The first and foremost exponent of the ‘singjay’ style, Eek A Mouse, has
carried all before him over the past thirty years busily blurring the
distinctions between roots, dancehall and crossover reggae. Eek-ology
collects up a number of rare and in-demand non-album sides including the
early self produced ‘Ripton Hylton’ recordings along with the Joe Gibbs
sessions where he first unveiled his brand new Eek-A-Mouse style.
Mouse’s long and successful partnership with producer Junjo Lawes is
represented by the non-album ‘For Hire And Removal’ and tracks like
‘Rude Boys A Foreign’ recorded for Gussie Clarke and ‘Taller Than King
Kong’ for King Jammy still ram the dance today!
The Jamaican dub pioneer Lee “Scratch” Perry had the ability to
attract some of the best musicians around to indulge in their fantasies.
He knew how to draw the best out of those who wandered by their
studios. The 1989 compilation album Open The Gate is a
collection of the 12” versions Lee Perry did in the late Black Ark
period. For the recordings, he gathered some of the best singers of the
island, including Anthony “Sangie” Davis, The Heptones, Leroy Sibbles,
The Diamonds, The Congos, Junior Murvin and of course Perry's studio
band The Upsetters amongst others.
The 3LP Open The Gate is available as a limited edition of
2500 individually numbered copies on orange coloured vinyl and includes 3
printed innersleeves.
The Bob Andy catalogue is one of the most celebrated in the history of
Jamaican music. His touchstone LP from Studio One is a best-selling
singles compilation simply entitled Song Book, a cornerstone of the
Studio One catalogue. Nine of 12 tracks recorded for this project
appeared on Song Book. Bob Andy's works have been covered dozens of
times."Tarrus Riley "Desperate Lover"; Bitty McLean "Let Them Say";
Beres Hammond "I've Got To Go Back Home," Olaf Blackwood "You Don't
Know".

The Lost Albums In Jamaican Bass Player, Bandleader, Songwriter, Singer And Producer Boris Gardiner'sDiscography - First Official Issue Of These Impossibly Rare Albums.Contains
Extensive Booklet, With Jeff Mao Detailing Gardiner's Career And The
70s Jamaican Music Industry. Unpublished Photos And Ephemera.1970s
Jamaica suffered an unprecedented stretch of political turmoil and
violence, and as the country’s economy and morale collapsed, reggae and
its offshoots exploded worldwide. Boris Gardiner enjoyed great success
leading bands, issuing albums that mixed reggae, ska, soul and funk, and
collaborating with the likes of Lee (Scratch) Perry and Herman Chin-Loy
in their legendary studios and playing on hundreds of records. So many
that he lost count. Sometime around the issue of his Boris Gardiner
Happening Is What’s Happening album - a Loft classic, with David Mancuso
favoring Gardiner’s take of Booker T. and the MG’s “Melting Pot” at his
legendary gathering - and his soundtrack to Every N----r Is A Star,
famously sampled by Kendrick Lamar and used as the introduction to the
film Moonlight, two albums - Ultra Super Dub Vols. 1 and 2 - credited to
The Boris Gardiner Happening - two albums so obscure that for the
longest time Boris wasn’t even aware that they existed. Following
classics such as King Tubby’s Dub From the Roots and Augustus Pablo’s
King Tubbys Meets Rockers Uptown, Miami-based Alty East’s Ultra Records
took instrumentals Gardiner created for a run of 45s, and created and
issued these compilations of dubbed out originals and JA renditions of
songs by Otis Redding, Clarence Carter, Betty Wright, Jimmy “Bo” Horne
and Ultra label-mate Frankie Zhivago Young. Released in tiny runs in
handmade, silkscreened, paste-on covers, they have become some of the
most sought after Jamaican albums. Now, issued under Boris’ guidance,
and with a detailed booklet by Jeff Mao, which delves into the deep
scene which birthed these remarkable records, we can finally consider
the last, unheard portion of this landmark musician’s career.

Top-Sampler mit A-Sides, Dubs und seltenen Dubplate-Mixen aus der
stärksten Phase der legendären Reggaeband Black Uhuru, 1977-80,
produziert von Sly & Robbie und erschienen auf deren Label TAXI.
Neben Hymnen wie 'Abortion' und 'Guess Who's Coming To Dinner' enthält
die 2LP außerhalb Jamaikas bisher unveröffentlichte Cover von Bob Marley
('Sun Is Shining'), Dawn Penn ('No No No') und 5th Dimension
('Aquarius'). Black Uhuru und Sly & Robbie eroberten 1977 die
Reggaeszene im Sturm, als dem Genre die Luft auszugehen drohte. Sie
waren Jamaikas Antwort auf die Punks, die im selben Jahr die etablierten
Codes der Musikindustrie sprengten. TAXI TRAX ist eine perfekte
Einführung in diese Formation, die die jamaikanische Musik mit neuer
Härte und Experimentierfreudigkeit revolutionierte. Schwarzes
Doppelvinyl im Gatefold samt Interviews des Reggae-Experten Noel Hawkes
mit Sly und Black Uhuru sowie Fotos von Adrian Boot.

