Limited deluxe double vinyl edition of Addis Records latest 2 album project : Rebels with a Cause & Jamaica by Bus!

Rico started his career in the late 1950’s playing with the likes of Prince Buster, Laurel Aitken and Max Romeo as a session musician in addition to creating his own recordings. He moved to the UK in the early 60’s and continued performing live and playing as a session musician. He signed to Island Records in the 70’s, releasing his first solo albums. In 1979 Rico met Jerry Dammers and began playing with The Specials. He became an honorary member of the band and featured prominently on some of their most famous tracks, along with Dick Cuthell, which produced a distinctive sound. In 1980 he released his first album for the 2 Tone label, That Man is Forward. Jama Rico was the second album released on 2 Tone Records in 1982. This album felt like a celebration of Jamaican musicians - Jama Rico was an altogether different beast. This was a more resolute statement, more African in its rhythms and a hidden treasure within the 2 Tone label. This time the recording sessions were split between Joe Gibbs studio in Jamaica and sessions at London’s Town House Studios. The Jamaican sessions again were produced by Dick Cuthell and comprised of musician friends Sly Dunbar, Robbie Shakespeare, Headley Bennett, and Ansel Collins. The London sessions, produced by Dick and Jerry Dammers, featured Specials John Bradbury and Horace Panter, along with Tony Utah and Satch Dixon. This new remaster, originally released in May 1982, is a part of the ongoing 2 Tone ‘40th Anniversary’ releases. The package is a 3mm Spined Sleeve, 180gm Heavyweight Black Vinyl, printed inner and bellyband.

A Matter Of Time is the follow-up to reggae superstar Protoje's critically acclaimed 2015 full-length, Ancient Future. Always positive and politically conscious, A Matter Of Time sees Protoje again working with producer Winta James and includes two new collaborations with Chronixx, as well as recently released hit singles "Blood Money", "Truth & Rights" and "Bout Noon".

DJ and producer Walshy Fire (real name Leighton Paul Walsh and member of Major Lazer and Black Chiney)) raids the VP / Greensleeves Records vaults to create a Riddimentary Selection of Dancehall-Reggae hits and personal favourites, for this vinyl LP collection of fully re-mastered, full-length tracks! - These are foundation tracks for anyone who grew up in the 1980s and 90s and a great way to get these hits on a limited press vinyl package.

From the vaults of Studio One comes an eclectic grouping of rare shots picked from the treasure chest of the label's releases. Here album tracks by Willie Williams, Lennie Hibbert and Freddie McGregor are joined by rarer releases by the Conquerors, Cool Operator, Roy Richards and the Freedom Singers. Also included are alternate versions of songs like "All the Way" and "Jah Light" as well as "Pirates Choice" that have circulated among Studio One collectors for some years. All tracks are taken from their original master tapes and completely remastered by GRAMMY-winning engineer Toby Mountain

Conceived and produced by Luciano Cantone, co-founder of Schema Records, and written by Alex Puddu, The Afro Soul Prophecy is a musical project that stands out of time and trends and that finally releases a full-length after some 2017 singles/Ep's. "Heat in the City" is an almost completely instrumental black funk music-based album, that often indulges in afrobeat, latin, disco and urban blaxploitation music. The multi-ethnic nature of this project ensures a multi-faceted work, where the music language has been able to unite musicians from all over the world.

50's Jamaican mento at its best, reissue of a double 10 inch album into one solid disc. Happy and delightful Jamaican mento played by local jazz musicians, recorded in the golden age of 78rpm SP singles.

