 21st Century Vinyl: Michael Fremer's Practical Guide to Turntable Set-Up
Michael Fremer
$29.99
DVD-Sealed
|
Stereophile magazine senior contributing editor and analog expert Michael Fremer presents his almost three hour long Practical Guide to Turntable Set-Up. Fremer sets up three popular turntables from Pro-Ject, Rega and VPI. Using the hands-on phono cartridge installation techniques, tips and basic principles demonstrated with close-ups and flash animation, any turntable from the popular Technics SL-1200 to the most esoteric can be set up to perfection. Also included: an interview with famed Sterling Sound mastering engineer George Marino, and a 20 page PDF file embedded in the disc's DVD-ROM section that includes even more detailed technical descriptions and an article on record cleaning no vinyl fan should be without. Despite the seemingly dry subject matter, the disc is entertaining. There are even some laughs as Fremer once did stand up comedy (he played legendary Max's Kansas City and even opened for bands like Television and The Jam).

 Lost In Transition
Ellwood
$11.99
Vinyl LP - Sealed
|
Originally born out of lazy days that Chuck (singer of the Mad Caddies) and Todd (original drummer for the Mad Caddies) spent jamming together for fun, Ellwood organically matured into a full-fledged band with the addition of friends Dustin (Cherry Poppin' Daddies) on keys and Graham on bass.
The result of this collaboration is Lost In Transition, a nine song album that could aptly be described as a soundtrack to the long, slow, carefree days of the California summer. The synergy amongst the band members is palpable, as each track flows with a natural effortless and seamless harmony.
Lost In Transition takes the most flavorful bits of the Mad Caddies often frenetic sound and hones them into a fluid brand of reggae that immediately entrances the listener. It's a refreshingly honest album with no agenda other than to be exactly what it is: the product of four friends/musicians riding a groove and imparting their own unique perspective on the reggae/ska genre.
Track Listing:
1. The Deal
2. Walking Away
3. Sunshine Garden
4. There She Is
5. Mag Girl

 Rasta Got Soul
Buju Banton
$18.99
Vinyl LP - 2 LPs Sealed
|
Since the early 1990s, the uncompromising lyrical insights, razor sharp rhyming skills and gritty yet beguilingly melodic deejay delivery of Buju Banton has dominated Jamaican music, transcending dancehall parameters to become a universally embraced prototype for the 21st century roots reggae movement. Fourteen years after 1995Æs exalted æTil Shiloh, Buju Banton delivers the long-awaited opus Rasta Got Soul, his most musically audacious work to date. The album unites his characteristic vocals and consistently
positive messages, grounded in the tenets of Rastafari, with organic roots reggae rhythms carefully crafted by a select aggregation of Kingston, JamaicaÆs finest musicians.
ôRoots music is reggaeÆs foundation,ö explains Buju, who became a dancehall superstar by riding the latest synthesized beats with an imposing ferocity that earned him legions of loyal fans and a peerless designation as the ævoice of Jamaica.Æ ôTo me the computer stuff gets monotonous; every third production you listen to you can hear some similarity in terms of the instruments that they use, as opposed to when you listen to something live there is always something different to catch you. I aim to bring back reggaeÆs original sounds, original feeling and original consciousness through great poetry and pure live instrument.

$21.99
Vinyl LP - 2 LPs Sealed

This autumn brings the launch of a priority new series on Strut as the label takes a break from its schedule of funky compilations and moves into new studio recordings for the first time. Entitled Inspiration Information, the series brings together current artists and producers with their musical heroes for a mouth-watering one-off collaboration. The series kicks off with Detroit soul maverick Amp Fiddler in a head-to-head with reggae legends, Sly Dunbar & Robbie Shakespeare. Our manager told us about Amp, says Robbie. We heard that he used to be part of the Funkadelic set-up. We were always right into the Parlia-Funkadelic sound, recalls Sly. Their brand of funk was so different. I loved it from their first record. Me and Bootsy Collins are good friends he played on one of our albums and I always loved Motown too, ever since I was a kid. That all brought us closer to Amp and the musical groove just stuck. We hit it off from the first session.

