January 10, 2012, at 7:23 pm Sometimes it’s hard to keep up with reissues coming out, not that this is a bad thing… A week or so ago I mentioned that Dub Store had reissued a couple of 12″ singles from Frank Dowding AKA Kiddus I in December. Well a few days later they’re back with two more. Kiddus I [...] March 31, 2010, at 9:01 pm Pressure Drop are back with another instalment of their Laurel Aitken odyssey, a 28 track release called You Got Me Rockin’ an entertaining though patchy release of pre Ska R&B type sides that were all originally released between ’60 and ’64. Most tracks are UK recordings but this isn’t so bad, there is some great [...] March 27, 2010, at 11:32 pm On DanceCrasher I rarely talk about brand new music that is coming out, there are two main reasons for this; firstly others better informed than me do it alot better, and secondly, really good stuff tends to be pretty rare these days. One release that is good and looks like it’s going to be hard [...] March 22, 2010, at 9:31 pm New York’s Deadly Dragon make another foray into the now crowded digital reggae vinyl re-issue market with three sevens from New Yorks Park Heights label. Sleepy Wonder & Jango – Fade Away/Version Lilly Melody – Give Me Some Of Your Loving/Version Nuthead Irie – Tenement Yard/Version It’s almost surprising given the amount of reissues hitting [...] March 14, 2010, at 9:36 am The last 30 of the top 100 Rocksteady tunes will be featured as individual posts on this blog. My Number One – The Paragons (Paragons Production) Back at number 48 in the list was Memories By The Score by the Paragons. My Number One was on the flip side of this on it’s original release [...] March 11, 2010, at 7:53 pm In a welcome return to the Sleng Teng theme that’s undoubtedly going to run for the next few months Gold Shop Records have just put out another three Shinehead reissue singles on the African Love iimprint. The pick of the bunch being the mighty Know How Fe Chat on … (do I really have to [...] March 10, 2010, at 11:53 pm Just as Greensleeves/VP come out with a compilation of big sides from Jammy’s pre digital days Pressure Sounds take it to another level by re-issuing the (relatively) obscure 1981 dub LP Prince Jammy Presents: Strictly Dub. Jammy produces and mixes with Sly & Robbie in the studio alongside the likes of Bobby Ellis, Deadly Headly [...] March 3, 2010, at 10:51 pm Here is the audio and some pictures of the last Rewind Mi selectah! (see below for some videclips). This was a superb night – many thanks to the guest selectors Alan McKay and Ras Digby who both put in faultless sets and made for a night that those who raved with us won’t forget in [...] February 25, 2010, at 1:12 am Kudos to Heatwave for pointing out that it’s 25 years this week since Sleng Teng was played out in a dance. The story goes that on February 23 1985 Jammy’s Super Power met Black Scorpio at Waltham Park Road, Jammy’s dropped the Sleng Teng rhythm, the crowd went wild, and the rest is history. Even [...] January 15, 2008, at 11:42 am The stage version of the classic film The Harder They Come has a four week run at the Barbican in London from 6 March this year. Along with the stage show there will be a concert on 9 March featuring Linton Kwesi Johnson, Jean Binta Breeze, Winston Francis and Dennis Bovell. There is also supposed [...] |
