A rare, previously unreleased Ariwa Sound recording gets a 12-inch release.

Both sides produced by Mad Professor.
Track List
Deeeeeep from the Ariwa archives... all unreleased music from the 80s golden era on here. Sounding absolutely essential to us. Exact year of production uknown at time of writing
The A Side is a Mad Professor produced version of Aisha's 'Give a Little Love', given the UK treatment. The Dub is a proper roller.
Side B is the unheard African Message Dub (Parts 1& 2). Recordings ft Jah Shaka on bass, Norman Grant (Twinkle Brothers) on Drums, Sgt Pepper and Mad Professor on the desk. Masterful UK Dub from these key figures.... pulled out of nowhere.

"Give A Little Love" by Mad Professor, the Ariwa Posse and Sister Aisha, cut from the same cloth as "The Creator." Drum machine-driven computerized reggae — a must for lovers rock fans too. The B-side features Jah Shaka and Norman Twinkle + Mad Professor. (Original Japanese text by Saito)
