Under-appreciated cuts abound, with crucial vocals from Barry Biggs and The Viceroys leading into the dub wisdom of "Death To All Racists." A recently unearthed Barry Brown tune and dub follow, before reverences from son (Noel) and father (Alton) Ellis. "Struggle" keeps the combination of a funky groove with a potent message going, before The Viceroys return, setting up the closing number from Stranger Cole - hope you enjoy this sixth installment.
