Barrington Levy: Fuss Nor Fight (Sweet Reggae Music) 7″
These Jah Guidance reissues are just straight quality, clean and loud pressings of the best that Junjo Lawes’ early 80s label had to offer complete with the Scientist dubs on the b-side. This one features Barrington Levy’s feelgood “Fuss Nor Fight” aka “Sweet Reggae Music,” an early hit for him over a signature Roots Radics riddim. The sound quality thing really comes into play on this one too because the Jah Guidance style of mixing at the time (approx 1979) was to leave the Roots Radics sounding full, heavy and layered. Horns are popping in, there’s that little bubbling organ underneath, clicking percussion things, and Flabba Holt’s big bass anchoring it all. Best to hear that in total.
