 They are heavyweight. 
 
 Toney Rome is the saem as Crash Crew on Mike and Dave. 
 
 The Micron is the b side to Jah Vengeance by Vivian Jackson and is a seminal Tubby dub piece - besides being one of the more sampleable reggae intro's ever. 
 
 The Chosen Few is the track they use on SOul Jazz Studio 1 soul comp 
 
 and the JO is absolutely mind-blowing Toronto steez. Only 2 known records on that label and both are

 That said, I just got back from another Lady's house:

 This album is by the St Vincent Latinaires. It's on Soufriere. It's funky.

 THis was the pick of the litter. Those of you familiar with the ever changing JA spelling techniques will probably clue into the arrangers name, L Tatte. As thought, it was Lynn Taitt's arrangement...and those of you who know that his work has always included a heavy dose of funk will be glad to hear it's <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/melt.gif" alt="" />

 Right away, because of the text and color of the ink, the artist, ohh and the sound of the music, I knew it was Wackie's. This 45 will never my possession (if I can help it).

 Been after thsi rocksteady classic for a minute.

 Oh, and here's one for Raj and Guzzo. Boom modern soul from a Toronto reggae label via " "What You Tryin' To Do" and "Over and OVer". Rear cover states engineering is by Glen Johnson, which knowing JA spelling is likely Glen Johansen of Risco Connections (so-called) fame..and jugding by the Studio's used, I'd bet heavily on it (like 50,000 star lock, heavy)
