In session 150 I presented a selection of rare, lesser-known cuts from the 70s and 80s. Recently I took another dive into the past to dig up some new treasures. Once again I sifted through songs I felt fell into the “rare” category as most are unknown or ultra-rare 7” releases or as I call them, Rare Reggae Gems. Music left behind in the dust of time but not forgotten.
Kick back, crank up and enjoy this week's session.

On this week show, we take a look at a great release from Gussie Clark, recorded at Channel One and King Tubby's, as well as mixed at King Tubby's studio in 1976 called "The Right Tracks" featuring a who's who of roots legends including Dennis Brown, Augustus Pablo, Leroy Smart amongst a host of others. This release is well worth a look.