 Strictly Dub
Prince Jammy
$15.99
Vinyl LP - Sealed
|
Lloyd James is famed for his domination of 1980's Dance-hall as 'King Jammy' û producer and Sound owner û but before his coronation Jammy was a 'Prince' and known as a producer and mixer of Dubs. Here he uses some of Kingston's A-team session players, with horn players Bobby Ellis & Deadly Headly Bennet and the drum and bass partnership û Sly Dunbar & Robbie Shakespeare û who were themselves developing their own Taxi imprint at the time. Taken from an obscure dub album that briefly surfaced in the early 1980's, Strictly Dub is rightly regarded as a minor masterpiece of Jammy's mixing style.

The Lions is a unique Jamaican-inspired outfit, the result of an impromptu recording session by members of Breakestra, Connie Price And The Keystones, Rhythm Roots All-Stars, Orgone, Sound Directions, Plant Life, Poetics, and Macy Gray, to name a few. They created grooves that went beyond the reggae spectrum by combining new and traditional rhythms, and dub mixing mastery with the global sounds of Ethiopia, Colombia, and Africa, adding a healthy dose of American-style soul, jazz, and funk. The result is an album that's both a nod to the funky exploits of reggae acts like Byron Lee And The Dragonaires and Boris Gardner, and a mash of contemporary sound stylings.

In the 70s, stars like James Brown, B.B. King, Ginger Baker, Stevie Wonder and Manu Dibango came to Lagos to visit Fela's Shrine club to hear this new and incredibly heavy thing called Afrobeat.
While playing and recording for Felas's Africa 70 (Nicholas appeared on all Fela's releases between 1971 and 1978), Mr. Addo-Nettey always had his own thing going on the side. He released Na Teef Know The Road of Teef in 1973 and is a heavy afro-funk.
Fela reportedly said: "Don't you ever, EVER play it again!" And so it was. Despite being a killer record, Na Teef Know The Road of Teef remained undercover for more than 30 years.

For more than 30 years, dub plates - exclusive, one-of-a-kind mixes for sound systems - have been a "hidden" part of reggae's history. Pressure Sounds' next release will showcase some of that hidden history, Black Ark style.
Although Lee Perry's distinctive, eccentric productions from the Black Ark stood outside of the reggae mainstream, Scratch produced many dub plates between 1973 - 1979, creating exclusive, mind-bending mixes that have never been heard since.
Sound System Scratch features 19 Black Ark dub plates as well as a treasure trove of rare photographs by Dennis Morris, archive material and sleeve notes by well-known reggaeologist Jeremy Collingwood. Although Scratch was well known for remixing some of his favourite rhythms over and over again to create several different versions, these rare dub plates will come as a revelation even to the most hardcore Scratch fans. It promises to be one of the most exciting Lee Perry collections for many years.
From the Pressure Sounds website: "The exclusive mixes showcased on this release have never been heard before outside of sound system dances. Some will be familiar through their commercial incarnations, such as 'Bucky Skank', 'History' and 'Groovy Situation', but here they have been pushed and pulled, coaxed and cajoled in hitherto unexplored and previously unimagined directions. This is music from a man coming to the end of his tether."

Working with some of the hottest young producers on the Jamaican dancehall circuit - Steven "Lenky" Marsden, Don Corleone, Renaissance Crew, and Snowcone, to name a few - Sean spent three years completing his third album "THE TRINITY". And although many of the biggest names in hip-hop wanted to work with him, Sean is proud to say that "it was all done right here in the Third World." Hence "trinity," a spiritual concept that signifies a unity of three in one. It's been said that three is a magic number, and "THE TRINITY" is definitely a blessed piece of work. Sean possesses an almost supernatural ability to create irresistible hooks that can fill up any dance floor.

Santa Barbara, California-based foursome Rebelution play a jamband-tinged blend of reggae and rock that, on the strength of just two self-releases (an EP and a full-length debut, 2007's COURAGE TO GROW), has managed to garner a devoted fan following, not to mention iTunes pick for Best Reggae Album of 2007.

