Review: Doctor Bird's latest deep dive into 1970s Jamaican reggae focuses on the releases of Randy's Records, a Kingston-based imprint whose roots hits were later issued in the UK by Trojan Records. The first disc concentrates on the label's leading star of the time, Trevor Shaw AKA Billy London, offering an expanded edition of his superb 1972 debut album Bridge Over Troubled Water. It comes on disc one by various singles and B-sides performed by the effortlessly soulful singer, as well as a suite of tracks from other Randy's artists based on the 'A Little Love' riddim.
