All come with replicas [...] August 22, 2011, at 10:46 pm When Trojan announced they were producing a “The Story Of Trojan Records” box set I’d have to say I was just a little underwhelmed, after all Trojan have been producing Trojan Story compilations since 1971, what would be different this time?

There is nothing particularly strange about that, this is an indemand tune and [...] August 8, 2010, at 10:42 pm I thought it would be interesting to have a quick look at what’s been selling on ebay this last week. What was cheap, what definitely wasn’t and who got ripped off. It would be impossible to monitor every sale so if anything of note was missed then leave a comment. First up over recent months [...] February 15, 2010, at 2:39 pm A couple of articles in the Gleaner that are worth a read; a very short piece by Mel Cooke about Dennis Brown’s classic, Promised Land and a longer piece pondourously titled “Reempowering the Unsung Wailers – The importance of Peter Tosh and Bunny Livingston to Marley’s ascendancy” by Herbie Miller. The title may be long [...] February 3, 2009, at 2:40 pm Retired cricketer Derek Pringle (formerly of England and Essex) talks to the Jamaican Gleaner ahead of the England V’s West Indies series and gives them his Reggae top 10: Heart of The Congos – The Congos Soul Rebel – The Wailers Soul Revolution – The Wailers Rocking Time – Burning Spear King Tubby Meets The [...] |