 The Return Of Sound System Scratch
Lee Perry
$22.99
Vinyl LP - 2 LPs Sealed
|
Special one-off dub plate mixes and super rare 45s you can't find anywhere else. 'Long Enough' features Candy Mackenzie on lead vocal to stunning effect, a track as soulful as anything ever recorded at the Black Ark. Candy was part of the Full Experience vocal group that worked on many Lee Perry sessions. There is a fantastic unreleased melodica version of Junior Murvins' "Strong Drink," and although we can't be 100% sure, it's probably Augustus Pablo blowing melodica over the top. On an outrageous remix of "Jah Jah Ah Natty Dread," Lee Perry himself is the vocalist, sounding like a manic and possessed mixture of Little Richard and Joe Strummer.

The Clash begat Big Audio Dynamite.
Big Audio Dynamite begat Dreadzone and so it began with Greg Dread and Leo Williams (B.A.D.'s rhythm section) along with Tim Bran forming the band in 1992.
They were baptised as 'Dreadzone;' the cultural gatekeepers of the bass line.
Respecting the past and embracing the future these brothers were dealing with the right now, creating the perfect blend somewhere between the technological and the organic.
It's a sound that leaves room for the listener to put themselves in the mix and dance like nobody's watching
The Roberts/Letts & Williams compositions continued the themes and parameters laid down by B.A.D.; a cinematic break beat dub regggae soundtrack that moves the head and the feet.
Basically if you're standing still at the end of this 180 grams double audiophile vinyl, you're dead!

In the spring of 1981 a group of reggae studio musicians from Jamaica gathered in New York City under the direction of Jeremy Taylor, a music professor at NYU. The result was this album, unreleased until now. Unfortunately, weeks after directing the sessions Taylor passed away in his Paris hotel room while on a speaking tour of Europe. A final mix of the album was never made and it was never released. In early 2009, Secret Stash Records began working with the Taylor estate to finally release this album. After creating final mixes, dub versions of all the songs were also made by Secret Stash producers. Now for the first time ever, this highly sought-after album is available. Side one is all 5 classic tracks as instrumental reggae, side two is the dub versions.

 Message Music: Augustus Pablo's Digital Productions 1986-1994
Various Artists
$22.99
Vinyl LP - 2 LPs Sealed
|
In the '70s Augustus Pablo seemed to just appear, like a vision from another world. His music was ethereal, evocative, and deeply meditative, conjuring up all sorts of mystical and exotic images imbued with the dignity inherent in his Rastafarian faith. He now stands recognized as Jamaican musics best-known lead instrumentalist. Message Music hones in on Pablos instrumentals and dubs from the mid-80s to the 90s, as Pressure Sounds recognized the time for a reexamination of this slightly overlooked period of musical output.
The drum machines that Pablo was using at this time still come with all the heavyweight bass lines that he employed back in the 1970s, and his digital productions were often accompanied by heavy use of percussion and hand drums to keep the music organic and add to the feel of this spiritual music. An essential album for fans of Augustus Pablo and roots music in general, on double vinyl.

1. A Java Instrumental (Version) Augustus Pablo

$12.99
Clear Vinyl LP - Sealed

In celebration of their 10-year Anniversary, Lost Highway Records is re-releasing twenty of their most acclaimed albums including Willie Nelson's Countryman on limited edition clear vinyl.
Willie Nelson uses a variety of music styles to create his own distinctive blend of country music, a hybrid of jazz, pop, blues, rock and folk. His unique sound, which uses a relaxed, behind-the-beat singing style and gut-string guitar, and his nasal voice and jazzy, off-center phrasing, has been responsible for his wide appeal, and has made him a vital icon in country music, influencing the new country, new traditionalist, and alternative country movements of the '80s and '90s.
Willie's 2005 Lost Highway release, Countryman was ten long years in the making. It was also his first ever reggae album, beautifully merging the gospel and spirit found in both country and reggae.

