    £26.99
    Keeping in the tradition of steel drum records, 55 is a journey through re-interpolations and covers with an updated approach, pushing steel pan music to uncharted territory. Flawlessly bringing previously untouched genres into the steel pan cannon ranging from underground hip hop tunes to staple funk tracks and some of all that falls in between. From the popular remake of 50 Cents 'PIMP” to the DJ sure shot cover of Faith Evan’s “Love Like This,” BRSB’s 55 is reinvigorating tunes both well known and helping to shed some light on tunes still largely undiscovered. However, some of the strongest tunes on the album are original compositions, from spaced out disco vibes on “Beetham Highway Ride” and “Port Of Spain Hustle” to the ugly face inspiring drums of “Laventille Road March.” Recorded to analog eight track tape at The Mocambo Studios in Hamburg, 55 is a gritty, punchy journey in sound drawing on music from around the world, using production aesthetics from across both eras and genres, all coming together seamlessly.

  • Liam Bailey - Zero Grace | Big Crown Records LP / CD

    Liam Bailey - Zero Grace | Big Crown Records LP / CD

    £22.99

    Zero Grace is full of freedom and love, in fact, working with Leon Michels and Big Crown Records has encouraged Liam to be himself. On album opener “Holding On ” Bailey speaks to his observations & fears when looking out at the world in front of him and also to the dedication it has taken to get on the other side of his personal trials & tribulations. “Dance With Me” is an instantly infectious two-stepper that nods to those incredible soul records that were coming out of Jamaica during the early Reggae days. Bailey steps into the dance with hopes of finding a new love and pulls us all out on the dance floor with him. “Disorder Starts At Home” is another close to the chest tune that addresses the difficulties he struggles with from his early chaotic childhood and his progress in getting past them. “Mercy Tree” is a powerhouse of Reggae Rebel Music. Bailey addresses the racial tensions that plague humanity and encourages everyone to step up and do their part to help foster equality. What starts out as a declaration of injustice turns into a call for action and an inspiration for hope.

    Bailey has managed another album that moves across genres but remains entirely cohesive. The title Zero Grace represents his uninhibited energy. He wears his heart on his sleeve, he speaks his mind without filters, and he has little concern for formalities where his ambitions are concerned. He won’t be held back ever. One thing is for sure, his talent speaks

Together, these musicians weaved together a powerful family of songs that that tell a timeless and truly unique story, a masterpiece of roots reggae.

  • Fela Kuti - Original Sufferhead LP Knitting Factory Records

    Fela Kuti - Original Sufferhead LP Knitting Factory Records

    £23.99
     This edition of ‘Original Sufferhead’ is a major
    event. With the release of ‘Box Set #5’, and now
    on this reissue, the title track of this magnificent
    album is presented in its full-length, 25 minutes, 24
    seconds glory.
     While preparing the master disc for the box set,
    Partisan engineer Jedi, Colin Young, discovered
    four minutes of ‘lost’ material on the B-side of the
    original pressing, including a superb keyboard solo
    by Fela. This had been omitted from subsequent
    reissues.
     The restored version used here starts and finishes
    with Fela’s keyboard work, a typically venturesome
    blend of futurism and visceralism.
     ‘Original Sufferhead’ was the first album Fela
    released with the name Egypt 80 (he had
    disbanded Afrika 70 in 1979).
     On the title track, arguing from the personal to the
    political, Fela describes the inhuman treatment
    and poor living conditions experienced by working
    class Nigerians, the people he called ‘sufferheads’.
     In ‘Power Show’, Fela sings about the two-tier
    system dividing Nigerian society, in which the rich
    get treated one way and the poor another.
     LP pressed on ewuro (opaque light green) vinyl
    and housed in a single sleeve jacket.
  • Fela Kuti - O.D.O.O. (Overtake Don Overtake Overtake) LP Knitting Factory Records

    Fela Kuti - O.D.O.O. (Overtake Don Overtake Overtake) LP Knitting Factory Records

    £23.99
     ‘Overtake Don Overtake Overtake’ was the
    penultimate album of newly recorded studio
    material released by Fela before he passed in
    1997.
     Like its immediate predecessor, ‘Beasts Of No
    Nation’ (also 1989), and its follow up,
    ‘Underground System’ (1992), the album finds Fela
    continuing to campaign for human rights and social
    change despite the relentless beatings, jailings
    and general harassment he had received from
    successive military regimes since the start of the
    1970s.
     LP pressed on alawọ ewe (transparent green)
    vinyl, housed in a single sleeve jacket.
  • Fela Kuti - Ikoyi Blindness LP Knitting Factory Records

    Fela Kuti - Ikoyi Blindness LP Knitting Factory Records

    £23.99
     Fela used the cover of ‘Ikoyi Blindness’ to announce
    his change of middle name from Ransome, which he
    now considered a slave name, to Anikulapo, which
    means ‘he who carries death in his pouch.’ The front
    cover shows Ransome crossed out and Anikulapo
    added above it.
     Fela also used the album cover to announce the
    Africanisation of Africa 70’s name, changing it to Afrika
    70. In the title track, Fela draws attention to the
    economic chasm separating the haves and have-nots
    of Nigerian society, contrasting the get-rich-at-all-costs
    mindset of the residents of the prosperous Lagos
    suburb Ikoyi with the more community-minded attitude
    of the poor inhabitants of the Mushin, Maroko,
    Ajegunle and Somolu neighbourhoods. Ikoyi residents
    are blind to the sufferings of less fortunate people, said
    Fela.
     Fela returns to the topic on the second track, ‘Gba Mi
    Leti Ki N’Dolowo (Slap Me Make I Get Money)’. In
    Lagos in 1975 and 1976, there had been an upsurge in
    police and military personnel assaults on people in the
    street; motorists were commonly pulled out of their
    vehicles and given a whipping for minor traffic
    offenses. Scandalously, the police and soldiers were
    being allowed to get away with corruption in broad
    daylight. In the lyric, Fela demands that the judiciary
    administer the law equally, without fear or favour.
     LP pressed on iresi (opaque white) vinyl housed in a
    single sleeve jacket.
  • Congo Natty - Jungle Revolution • 10th Anniversary Edition LP Big Dada