50th anniversary reissue of the legendary 1972 album by Count Ossie
& The Mystic Revelation Of Rastafari. Limited deluxe boxset contains
3xLP, 7 inch single, download code, art print and magazine.
Like Sun Ra's Arkestra and John Coltrane are to jazz, the Mystic
Revelation of Rastafari are to reggae - the ultimate expression of roots
music and Rastafarian ideology in reggae music, music functioning at a
high level of spiritual consciousness combined with an equally
avant-garde and forward-looking approach to sound. The group's stunning,
unique and groundbreaking 1973 album 'Grounation', a mighty conceptual
triplealbum (the first ever reggae triple!) is, similar to Marvin Gaye's
'What's Goin' On', a definitive allencompassing cultural statement of
its time and place. A sprawling album of raw and unique cultural
expression that combined Rastafari consciousness with deep spiritual
jazz music - an absolute and essential classic of Reggae music. The
Mystic Revelation of Rastafari group came into existence at the start of
1970s, the union of two artists (and groups) of equal repute - Count
Ossie and his African Drums and saxophonist Cedric 'Im' Brooks' and his
group, The Mystics. Both Ossie and Brooks were alumni from the great
Studio One Records. [info sheet from distr.]
RSD 2022 Soul Jazz Records Presents/Various - 100% Dynamite! – Yellow Colored
new one-off limited-edition special edition yellow coloured
vinyl pressing of Soul Jazz Records’ seminal reggae meets funk and soul
collection.
100% Dynamite explores the links between Reggae, Jazz, Funk and Soul.
The album is jam-packed with Reggae tunes that have crossed-over and
become cult dancefloor hits in clubland such as >Greedy G<,
>Rocksteady< and >Granny Scratch Scratch<. Fourteen tracks
of music that show the influence that American Jazz, Funk and Soul music
has had on Jamaican Reggae. The proximity of the West Indies to the USA
meant that many Jamaican musicians would continue to be influenced by
American styles of music whilst at the same time continuing to define
new styles of their own such as Ska, Rocksteady and Dub.

Was Sun Ra's Arkestra und John Coltrane für den Jazz sind, sind die
Mystic Revelation of Rastafari für den Reggae - der ultimative Ausdruck
von Roots-Musik und Rastafari-Ideologie in der Reggae-Musik, einer
Musik, die auf einem hohen Niveau spirituellen Bewusstseins
funktioniert, kombiniert mit einem ebenso avantgardistischen und
zukunftsweisenden Ansatz für den Sound. Das atemberaubende, einzigartige
und bahnbrechende Album »Grounation« von 1973, ein mächtiges
konzeptionelles Triple-Album (das erste Reggae-Triple überhaupt!), ist,
ähnlich wie Marvin Gayes »What's Goin' On«, ein definitives,
allumfassendes kulturelles Statement seiner Zeit und seines Ortes.
Ein ausuferndes Album mit rauem und einzigartigem kulturellem Ausdruck,
das Rastafari-Bewusstsein mit tief spiritueller Jazzmusik verbindet -
ein absoluter und unverzichtbarer Klassiker der Reggae-Musik. Die Gruppe
Mystic Revelation of Rastafari entstand Anfang der 1970er Jahre als
Zusammenschluss zweier Künstler (und Gruppen) von gleichem Ruf - Count
Ossie und seine African Drums und Saxophonist Cedric »Im« Brooks und
seine Gruppe The Mystics. Sowohl Ossie als auch Brooks waren ehemalige
Mitglieder des großen Studio One Records.

Upsetter Ark-Ive)
Limited Edition Deluxe-Box-Set mit 112 Tracks auf 4xLP's + 4x CD's +
50-seitiges Buch & Poster!
Lee »Scratch« Perry, der wohl größte jamaikanische Plattenproduzent
aller Zeiten, war in den sechziger und siebziger Jahren maßgeblich daran
beteiligt, den nationalen Sound der Insel zu verändern, indem er mit
seiner einzigartigen Herangehensweise an das Musikmachen die Musik über
die zuvor wahrgenommenen Grenzen hinausführte. Anlässlich des ersten
Jahrestages seines Todes wird das Beste aus seinem Schaffen in einer
Reihe von Produkten präsentiert, die alle eindrucksvoll zeigen, warum
Perry so lange eine weithin verehrte Persönlichkeit war.
Das Deluxe-Box-Set umfasst vier Vinyl-LPs und vier CD-Sets mit seinen
bekanntesten und einflussreichsten Aufnahmen, darunter ein bisher
unveröffentlichter Mix von Junior Murvins kraftvollem »Police And
Thieves«, dem britischen Chart-Hit »Hurt So Good« von Susan Cadogan und
dem Reggae-Klassiker »Return Of Django« von den Upsetters sowie
zahlreiche große jamaikanische Hits. Das Set enthält ein 50-seitiges,
vollständig illustriertes Buch aus der Feder von Scratchs offiziellem
Biographen David Katz mit einer Reihe von Fotos des berühmten Fotografen
Adrian Boot sowie ein neu gestaltetes, zweiseitiges Farbposter im
Format 24" x 24".
Arguably the greatest Jamaican record producer of all time, Lee
"Scratch" Perry was instrumental in transforming the island's national
sound throughout the sixties and seventies with his unique approach to
music making, pushing the music beyond previously
perceived boundaries.
To mark the first anniversary of his passing, the very best of his
work is showcased across a number of products, all of which effectively
demonstrate why Perry was a widely venerated figure for so long.
The 2x gatefold LP set collection focuses upon the legendary music
maker's best-known productions from the sixties and seventies, performed
by some of the giants of Jamaican music, with both extensive notes on
the man whose talent and imagination took
reggae to new heights of excellence.
