It's very much green for 'Go' on the absolutely gorgeous Traffic Light from the band's second LP, Ups, which follows previous single The Blender in conjuring up a slice of funky Hammond-led boss reggae so deliriously joyful it will, in the future, be prescribed by the medical profession to eliminate depression.
So what could you possibly pair with that? Well, Bust Up finds the band going all out funky in the way The Upsetters did on Popcorn or – even more accurately - the way Jackie Mittoo did on Get Up & Get It – with a straight-up Hammond-led groove. This one was the funkiest track on the debut album, The Return Of The Flying Hats, and the fact that it constitutes the B-side of the lead single for the second album isn't as weird as it seems when you discover that all the 'Hats material for both albums and both singles was recorded in the same session.
