Been meaning to dig out some soulful reggae 45's for a while now, a good way to calm the nerves and a hangover cure for this weekend maybe! Here's just under 75 mins of some of my faves from the box. Some slower sides, some dancers, some classics, a couple from the wonderful Alton Ellis 'Cry Tough' CD and a few harder to find 45s in there too. Hope this brings the sunshine and England winning on Sunday!
