By 1989, Live and Love had this thing in a tight little groove: a five-cut dancehall set with Bunny General, Johnny P, Major Mackerel and a Singing Melody/Johnny P combo riding the Botha riddim under King Jammy’s production. “Sound A Sound” has that sharp, talkative Johnny P energy that cuts straight through, while Major Mackerel’s “Sorry Fi Botha” leans into his playful patter without losing the bounce. Bunny General’s “Must Get Defeat” keeps the pressure on, and “Say You Love Me Baby” adds a smoother, more melodic turn to the plate. It’s a compact little late-’80s dancehall snapshot, right in that era when Live and Love was leaning hard on Jammy’s sleek digital feel and pairing it with voices that knew how to work a riddim.
