Record Kicks presents a new limited edition 45 clear vinyl by UK rock steady/soul/dub combo Pama International. The first single is a rework of Martha Reeves & The Vandella’s soul classic Heatwave and stars the beautiful lead vocal harmonies of Jewels Vass and Anna Uhuru. The result is a splendid Rock Steady-Soul cut that has already been supported amongs the others by Reggae ambassadors Don Letts and David Rodigan and Funk&Soul minister Craig Charles on their radio shows.

In their first 10 years Pama Int’l recorded 9 albums, 3 BBCRadio 1 Maida Vale sessions, won the Rebel playlist on BBC6, and became the first new act to sign to Trojan Records in 30 years. Their collective nature saw them work with members of The Specials, Madness, Steel Pulse, Style Council, Galliano, Kasabian, Mad Professor, Toots & The Maytals, Jimmy Cliff to name a few.
