Give Me Power (sadly deleted by Trojan in 2004) is one of the best collections of Lee Perry's pre-Black Ark productions, as well as a personal favourite. All of the artists were some of the best in Perry's stable, even if not all of them are well known. Stand out tracks include Neville Grant's "Sick And Tired" (a vocal version of the famous "Return Of Django"), Junior Byles' eloquently angry "Rasta No Pickpocket", Lee Perry's heavy duty "Justice To The People", and Shenley Duffus' "To Be A Lover" - cut years before the more famous George Faith version. Throw in a couple of hot DJ numbers ("Mid East Rock" by Dillinger and "Hot Tip" by Prince Django) and you have an all killer, no filler collection.