Legendary UK Reggae artist Winston Reedy comes with a double LP of brand new material, recorded with a live band at the Room In The Sky studio, South London. Top quality players including Studio One veteran trombonist Vin Gordon. Keeping the Studio One link alive, O'Neil Nanco who did the front cover, is the man behind many of Coxsone Dodds best album covers plus Burning Spear, The Wailers Etc. Winston Reedy was the lead singer for The Cimarons; hugely popular in the 1970s and 80s, they had albums on Trojan and Polydor, and were the first reggae band to play Japan. In 1984 the band was honoured with a blue plaque for services to the music industry. Winston also had 8 number one singles in the 80s on the official reggae chart as a solo artist

Released on 26 July 2019, ‘Sock It To Me’ comprises some of the rarest and most collectable tracks from the Trojan catalogue, the majority of which have remained unavailable for half a century. Forming part of Trojan’s ongoing Spirit of 69 campaign, the tracks on both formats all originally saw issue either in the UK or Jamaica in 1969 – the year reggae and the skinhead look went mainstream! Presented in a stylish retro-looking sleeve, with the LP pressed on high quality vinyl, the collection is a must for all hardcore boss reggae fans and anyone who likes their music carry a punch!

Heavy Dubwise 2015 double LP release on White Vinyl!

2006 album from Bernie Man on double vinyl LP.

Classic 1980 collection of Reggae Rockers from Augustus Pablo. Melodica masterpieces, deep dubs and classic vocal sides from the likes of Delroy Williams, Earl Sixteen, Te-Track etc. all built on Augustus Pablo signature rock solid drum and bass foundations.

The release of 'Rising Son' in 1986 on Message (Jamaica) &  Greensleeves (UK) began a new era for Augustus Pablo edging his Rockers revolution into the digital age. In his own words Rising Sun 'mixed-up the vibes a little more' from steppers like, 'Pipers of Zion', revival reggae, 'African Frontline' and the deep and heavy 'The Day Before the Riot'.

New 2020 Vinyl Reissue On Greensleeves Records!

With the release of Rockers Come East in 1987 Augustus Pablo continued to 'mix up the vibes a little more'. Featuring digi-dubs to Junior Delagado’s hits Raggamuffin Year and Call Me, steppers like Sun Ray Dub and the deep and heavy Zion Seals Dub the album continued Pablo's journey into a revolutionary new age. Recorded at HC&F, Creative Sound and Tuff Gong studios, engineered by Philip Smart and Michael Carroll, here's another great longplayer re-issued with the Greensleeves seal of quality.

Originally released in 1980. This is a remaster of Scientist vs. Prince Jammy - Big Showdown with the tracks on LP 2 being the corresponding vocal cuts to the dub versions on LP 1. On this release the original producer (Henry 'Junjo' Lawes) is listed as the artist 'presenting' this 2LP set. Therefore, this release contains blatantly revisionist artwork. Both Scientist and Prince Jammy are removed from the title, while Scientist is made unrecognizable on the front cover. Moreover, the artwork by Tony McDermott is not credited on the cover (though mentioned in the liner notes of the CD issue Junjo* - Big Showdown). Greensleeves Dub Classic Remastered with bonus Vinyl of Original Vocal Cuts. Also Includes: Giant Cover Poster

Following on from two hugely successful debut albums (One Step Beyond and Absolutely, both #2 in the UK album charts upon the respective releases), 7 is Madness’ third studio album. Originally released in 1981 and reaching #5 in the UK album charts, it is now subject to a brand new re-release on 180g black vinyl as part of an ongoing reissue campaign. Featuring exclusive liner notes by journalist Stevie Chick (Mojo, The Guardian and NME) and interviews with saxophonist Lee ‘Kix’ Thompson and keyboard-player Mike Barson. It features the hit singles Grey Day [UK #4], Cardiac Arrest [UK #14], and Shut Up [UK #7].

The term "Guitar Hero" is bandied about loosely these days. Seems like all you have to do is look good holding the thing and you qualify. But if you ask the actual guitar heroes - like Brian May, Jeff Beck, and Eric Clapton - who Their Guitar Heroes are, Steve Cropper is definitely on the shortlist. If all he had done were the records with Otis Redding that would be enough, but shortly thereafter he was leaving his fingerprints on records by Wilson Pickett, Sam and Dave, Johnny Taylor, Albert King, and virtually anybody worthy who came within earshot of Memphis. He was a Guitarist's Guitarist, and a Songwriter's Songwriter. Fire It Up is Steve Cropper's first album of new Soul / R&B material in 10 years. The album was produced by Steve and Jon Tiven.

