Early B : Immortal

During the early 1980s, stylistic dancehall toaster Earlando Neil became Early B chatting on the sound systems Soul Imperial Hi-Fi and King Majesty, consolidating his reputation on the mighty Kilimanjaro. Scoring many hits before his untimely death in 1994, the posthumous compilation 'Immortal' was compiled by Ossie Thomas, the producer of some of Early B's greatest work; highlights include the smash hit 'Gateman Get Fraid,' the desultory 'Imitator,' the sadly prescient 'If You A Coward Leave Out Badness' and the salutary 'Honourable Nesta Marley.' Highlighting Early B's lyrical prowess, 'Immortal' lives up to its title for sure.SIDE 1:1. Imitator2. Gateman Get Fraid3. What A Drive4. If You Coward Leave Out The Badness5. No Funny Trick6.

Gray, Owen : Fire and bullets

Fully licensed, 140gr vinyl. Reissued for the first time on vinyl, an amazing showcase of roots and reggae lovers, originally released on Trojan in 1977. Although his place as a reggae pioneer cannot be questioned, Owen Gray has felt for many years that he never got his due from Jamaica, his homeland. On August 6 2023, the government finally recognized his contribution awarding him with the honor of Order Of Distinction, Jamaica's sixth-highest honour. Gray, now 87, is ecstatic about what he considers an overdue and deserved reward. In the rocksteady era, he recorded for producer Sir Clancy Collins AKA Sir Collins. His popularity continued throughout the 1960s, working with producers such as Clement Dodd, Prince Buster, Sydney Crooks, Arthur "Duke" Reid, Leslie Kong, and Clancy Eccles, including work as a duo with Millie Small, with songs ranging from ska to ballads. He continued to record regularly, having a big hit in 1968 with 'Cupid.' His 1970 track 'Apollo 12' found favour with the early skinheads, and in 1972 he returned to Island Records, recording reggae versions of The Rolling Stones' 'Tumblin' Dice' and John Lennon's 'Jealous Guy,' although they met with little success. During this period, he regularly had releases on Pama and Pioneer Internacional label, Camel Records, and one single on Hot Lead Records. He had greater success in Jamaica, however, with 'Hail The Man,' a tribute to Emperor Haile Selassie, which was popular with the increasing Rastafari following.

Interrupters : Say it out loud (us version)

Isaacs, Gregory : One man against the world

Nine of these songs originally saw the light of day in 1988,released on Tappa Zukie's Tappa Records, initially called'Red'. The additional material was also produced by Mr Zukiearound the same time. The title track of this release seems tosuit Mr Isaacs stance perfectly. It's a great set of songsworked by two of the great names in reggae.

Isaacs, Gregory : Rat patrol

Isaacs, Gregory : I am gregory

Isaacs, Gregory : New dance

One of the most popular and high profile of Jamaican reggae vocalists, Gregory Isaacs was a rough diamond who clawed his way out of the harsh western Kingston ghetto with an instantly recognisable voice that was wonderfully emotive, expressing both his toughness and determination for betterment, as well as the bleeding heart of a vulnerable lover. 'New Dance' is one of the excellent mid-1990s dancehall albums expertly produced by Anthony Dehaney, alias Bunny Gemini, working as usual with the Firehouse Crew, this time with Fatman Thompson of King Tubby's studio at the mixing desk and guitarist Lascelles Beckford of the Gifted Roots band as special guest. As usual, Gregory rides the rhythms with considerable aplomb, feeling completely natural atop the hard-edged rhythms and tackling a range of topics along the way. Much of the album deals with love lost, love gained, and love deferred; 'Say A Special Prayer' revamps the evergreen 'Send Me The Pillow That You Dream On' and 'New Dance' salutes the allure of dancehall music in the open air. This is one of Mr Isaacs' better offerings from the mid-1990s, worth getting to know if you're not already familiar with it, and a must-have if you've worn out your original copy.SIDE 1:1. Nobody Knows2. Say A Special Prayer3. For A Matter Of Time4. New Dance5. Don't Distress6. Lovely LadySIDE 2:1. Too Late Gonna Be Your Cry2. It's All In The Game3. Who Have Eyes4. Temperamental Lover5. Too Late To Cry6. Looking For A Love

