Presenting The Gladiators (with bonus tracks) ... CD Studio One, Early 70s. New Copy ... $16.99 17.99
Essential work from The Gladiators – exactly the kind of group that did so well in the early Studio One approach! The group are in a familiar mode – a Jamaican soul trio with a strong lead, and warm harmony backup – but there's also maybe a bit more of an edge going on here ... read more CD

A1 Dub (180 gram orange vinyl pressing) ... LP 
Trojan/Music On Vinyl (Netherlands), 1980. New Copy (reissue)... $24.99
Blacka Morwell serves up some massive dub here – working at Channel 1, for an obscure album on Trojan Records – but maybe coming across with some of the richness of the Island Records generation!

Dubb Everlasting (180 gram pressing) ... LP High Note/Music On Vinyl (Netherlands), 1977. New Copy (reissue)... $23.99
Dubb Everlasting is a record that might mis-spell the name of its genre, but it's also a set that strips things right down to the core, then adds a very unique touch! Errol Brown works here in the Treasure Isle studios with massive rhythms from The Revolutionaries – but in a session that ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Numbered limited edition pressing of 750 – on 180 gram orange vinyl!)

Lee Perry & The Upsetters —
Double Seven (180 gram pressing) ... LP Trojan/Music On Vinyl (Netherlands), 1973. New Copy (reissue)... $22.99
Brilliant early work from Lee Perry & The Upsetters – and an album that already shows that Perry's got a fantastic production style firmly in place! The rhythms are great – the kind of laidback, bad-stepping grooves you'd expect from The Upsetters – but there's also a special ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Two classics from The Pioneers – back to back on a single CD! First up is Long Shot – an early gem from The Pioneers, and one of the first records on the Trojan label too – the kind of head-nodding, late rocksteady sounds that made the imprint a key bridge between the scenes in ... read more CD

Now That We Found Love (Neill King 1985 rmx, Paul Hardcastle 1985 rmx)/Island (UK), 1985. Used (pic cover)... Just Sold Out!
One of the greatest reggae crossover tunes of all time!

Playing It Cool & Playing It Right ... CD Basic Replay/Joint International (Germany), 1981. Used ... Just Sold Out!
A rare side from Keith Hudson, teaming up with Bullwackie Barnes for a mighty set – two of our favorite producers in one place – and one that's been painfully hard to come by for some time. Issued originally on the Joint International imprint in the early 80s, we can't remember the ... read more CD

You could go 'round and 'round with music historians arguing whether or not this album, or Java Java Java or Aquarius Dub was the first full length dub LP, but it makes no difference to us, this is one mighty set of Perryisms, wrought in the pre-Black Ark era. There's a dozen of the Upsetter's ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

A nice little compilation of tracks by the soulful Jamaican vocal group The Mighty Diamonds!

Jr Thomas & The Volcanos —
Chin Up/
Colemine, 2018. New Copy ... Just Sold Out!
The sweet voice of Jr Thomas crackles wonderfully over the classic-styled backings by The Volcanos – together almost making for a single that feels like it was lifted from the mid 60s catalog of Studio One! "Spellbound" is nice, too – a bit more bubbling in the rhythms, but ... (Funky 45's, Reggae) read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

Essential stuff, whether you're a fan of roots reggae, Jamaican soul or the otherworldly antics of the Upsetter!