New Supergroup featuring Mick Jagger, Dave Stewart, Joss Stone and A.R. Rahman
Mick Jagger has teamed up with Eurythmics founder Dave Stewart, soul singer Joss Stone, Slumdog Millionaire soundtrack composer A.R. Rahman, and reggae star Damian Marley to form a band cooperative project called SuperHeavy. This diverse and eclectic line-up who share eleven Grammy Awards between them, have been recording together in various studios around the world, with the majority of the tracks on the project laid down over three weeks in Los Angeles in early 2011. Tracks include the first single "Miracle Worker" plus "One Day One Night," "Energy," "Unbelievable," "SuperHeavy," "I Can't Take It No More," "You're Never Gonna Change" and "I Don't Mind."
It's little wonder that Stewart refers to SuperHeavy as, "A mad alchemist type experiment." Fusing the talents of one of the greatest front-men of all time, a two time Academy award winning Indian composer, a soul vocal prodigy, a three-time Grammy winning reggae star, and one of the most sought after producers in the world, you would expect the explosive results to defy categorization.
SuperHeavy came together after Jagger and Stewart considered what a band comprising of musicians from different genres would sound like. Jagger explains, "Dave really wanted to make a record with a different group of musicians, in other words, with different backgrounds of music. Instead of everyone being a rock musician, or basically a blues musician, or some other genre, he wanted to get as many genres together that would fit. I said it sounds like a good idea. I never thought it would actually happen."

 The Magical Light of Saba
Cedric Im Brooks
$20.99
Vinyl LP - 2 LPs Sealed
|
Honest Jon's reissues a compilation of works by Cedric "Im" Brooks & The Light Of Saba -- a classic, masterful compendium of '60s reggae inspired by free-jazz and African percussion.
New 2009 edition on HJR (originally released in 2003) and licensed to Astralwerks in the U.S.). This version replaces the previous edition which has been long deleted: 724358298727.
Brooks collaborated with and was inspired by Count Ossie, Hugh Masekela, Fela Kuti and the Sun Ra Arkestra.
"Pure bliss." --Kevin "The Bug" Martin
"... a compelling and eccentric mix of lopsided funk, freaky jazz and African disco, which gets through more rhythms than some people hear in a lifetime." --Time Out
"Mystical, uplifting, sensual, difficult. If you like your reggae deep and dark, with splashes of primitive funk and a real feel for roots, then this is for you." --Record Collector
"One for those who think they've heard it all." --MOJO
"It's hard not to gush with admiration when confronted with the music of Cedric Im Brooks & the Light of Saba. It's true fusion music that takes what it wants from jazz, salsa, and African traditions and bends them into a new form without ever breaking." --All Music Guide
"You aren't likely to find Jamaican music much more genre-bending than this." --All About Jazz

 Watch How The People Dancing
Various Artists
$22.99
Vinyl LP - 2 LPs Sealed
|
Double LP version, repressed. Subtitled: Unity Sounds From The London Dancehall, 1986-1989. 2002 release. Brilliant, haughty Jamaican avantâ€gardism, inspired by Jammy's Sleng Teng explosion, rearing up at a Hackney crossroads in north East London, and facing down techno, hip-hop, breakbeat and rave. Staggering, exhilarating reggae music made by soundmen on a Casio and a drum machine, in a room over Eddie Regal's record shop. Presented as a nextâ€generation companion to London Is The Place For Me, the mood is more defiant -- a Jamaican secession from London -- with themes of innerâ€city sufferation running alongside hymns to the dancehall and the herb superb. Brilliantly mastered by Moritz von Oswald from Basic Channel. "There's a whole heap of stuff that we did at that time, different even to the music, that we didn't really know what we were doing, we just done it. This feeling on the records, we did that with everything we did, it was just the vibes that we were carrying then, it was all about one massive vibe. Even with the sound, we weren't going to choose something that somebody else did, we definitely was going to choose something that somebody else didn't use. We wanted to go out there and say, Yeah, this is the wickedest thing, everyone has to know, and nobody else can't tell we no different. We pushed it that way, we carried on that way." Artists include: Selah Collins, Mikey Murka, Errol Bellot, Kenny Knots, Richie Davis, Peter Bouncer, Richie Davis, and Jack Wilson And Demon Rockers. With full color insert.