Fixtape includes a star-studded lineup, such as the Nineteen85-produced track Twist and Turn featuring Drake and PartyNextDoor. Additional guest appearances include French Montana, Preme, Masicka, Stylo G, Dane Ray, Frahcess One, Tommy Lee, and Jada Kingdom. Fixtape continues Popcaan's historic narrative as one of the most prominent global superstars in the reggae space today. It is also the follow-up to his Vanquish mixtape, which was released after it was announced that he had signed to OVO Sound. The 19-track body of work is powered by Popcaan’s potent energy, lyrics, and unique amalgam of genres from hip-hop to dancehall and pop. Fixtape is further proof that his cultural appeal spans from the streets to the club.

Coils is the latest offering from Santa Ana, CA native Evan Geesman. Fresh from the success of his previous digital-only release Lengua, with co-signs from Bandcamp's Head Curator Andrew Jervis and Osunlade, his new work finds him delving deeper into his production palette interspersed with his songwriter's aesthetic, resulting in a decidedly denser sonic soundscape than its predecessor. Born and raised in Santa Ana, CA Evan Geesman has been writing and recording songs since his early teens. From folk songs recorded on a 4 track in his parents' garage to recent collaborations with local electronic beat collective GRN+GLD, Evan's unique and prolific musical output have established him as both a singer songwriter and electronic/new beat producer. While Evan's previous material crossed several genres and had more of an experimental bent with influences varying from Aphex Twin, Wu-Tang, Mahavishnu Orchestra and world folk music, Coils represents a natural synthesis of his beat heavy electronic compositions and strong songwriting sensibilities. Many of the songs recorded over the last year began as guitar compositions, which were then painstakingly recreated electronically, building layers of arrangements consisting of electronic instruments, field recordings and his own vocals over an acoustic foundation. When asked to describe the album's underlying theme, he cites how suffocating life in the modern world can be with the internet, TV, technology and the increasingly overwhelming speed of communication. Using music as a medium to convey this accurate yet unfortunate depiction of living in modernity, Coils doesn't succumb to the dourness, it finds a way to remind those who listen that life can be softer.

All Hail The Mighty Sceptres! boldly announces the arrival of the band and is also the rightful title of their debut album. Nick Radford and Angeline Morrison have crafted an extraordinary collection of songs showcasing their love of all things "Soul", from funk, R&B, jazz, and doo-wop with just a bit of rock, all informed by the sound and attitude of the '60s. Already accomplished artists in their own right and having been guests on each others records, the "magic" between Nick and Angeline is fully manifested in "The Mighty Sceptres" as Angeline describes it,"The collaborative element of 'All Hail The Mighty Sceptres' has been really inspiring. Nick and I have had the chance to focus together on writing and arranging, and though we've co-written many songs previously, this was a new level of freedom and responsibility for us." Getting the "right sound", from the writing through to the recording, engineering, production, mixing and mastering, is of paramount importance to the music of The Mighty Sceptres. By enlisting the help of Chris Pedley (The Baker Brothers) as a producer who in turn brought in Benedic Lamdin (Nostalgia 77) to help him with the final mix of the album, they were able to achieve just that. According to Nick "I think we were all on the same page as far as 'the sound' we were after was concerned, coming from a similar place musically. From the recording (where Kryzsystof Oktalski helped out with signal chains and mic'ing things up), mixing down to tape in the remarkably well equipped Fish Market studios (using the same MCI desk Willie Mitchell used at Hi Records, and an EMT140 plate reverb, among other equipment), through to the final mastering by the well respected Lewis Hopkin; I don't think we have ever used so much authentic equipment, never mind worked with such talent, in the creation of an album! Stand out tracks include the killer funk stomper "I Found The Letter" and the string-laden, R&B uptempo ballad "Shy As A Butterfly". .

