Black Petty Booshwah produced by Linton Kwesi Johnson for Unknown Label in 1980
Black Petty Booshwah Riddim dates to 1980 and is credited to Linton Kwesi Johnson for an unknown label, with a small four-track lineup that keeps the focus tight on dub versions and LKJ’s own De Black Petty Booshwah. The release brings together Action Dub, Action Line, and Straight To Madray’s Head, with Rico Rodriguez and Dickage alongside Johnson on the two Action cuts, which gives the set a strong horn-led dub-poetry feel. LKJ was already moving through that politically sharp spoken-word and reggae space at the time, and this riddim captures that period in a concise, roots-heavy form.