Isaacs, Gregory : In Person

Jah Stitch : Dread inna jamdown

Jah Thomas : Dance hall connection

Deejay Jah Thomas was one of the creative figures making a dramatic impact on the Kingston sound system scene of the late 1970s and early 1980s, the rhythms he laid at Channel One studio with the Roots Radics helping to steer reggae towards the emerging dancehall style. Voicing and mixing his work at King Tubby's studio, typically with the young upstart engineer known as Scientist, Thomas got his start as a quick-witted deejay in the vibrant sound system scene of western Kingston, making his recording debut in 1976 with 'Midnight Rock,' a hit that became the name of his record label, once he shifted to producing his own work. 'Dance Hall Connection,' which first surfaced in 1983, is easily one of his best LPs, Thomas ably riding the rough Radics rhythms with style. The title track is a variant of the 'Boneman Connection' theme that references dancehall's grounding in sound system culture, 'Friday Night Jamboree' salutes the music's potent allure on a top cut of the 'Entertainment' rhythm, and 'Let Him In' implores the gateman to allow an impoverished dreadlocks into the dance; 'Nigger Skank' warns against wrongdoers, 'Joker Smoker' pokes fun at those who can't handle their herb, and 'Living In Jamaica' describes various aspects of lifestyle on the island. Elsewhere, Thomas enters boasting territory on 'Cool Profile,' disses combative women on 'Jealous,' recounts his girlfriend's dubious antics on 'Gal A Laugh' and implores another not to forget him once she emigrates. Flash it, Jah Thomas! This is musical murder!

Jah Thomas : Dub of dubs

Nkrumah "Jah" Thomas hails from Kingston in Jamaica and was a DJ and producer who came to fame in the 1970s, during the gene's heyday. He set up his own labels Midnight Rock and Nura and this dub album catches him at the peak of his powers. There is plenty of air and room in each of these tracks, meaning you get drawn right in and left to marvel at the horns, the glistening bells and the rich, endless echo. It's one for the head as much as anything else and provides endless hours of smoking soundtrack material.

Johnson, Linton Kwesi : Forces of victory

Kalbata : Vanrock

Fortuna boss Kalbata joins forces with five-piece band Tigris, creating a mesmerizing percussion-led album inspired by African and Caribbean traditions. Repetitive guitars, blissful synthesizers, and roaring voodoo drums set the tone across this extra-trippy, six-track journey. Techno and Balearic undertones remind us of Kalbata's wide musical spectrum, ranging from very dark to luminous tropical sunlight.

Kalbata / Mixmonster : Congo Beat the Drum

Keith & Tex : Same old story

The 2017 album by Jamaican rocksteady icons Keith & Tex is composed exclusively with original material, maintaining the rocksteady essence the duet was known for during the golden period from 1967 to 1969.

Keith & Tex : Redux

Born in the rocksteady era, Keith & Tex made their mark with a slew of hits and classics that have lasted over 50 years. From their haunting rendition of 'Hypnotic Eyes' to the iconic guitar intro and solo of Lynn Taitt on 'Stop That Train', the listener has been treated to a unique style that still lives on after five decades.

Kelly, Pat : Better get ready

Pat Kelly out of all the Jamaican singers was influenced most by the voice of American soul singer Sam Cooke. As were indeed many of the singers from that time, few however could carry out this daunting task as well as Pat Kelly. His delivery was perfect and so was his ability to carry any song that came his way. Pat Kelly (born 1949, Kingston, Jamaica) began his singing career in 1967 when he replaced Slim Smith as lead singer of The Techniques, his voice working so well with the impeccable harmonies of Winston Riley and Bruce Ruffin. Their first hit for the mighty Duke Reid stable was a version of Curtis Mayfield's tune 'You'll Want Me Back' retitled 'You Don't Care' which held the Number 1 slot in Jamaica for the six weeks. For this release Kingston Sounds have focused on material that Mr. Kelly had recorded with legendary Jamaican prodcer Bunny 'Striker' Lee. A match made in heaven and one that produced some of their finest work.