    Congo Natty - Jungle Revolution • 10th Anniversary Edition LP Big Dada

    £30.00
     Congo Natty aka Rebel MC has a career dating back to his early hit with Double Trouble, ‘Street Tuff’, but is probably most respected as one of the pioneers of Jungle - perhaps the first uniquely UK born bass music.
     ‘Jungle Revolution’ features Benny Page (on the straight up ragga-jungle of ‘UK Allstars’), Vital Elements (the 150bpm anthem ‘Jah Warriors’ and ‘Jungle Is I and I’), Serial Killaz (the pure roots bounce and rinse out of ‘Get Ready’) and Boyson & Crooks (creeping technoid paranoia on ‘London Dungeons’) and was mixed with Adrian Sherwood.
     The LP clearly lays out the way in which Congo Natty sees Jungle as a re-boot of roots reggae for a new century. Full of blood and fire, the sternumbuzz of sub-bass, rapid fire drum breaks, sweet hooks, righteous anger and professions of love, it’s the kind of passionate, committed, raw and spiritual, beautiful record that doesn’t come along that often.
     Originally released in June 2013, this 10th anniversary edition comprises yellow and green coloured double vinyl cased in a reflective goldsle sleeve with the same artwork as the original.
    Download code included.
     For fans of Barrington Levy, General Levy, Benny Page, Shy FX, David Rodigan, Tenor Fly.
  • Parly B - Lyrics Spree LP Scotch Bonnet

    Parly B - Lyrics Spree LP Scotch Bonnet

    £18.99
    For half a decade, Doncaster deejay Parly B has been a fixture of the UK and international sound system scene. His first album on Glasgow’s Scotch Bonnet Records, Lyrics Spree, builds on 2016’s EP 'This Is Digital’.
    Blessed with a voice as deep as Bounty Killer’s, a crowing gimmick reminiscent of the great Dennis Alcapone and a bottomless bag of verbosity, Parly is the complete microphone talker. He rides a shopping trolley load of digital rhythms by likeminded producers – including Danny T & Tradesman, Stalawa, Interrupt and Mungo’s Hi Fi – ranging from upbeat celebratory skanks to sweltering body winds.
    Tracks include the exuberant 80s vibes of the title tune, the brass-driven UK sound of You Mi A Look featuring fellow Mungo’s mic man Charlie P, and the moody reality chant Skylark. Lyrics Spree is infectious, verbally dexterous dancehall, spraying lyricism in your direction…

  • Mungo's Hi-Fi Feat. Charlie P – You See Me Star LP Scotch Bonnet

    Mungo's Hi-Fi Feat. Charlie P – You See Me Star LP Scotch Bonnet

    £19.99
    Charlie P is a raggamuffin rudeboy youth with a natural talent for music. He first appeared on stage at the age of 5 and there are some grainy youtube videos of him performing as a child. He started out singing motown and blues but reggae was in his blood since he grew up surrounded by UK-Jamaican culture. He started singing with the Goldmaster Allstars at the age of 11, but was soon drawn to soundsystems which is where he feels most at home. His uncle had been running a sound in Southend on Sea and it was his mother who encouraged him in his career.
    Charlie first came to Glasgow in 2010 for one of Mungo’s Hi Fi’s legendary nights at the Artschool. This was the beginning of their working relationship which has seen countless recording sessions and continuous touring around every corner of the globe. This album is the culmination of this ongoing relationship and brings together the best tracks across the styles that he loves, from roots reggae and dancehall to modern bass music.
    Some are surprised to see a young white guy with a Jamaican accent, but it is his musical language and Charlie is not pretending to be anything but himself - a man with a passion for good ganja and reggae dancehall.

  • Crown Jewels Vol. 3 LP Big Crown Records

    Crown Jewels Vol. 3 LP Big Crown Records

    £25.99
    Big Crown is proud to present Crown Jewels Vol. 3.

    As we are approaching seven years as a label these compilations have given us an opportunity to put the different artists on the label together on the same release. These compilations are something of a calling card for the "Big Crown Sound" where we get to put the most well established next to the newest on the roster and through that paint a picture of the overall ethos of the label. It’s been extremely satisfying for us when the fans of one Big Crown artist discover another one because they are label mates. We put out these Crown Jewels comps with the hope that it will continue that process. Even though not all BCR artists can be found in the same aisle of the record store, after listening to Crown Jewels Vol. 3, it should be clear how they all fit on the same record label. When we started Big Crown we wanted to have a label that’s only boundaries were defined by our taste, not by genre. Seven years later, we can say we have been able to do that. There is a sound, but that sound stretches into a lot of different directions, but that sound is uniquely ours. Thank you to everyone who has supported us thus far and please stay tuned as we continue pushing our sound and putting out tunes we believe in.  Limited Edition Jewel Pile Colour Vinyl!

    £22.99
    With The Return of Pachyman, García shows how the Caribbean flow is transnational, a vibe that resounds from Jamaica to San Juan to Southern California. “With this project, I was looking to make positive music and radiate good energy; something to kinda disconnect from the negative things that were happening at the moment,” Garcia explains. “I am trying to make this project a service for humanity in the sense that I just wanted to shine a positive light.”
