Pressure Sounds deliver another mouthwatering feast of rare and unreleased recordings from the vaults of Bunny 'Striker' Lee, drawn from the peak years of the mid-seventies, when Striker ruled the musical roost in Jamaica, recording constantly, utilising the hottest session men at Dynamics and Channell One and voicing and mixing down at King Tubby's studio for that magic sound. This album digs deep to present some of that magic here, from the lively, spontaneous exuberance of Big Joe's Rasta Train to the sublime trip through Tubby's echo chamber experienced through A Wonderful Version, as well as some fascinating alternative takes of classic material from Slim Smith, Cornel Campbell, I Roy, John Holt and Eric Donaldson. Essential.