Nobody Presents Blank Blue - Western Water Music Vol. II (2xLP) Ubiquity Records UR229, 2008-05-06 Info : Blank Blue is the surreal story of an Armageddon born out of a massive earthquake off the west coast of the United States and set sometime in the future. The quake triggers a separation of the west from the rest of the country, creating a whirlpool of devastation in its wake. Millions die. Thousands survive. Those that survive eventually sink and drown from the buckling lands, only to have scores of poison mushrooms waiting for them underneath the earth's masses, loosened from centuries old trees. The poisoned water gives them their first gasp, and miraculously they are able to and breathe and live underwater. The album tells the story from various points of views, from an all-knowing narrator, to a psychic fish that warns people via their dreams, to random characters who watch their loved ones drown or ask the others underwater how to find the ability to breathe. The confusion and sadness is balanced by the fascination of having to start everything all over again; learning how to breathe and swim etc. Tracklisting : 01. A New Design 02. Eyes Closed 03. Sonic What?! 04. All The Shallow Deep 05. Blank Blue 06. Circles in Circles 07. Faces 08. The Spectral Company 09. Ignite 10. In The Swim 11. Sea Roars Lead 12. Up

Uncut, Provocative, Decadent, Beautiful, Frenzied, Sensual. The culmination of sensory exploration. Initiates International presents you with a new collection of "Kosmiche Musiche" - a potent mix of hard rhythms, direct horns and spatial electronics. Label: Ubiquity Format: Vinyl LP Year: 2015 Genre: Soul/R&B/Funk

Baast returns with a follow-up to their cosmic jazz funk opus "Dimensions", with another set of esoteric "Kosmiche Musik" on their new offering "Bazaar." Channeling the same energy filtered through a more "worldly" vibe, the heavy focus is on polyrhythmic percussion producing a decidedly Middle Eastern flavor in a similar vein to Krautrock standouts Embryo and Passport. The brainchild of R. Scott Dibble and DJ Johnny Basil, Baast's live performances are a mix of theatrical rock, jazz improv, and extended funk sojourns once they lock into a groove. 2016 has been a coming out party of sorts for once-underground hero DJ Johnny Basil. After a 20 year hiatus from producing music, hunkering down and delving deep into his esoteric studies while amassing one of the more impressive record collections focused on library music, his ascension has been ignited by his exposure to a young and eager audience as a tour DJ for cult surf-rock crusaders The Growlers. Leaving crowds mesmerized throwing down hard Disco and Funk while exploring the groove alongside them gyrating and slithering shirtless on stage. Drawing a visually striking resemblance to Iggy Pop, and sartorially decked in '70s vintage regalia, he's inspired a write-up from Vice outlet Thump dubbing him "The Man You Wish You Were", putting him in the running as a real-life "Most Interesting Man In The World". Fresh from being named by the OC weekly staff as "Best Local Celebrity of 2016" and loaded with several new projects outside of Baast including his recently released excursion into Nu-Disco with the aptly named Basil & Rogers and Sleaze/Glam Rock outfit Kandi Jones, as well as several upcoming appearances in music videos and fashion shoots, DJ Johnny Basil's long-overdue "shine" is only destined to burn that much brighter.

Luv N'Haight is proud to re-issue Sweet Maya's self-titled album. A midwest jazz-funk classic with elements of folk, jazz, soul, funk and rock combining to create a heady blend reminiscent of '70s work by French band Cortex and songwriting maestro Terry Callier. The music of Sweet Maya is an extension of each member. As individuals they bring together diverse backgrounds, as a group they blend it all into a sound that is exciting and full of warmth. The six-piece group of multi-talented instrumentalists has five lead singers, four songwriters and four arrangers. The music that grows from the contact of such persons is evidenced in this album. It is Sweet Maya (the Illusion) that flows through and shapes the many idioms of their music. It is Rob Hayes, Tom Davis, Janice Lakers, John Chamberlin, and Mark Bowen who convey the experience. (excerpt taken from original LP liner notes)
