reissue - original from 1978.

zum 40-jährigen jubiläum wird ein klassiker des dub-reggae-genres vom masteringexperten kevin metcalfe re-mastered und auf dem vp records sublabel 17 north parade wiederveröffentlicht. im original erschien der longplayer erstmalig 1977 auf dem joe gibbs record globe label und wurde mit der joe gibbs studioband, the professionals, eingespielt - laut originalcover waren das george -fully- fulwood, carlton -santa- davis, tony chin, richard -dirty harry- hall, tommy mccook, bobby ellis und leroy -horsemouth- wallace. am mischpult saß errol thompson. hier finden sich exzellente dubversionen von riddims aus der rocksteady-Ära 1966 bis 1969 inklusive -hypocrites- von bob marley & the wailers in die neuzeit katapultiert, sowie die dubs zu den großen reggae-hits der zeit wie -uptown top ranking- von althea & donna.

reissue - miraculously rare and seriously obscure killer dubs. one of the very few hard core seventies dub albums mixed by errol brown. a selection of solid dubs originally recorded in 1978 by bb seaton at duke reid s legendary treasure isle studio and mixed in-house by the duke s nephew errol brown. a radical departure for all concerned this bold dub album was never officially released although a few clandestine copies reputedly did the new york rounds at the time. mojo by david katz - extremely rare 1978 dub album stands up against any from that era - -errol brown began engineering through family connections, producer duke reid was his uncle. trained by the highly-skilled byron smith, chief engineer at reid s treasure isle facility, brown cut his teeth mixing alton ellis, the paragons, peter tosh and marcia griffiths. -orthodox dub- dates from 1978 when bb seaton of the gaylads was working closely with brown at treasure isle, cutting tracks with ken boothe and mikey dread along with self-produced work, and although only ever issued in tiny numbers as pre-release lp in the bronx, these dubs pack a mighty punch, easily on par with any of the dub sets issued in the era by channel one or joe gibbs. outstanding tracks include -roots rockas-, a stripped down cut of boothe s -who really cares-, and -black forest rock-, a bass-heavy reading of seaton s -is life-.-

ein highlight in der -reggae anthology--serie wurde als 2lp-set neu aufgelegt. der produzent henry junjo lawes dominierte mit seinem volcano label (und auch soundsystem) von 1980-1985 von jamaika aus die welt des reggae und early dancehall! das doppel-vinyl bietet 28 tracks von den top-acts der stunde, hits und einige raritäten - seite 1 und 2 stellen die sänger vor, während die seiten 3 und 4 den deejays vorbehalten sind. das ganze mit dem gütesiegel der musiker von den roots radics und der high times band, sowie den studios channel one, harry j, joe gibbs und king tubbys studio.

the rastafarian roots reggae singer brings a majestic touch to the songs he sings, which are deeply infused with his beliefs. with a sense of reverence that only a solemn, pious man as prince alla could put into song, this collection centres on tracks recorded at lee perry-s black ark studio. having spent his early days living in rasta camps & working as a singer for joe gibbs, it was at greenwich farm that prince alla (born keith blake) crossed paths with tapper zukie who was so blown away by alla-s songs he initiated the recording sessions. this release compiles those songs & their extended versions alongside 3 classic extra cuts, -hail rastafari-, -black roses- & the sublime -royal throne room-.

lp from 1980 re release in the reggae rewind/17th north parade series - the one and only album for producer joe gibbs that jacob miller (r.i.p. 23.03.1980) did. he got known in 1974 as the main augustus pablo protegee, and became the lead singer for inner circle in their best times, he is also starring in the reggae cult movie rockers.

originally released back in 2011, lord giveth, lord taketh away, saw freddie gibbs team up with legendary east coast beat maker statik selektah. the project was recorded in a single day, with the sessions being broadcast out on u-stream. across the seven track ep, gibbs showcases his hyper technical gansta rap flow, stepping out of his comfort zone rapping over some classic nyc boom bap production. the ep features guest spots from trae the truth, smoke dza, termanology and more. omerta inc. will be bringing this collaborative project to vinyl for the first time. as well as featuring the seven tracks from the original project, the vinyl release will include two bonus tracks, crushin’ feelings and carry on featuring joey bada$$.

one of the sweetest and most idiosyncratic voices in reggae, tenor singer cornell campbell also has one of the longest-running careers of any jamaican recording artist. taken under studio one founder clement sir coxsone dodd’s wing at a very young age, cornell cut his first recordings in 1956, long before ska was even established. he remained based at studio one for many years (working as a label printer as well as a recording artist), and also voiced sides for king edwards in the ska years. he then briefly joined the sensations in rock steady and recorded at treasure isle, before moving back to studio one as leader of the eternals when reggae arrived, cutting huge hits there such as stars and queen of the mistrel, and giving early coaching to slim smith, jacob miller and bassist robbie shakespeare. joining forces with ace producer bunny striker lee in the mid-1970s brought a dramatic new surge in popularity that greatly boosted his profile overseas. the ropin lp was issued on third worlds justice subsidiary in 1980 a sub label set up to handle strikers product in the uk (though hits like mash you down and the title track had been handled in jamaica by joe gibbs). one of the albums outstanding moments is bandulu, an anti-rude boy epic voiced on the late night blues rhythm, while opening cover, just my imagination, has an uncredited toasting portion from errol scorcher.
