The Don's selections cross time, space and genre and include Crucial Vinyl from Aswad.

Each week, as well as blending key new releases with classics from the UK, USA, Jamaica, Africa and beyond, Don highlights a piece of Crucial Vinyl - a cherished album from his own collection. He explains why it means so much to him and features three key tracks. This week he selects Showcase released in 1981 by London reggae band Aswad.

Don says, "If this album was released today, it'd probably be described as an E.P, running, at it does, at just over 35 minutes, and featuring only six tracks. But those six tracks are great examples of Aswad's roots reggae period, and include their dub classic Warrior Charge - well worth tracking down.".
