VP, 1976. New Copy (reissue)... $16.99 17.98

Nat Birchall —
Tradition Disc In Dub – Nat Birchall Meets Al Breadwinner ... LP Ancient Archive Of Sound (UK), 2020. New Copy ... $34.99
A fantastic album in the new dub tradition that UK saxophonist Nat Birchall has been exploring – recorded modes that are very different than his spiritual jazz albums, but equally cool overall! The vibe here is maybe like some lost date recorded at King Tubby's – but with more of a ... (Jazz, Reggae) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Nat Birchall —
Upright Living – Nat Birchall Meets Al Breadwinner ... LP Ancient Archive Of Sound (UK), 2020. New Copy ... $34.99

Pipe Music (Jamaica), 1981. Near Mint- ... $6.99
Like some of the other groups that were beginning to gain notice in the late 70s and early 80s, Chalice were not only self contained and self produced, but moved easily between a more accessible style of roots and soulful lovers rock, giving them wide appeal that oddly never really extended outside ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Jimmy Cliff —
Cliff Hanger ... LP Columbia, 1985. Very Good ... $3.99
Mid 80s record from the great Jimmy Cliff. While he was in his prime in the early 70s, this much later commercial effort shows he's still got the skills to pay the bills, and we actually kind of like the sound of him singing over the glossy crossover-attempt tracks, which have that great 80s Sly ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Includes the printed inner sleeve, promo letter, and 8"x10" glossy photo of Jimmy Cliff with Robin Williams! Cover has a Grammy Winner sticker, a promo stamp, ring and edge wear, some writing in pen, and a spot of tape on the spine.)

Eddy Grant —
Killer On The Rampage ... LP Epic/Ice, 1983. Very Good+ ... Just Sold Out!
An unlikely contender to the throne of king of electro, this early 80s effort from Eddie Grant helps to prop him up there quite nicely. Heavy synth driven grooves bubble along nicely with that crisp Linn Drum sound, and though this album benefited from some wider pop appeal, there's more than a ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Like A Bolt (180 gram orange vinyl pressing) ... LP Trojan/Music On Vinyl (Netherlands), 1973. New Copy (reissue)... $22.99 26.98
One of the tightest, deepest albums ever from Jamaican singer John Holt – even if it has a slightly strange history, due to repackagings and retitling over the years!

Flesh Of My Skin Blood Of My Blood ... LP Basic Replay (Germany), 1974. New Copy (reissue)... $22.99

Federal/Dub Store (Japan), 1974. New Copy (reissue)... $19.99 22.99
Wicked guitar work from Willie Lindo – spun out here over an all-instrumental set that almost feels more like Jamaican records of the late 60s than you'd guess from the mid 70s date of the album!
