Going back in time now - here we have Aqua Levi on one of Martin Campbell's original tracks which was re-issued on a demo CD (now long gone) in 2009, but was originally produced for vinyl, a decade or so ago. You may find this track in the wilds and it is also available as an MP3 as part of a web-based sampler:

http://reggaeretrouk.blogspot.co.uk/2017/01/free-tracks-older-reggae-retro-sampler.html

This Soundcloud version was EQ'ed before upload, so the original sounds a little dryer.

Enjoy & spread the vibes.
