300% Dynamite! – Ska, Soul, Rocksteady, Funk, & Dub In Jamaica ... LP Soul Jazz (UK), Mid 60s-Mid 70s. Near Mint- 2LP ... Just Sold Out!
Incredible! This is quite possibly the best of this legendary series of Jamaican soul, funk, and reggae tracks – and it's a masterpiece! The track selection is amazing, and the set has a bit more crackle than earlier volumes – with loads of great 70s production, including nice dubby ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(1999 issue.)
Vivian Weathers —
Bad Weathers (with bonus track) ... LP Frontline/Virgin (UK), 1978. New Copy (reissue)... $24.99 33.99
An overlooked gem from the glory days of Virgin's Frontline series – a homegrown effort from UK singer Vivian Weathers – a really unique talent with a style that's very much his own! At some level, Vivian's got the warmth of the lover's rock generation, but mixes it with some of the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Desmond Dekker —
Black & Dekker ... LP Stiff (UK), 1980. Near Mint- ... $29.99
Surprisingly great later work from the legendary Desmond Dekker – a set that should have been a sloppy cash-in during the ska revival, but material that shows Desmond still very much at the top of his game! The production and backings show a bit of a late 70s British touch, but Dekker's ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Portuguese pressing. Cover has some gloss separation at the spine, partially unglued bottom seam, and yellowing from age in back.)
King Tubby —
Explosive Dub ... LP Clocktower, 1975. New Copy (reissue)... $15.99 18.98
If you're looking for a definition of dub, this album may well be it – and it's clear proof why Tubby could proudly wear the crown of a King! The set's beautifully bassy and muddy all the way through – a heady brew of bottom-level sounds – all layered wonderfully with lots and ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Hot Sauce Vol 4 – 14 Reggay Gems From The Vaults Of Trojan Records 1965 to 1975 ... LP Trojan/Harlem Shuffle (UK), Late 60s/Early 70s. New Copy ... $23.99 27.99
A heady helping of rare singles from the farther reaches of the indie scene in early reggae – labels that include Duke, Grape, Splash, High Note, Explosion, and JJ – all tiny companies that are now part of the larger Trojan Records empire! The work here is nicely varied – as many ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Ibrahim Hesnawi —
Father Of Libyan Reggae ... LP Habibi Funk (Germany), Late 70s/Early 80s. New Copy ... $23.99 26.99
One of the most unusual entries in this amazing set of releases from the Habibi Funk label – a set that's definitely what's promised in the title – in that Ibrahim Hesnawi delivers a really unique take on the sound of Kingston! The music is certainly in a rhythm that echoes ... (Global Grooves, Reggae) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Also available Father Of Libyan Reggae ... CD 14.99

Hot Sauce Vol 3 – Rocksteady, Boss Reggae, Dub, & Early Reggae 1965 to 1975 ... LP Harlem Shuffle (UK), Late 60s/Early 70s. New Copy ... $22.99 25.99
There's been plenty of great reggae collections issued over the years, but this excellent series seems to do a better job than most – in part because it bypasses the hits, and ends up pulling together some wonderful work from the wider world of the Jamaican 7" single! The tracks on here ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Bunny Wailer —
Solomonic Singles Part 1 – Tread Along 1969 to 1976 ... LP Dub Store (Japan), Late 60s/1970s. New Copy 2LP Gatefold ... $35.99 38.99
An incredible first chapter of the solo career of Bunny Wailer – material recorded during the same time as the rise of the larger Wailers trio, but which has a special sort of vibe overall – a quality that maybe even predates some of the righteous sounds that Bob Marley would give the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Various —
Aquarius Rock – The Hip Reggae World Of Herman Chin-Loy ... LP Pressure Sounds (UK), Mid 70s. New Copy 2LP ... $30.99 38.99
Excellent! You're probably familiar with the Aquarius Dub set, an early, early dub LP, featuring some great rockers from Herman Chin Loy and Augustus Pablo – this groovy set from Pressure Sounds collects many of the vocal, dee jay and instrumental tracks that those rhythms laid the base for! ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Please note – the back of the cover states that some of these recordings were remastered from original vinyl copies of the recordings, rather than master tapes, with some compromise in the quality of the sound.)
Dennis Bovell —
Decibel – More Cuts And Dubs 1976-1983 ... LP Pressure Sounds (UK), 1970s/1980s. New Copy 2LP ... $29.99
Pressure Sounds does it again, with another fine collection of mighty, mighty dub! A much needed Blackbeard retrospective collecting 16 hard to get cuts from British dubmeister Dennis Bovell, rare dubs and instrumentals, plus a couple of outstanding vocal tracks from the man at the epicenter of ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Boo & The Tru Tones —
Show The World (splatter vinyl pressing) ... LP WIRL/Not Dead Yet, 1974. New Copy (reissue)... $20.99 29.99
A very cool set from the 70s – one that's part reggae, part sweet soul, and part funky jam – all served up with a nicely mixed up vibe that really makes the whole thing shine! The group hail from Barbados, and there's some great Caribbean funk on the record at times – especially ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Tru Tones —
Power Struggle (red vinyl pressing) ... LP Not Dead Yet, 1980. New Copy (reissue)... $20.99 28.99
A set recorded in both Jamaica and Trinidad, and one that shows a great combination of both locations – with straighter reggae cuts at some points, and some more Caribbean flavored club at others! The music has some of the message that you'd guess from the cover and title, but the overall ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Bob Marley & The Wailers —
Best Of The Wailers (pink vinyl pressing) ... LP Beverley's/Culture Factory, 1971. New Copy (reissue)... $21.99 29.98
Pre-Island Records material from Bob Marley and The Wailers – and a set that really focuses on the strong harmony modes that made the group so great! Bob's lead is still wonderful, but the way the voices come together is tremendous – echoing American soul styles, but with a righteous ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
