Deep Reggae Roots ... CD 
Konduko/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1976. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
Forget the reggae in the title, as the album's a Miami funk classic through and through – done with maybe a very slight nod to the sounds of Jamaica, but served up with all those great TK Records styles of the mid 70s! Percussion is string, instrumentation nicely offbeat, and larger ... (Soul, Reggae) read more CD
Phillip & Lloyd (Blues Busters) —
You've Got To Keep On Moving ... CD Konduko/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1978. New Copy ... $18.99 23.99
The second US album by the team of Phillip & Lloyd – much more in the Miami soul mode than their first record, cut for the Konduko subsidiary of TK with a feel that's almost Caribbean disco! The style's still got some traces of the duo's reggae roots, but the production's also more ... (Soul, Reggae) read more CD
Ernest Ranglin —
Be What You Want To Be ... CD Konduko/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1983. New Copy ... Temporarily Out Of Stock

To Love Somebody (with bonus tracks) ... CD Klik/Doctor Bird/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1975. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
Warmly wonderful early work from William Bunny Clarke – billed here under a different name, but the same singer who'd rise to great fame a few years later as Bunny Rugs in Third World! The vibe here is different than his hits with that group – more laidback and mellow, with great ... read more CD
Tradition —
Spirit Of Ecstasy (2022 Japan Record Day Release – with bonus track) ... LP 
Solid Groove/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1982. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
The final album from Tradition, and a set that's very different than some of their earlier work – but in a way that really makes the record a standout in their catalog! The group here are billed as Tradition Featuring Paul Thompson – and keyboardist Thompson is really the strongest ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Trojan/Ultra Vybe (Japan), Late 1960s/Early 1970s. New Copy ... $22.99 26.99
The soulful sound of Trojan Records, mixed superbly here by Japanese DJ Holiday – who comes across with a killer blend of cuts from the rocksteady and early reggae years! A number of tracks here are Jamaican remakes of American soul tunes, and they're mixed with originals that really echo ... read more CD
