For the third 7” disc in the series we move back in time for some seriously hardcore ska, with two tunes that were begging to be made available again….  ‘Come Back Home’ is a heartful cry to a lost love by the Movers, who are perhaps better known for ‘Sercy Tea’ which they also recorded for Buster. They were led by one Winston Dias who emigrated to Toronto at the age of nineteen and who now sings with The Melodians. This is paired with an absolutely scorching floor filler, Buster’s tribute to Muhammad Ali’s secret weapon, the ‘linger on punch’ which he talked about in the run up to his big fight with Floyd Patterson in 1965 (although it looks like he never really used it!). Aficionados will note that the vocals and percussion have been surgically removed, leaving this classic ska track in all its unadorned instrumental glory, as befits it’s reissue on one of Buster’s earliest designs, the renowned ‘Wild Bells’ hallmark.
