond Dekker’s first UK chart-topper.”
