first single from the upcoming beres hammond album on limited 7 inch vinyl.

das beste von dem sänger mit der rauchig-smoothen stimme, der seit mehr als 30 jahren als solokünstler, songwriter und produzent erfolgreich ist. “can’t stop a man” präsentiert 36 ausgesuchte songs aus den jahren 1976 bis 2003 auf triple-lp im gatefold sleeve und ausführlichen liner notes & track by track-notes, geschrieben vom us-amerikanischen reggae-experten rob kenner. erstmalig in jahre 2003 parallel zum gleichnamigen 2cd-digipak set erschienen, ist dieses beres hammond porträt wieder als vinyl erhältlich. das zitat von prime entertainment zum konzert im kölner stadtgarten bringt es auf den punkt: “beres hammond beeindruckt mit seiner durch tiefes timbre geprägten, dennoch smoothen und sehr eindringlichen stimme. seine texte sind stets von einer emotionalen dichte und der wahrheit getragen, dass wir eigentlich alle nur nach liebe suchen. diese essentielle message verpackt er in große dancehall-smasher, ebenso wie in romantische balladen und in spirituelle rootsgesänge.”

all the great reggae classics by the reggae masters in a nice 3lp vinylbox.

tapper zukie after taking a little time out of the musical arena has come back with an album full of great material and has called in an a list of fellow jamaican artists to add flavour to this great set.

the old school collection is back with a new volume, dedicated to classic reggae gems.

it’s now pretty obvious that disco influence has not only been powerful in western clubs. it has also influenced musicians all around the world, and west-indies islands are no exception to the rule. indeed, at that time in the caribbean territories, local musicians and producers seized the sound of their us counterparts, and make it their own, melting-up disco, funk, and boogie (even early rap) elements with some more traditional or local styles. apart from some obvious titles which made it to the charts, very few was known on these productions until recently. from an initial pre-selection of 40 tracks, favorite recordings and waxist teamed up to narrow down the actual tracklist. with no pretention to be exhaustive, this selection represents a tiny sample of a broader ocean of quality caribbean disco/boogie tunes. favorite recordings & waxist are very happy and proud to bring back lights on some of these rare tunes.
