December 8, 2010, at 8:33 pm A tough mix of John Holt’s Ali Baba straight from an old Dubplate thanks to the mighty Deadly Dragon Sound. This tune has been played to death in it’s various incarnations over the years, I always think I should be tired of it but I’m not, quite the opposite infact and this dubplate cut is an extra special treat. September 7, 2010, at 7:10 pm I don’t usually worry too much about LP’s but an original copy of Blackboard Jungle Dub on ebay last week caught my interest. This is an extremely rare album and I wasn’t completely surprised to see it made a heafty £482 ($745.50). This is a serious wedge for any LP but doubly so for an album that never had a sleeve, with red marker pen defacing the label and described as between G+ and VG+. … continue reading… July 2, 2010, at 1:17 am Go back ten or even just five years and there was a thriving re-issue industry in the UK and further afield, companies like Blood And Fire, Soul Jazz, Heartbeat, Motion and Jamaican Gold were all busy releasing collections of vintage Jamaican music with what would now seem ridicoulous regularity.

This may not be Cooke’s greatest tune feature but it still has some great insights and is well worth checking. After the demo at his own JR Studio, Reid finished One Blood at Anchor, where Clevie played drums, Chris Meredith was on bass, Tony Asher on … continue reading… 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 Bennett and Winston Wright. The tunes are mostly classic rhythms like Shan Kai Shek, Baba Boom, Ali Baba played in … continue reading… February 10, 2010, at 12:23 pm Alongside the growing catalogue of 80’s re-releases by Deadly Dragon and the small but great Digikiller (both of which got a mention recently). There is a third New York outfit that are currently putting out late 80’s era vinyl and are slowly but surely building an impressive catalogue of releases. Gold Shop started off early last year with some 7″ from Phillip Smart and most recently have put out some fine singles on the Witty … continue reading… December 14, 2009, at 9:31 pm Screwdriver is still around, a nice update in the Jamaica Observer from the weekend. September 3, 2009, at 9:14 pm If you buy their latest release, Sound System International, direct from the Pressure Sounds website they’ll send you these three postcards of King Tubby free and gratis.
