Enforcer Sound System (Derby, UK) - Dubplate collection : late 1970s - 1983.....
Enforcer sound was founded in the late 1970's and played up until 1983 - and is still remembered fondly to this day as the sound system that put the city of Derby on the UK Reggae map.....
Unfortunately there are hardly any live soundtape recordings of Enforcer sound in existence - with only a couple of 10 min fragments around - recorded on a ghetto blaster....
Luckily (and through sheer persistance !) I managed to get in touch with a former member of Enforcer sound who had recorded a selection of dubplates from the sound's record box  - and still had the tape 40 years on from when the sound system ended !!......
All of the dubplates are from the late 1970s - 1983 and are the old style of dubplates - i.e. the sound's name is not on the recording - but the tunes are exclusive cuts of tunes that you could not buy at the record shop at the time....
