More top boss reggae action from the Original Gravity stable in this latest vinyl 7″ Why You Haffi Break My Heart from ‘Junior Flames’ – a.k.a. – yep, you guessed it, label owner and multi-instrumentalist Neil Anderson in company of a session singer. Anderson is so productive if he’s not careful he’ll precipitate yet another wave of ska-early-reggae influenced music all on his own. The time is ripe after all what with a resurgence of northern soul movement having laid the groundwork in the clubs and early-80s set Two Tone drama This Town screening on the Beeb. As usual this single more than ably captures the spirit of ’69 and is accompanied on its B-side by an organ-drenched instrumental versioning from ‘Woodfield Rd Allstars’ (yes, Anderson again) Skinheads Dem A Stomp.
(Out on/around 20 April on Original Gravity Records)
