Released 13th March 2020

Press Release:

These two revolutionary proto Breakbeat/Funk/Dub high tempo dance floor killer intrumentals have been extracted from the 1970 EASTWOOD RIDES AGAIN album from 1970... 50 years on and they still sound incredibly innovating and irresitible today! This release is definitely for the dance floor - heavy on breaks, drums, bass and Dub and these are highlighted further by the special LOUD CUT pressing.

On 7" vinyl for the first time - originally published on the 1970 album The Upsetters' EASTWOOD RIDES AGAIN on Trojan. 
This is a licensed issue of the Jamaican funk instrumental track by Lee "Scratch" Perry and the Upsetters in 1970 and never issued on 7" vinyl previously. It has been more recently highlighted on the fantastic Soul JAZZ 100% DYNAMITE compilation album from 1998. "POPCORN" is an incredible up tempo breakbeat instrumental, predating everybody else by years, a dancefloor bomb full of syncopated beats, bass and drums. Awesome dance floor tune, absolutely unstoppable!
