The new laptop still hasn't materialised. 48 hour delivery? Pah! So, to prevent another potential hard-drive crash on the old one, I'm keeping things brief. My house isn't much of a home without a reliable computer and all the music it contains - there's certainly an air of tension around the place anyway. So here's Junior Dan's self-produced debut single, a dense, atmospheric cover of the Bacharach & David classic, recorded at The Black Ark in 1973 and released the following year.

Saturday Scratch, an occasional series that
shines a light on a selection with a Lee
'Scratch' Perry connection.