 Lagos No Shaking (Out of Stock)
Tony Allen
$22.99
Vinyl LP - 2 LPs Sealed
Temporarily out of stock
|
2LP version. The vinyl version includes an extra track and sounds even more stunning than the disc. The Honest Jon's label reissues this 2006 classic from Afrobeat co-creator and master drummer Tony Allen. The much-lauded Lagos No Shaking pays tribute to the powerful sounds and rhythms of Allen's homeland of Lagos, Nigeria, marking a return to the classic percussive stylings which harken back to his seminal contribution to Fela Kuti's Africa 70 and Egypt 80. This is the real thing -- raw and uncut, recorded in Lagos over 10 nights with a 20-piece band, including the finest musicians in the city, not least deep horn-blasting from Lekan Animashaun (Baba Ani) and Show Boy from the killer Fela line-ups, and the palm-wine veteran Fatai Rolling Dollar, who adds his throaty, commanding tones and throbbing agidigbo thumb piano to four tracks. There are the R&B sensibilities of Yinka Davies and Omololu Ogunleye; and Muritala Adisa adds touches of ewe, a form of spoken praise-singing rooted in ancient Yoruba tradition. But the key element is, of course, Allen's powerful, yet magnificently relaxed drumming, which keeps everything in perpetual rocking motion, tempering the hard funk edges of classic Afrobeat with earthier Lagosian flavors. Indeed, while the album's observations on Lagos life are aptly tough and sardonic, this is a warmer, more down-home, perhaps more humane album than anything Fela ever produced. Afro-funk, stone-classic dance music in 6-minute chunks.

 The Return Of Pipecock Jackxon
Lee Scratch Perry
$16.99
Vinyl LP - Sealed
|
Honest Jon's Records presents this vinyl reissue of the groundbreaking album, The Return Of Pipecock Jackxon, from the reggae/dub icon Lee "Scratch" Perry, originally released in 1980. The 7-song cycle is the final work from Perry to emerge from the Black Ark studio, before its permanent destruction, concluding a series of such masterworks as Super Ape, War In Babylon, Police And Thieves and Return Of The Super Ape. The album builds on the experimental sound of 1978's Roast Fish Collie Weed & Cornbread with new hybrids like the irresistible 11-minute opener "Bed Jammin," a kind of reggae observation on Marvin Gaye's "Sexual Healing," but musically richer, rawer and more abstract. Includes an insert with extensive liner notes by David Katz.

1. Bed Jammin

3. Give Thanx To Jah

 High Plains Drifter
Lee Perry and the Upsetters
$22.99
Vinyl LP - 2 LPs Sealed
|
The years 1968 to 1973 were truly extraordinary for Lee Perry: He founded his own Upsetter imprint, had UK Top 5 chart success, toured the UK and Europe, and released a staggering 280 plus singles and over a twenty albums. High Plains Drifter rides in with saddle bags of lost musical gems from these creative years.
Perrys passion for spaghetti Westerns lands right in Sergio Leone territory. With R&B influenced horns (a trademark on many of his early productions) he pushes musical boundaries, working with ex-Mento star Count Sticky, who provided jive talking inspired intros and exultations over Perrys sharp rhythms.
This album pulls together 20 undocumented Jamaican singles (and one dub plate) that beautifully showcase these influences and Perrys development as a producer. A great 2LP set of productions as strong as any of his releases on Pressure Sounds.
Track Listing:
1. Val Bennett & The Upsetters: Val Blows In
2. Count Sticky & The Upsetters: Boss
3. The Upsetters: High Plains Drifter
4. Busty Brown & The Upsetters: Its Growing

 Steel An' Skin
Steel An' Skin
$21.99
Vinyl LP - Sealed
|
First time-ever vinyl LP release of this steel pan + disco + dub material from the 1970s. This LP version consists of Steel An' Skin's 1979 debut 12" single Reggae Is Here Once Again, featuring "Afro Punk Reggae (Dub)," a fine disco-dub workout (now a worldwide dancefloor favorite), plus tracks from their 1984 album Acid Rain. Three of those tunes, 1980s modern-soul/boogie-influenced "Lady (Vocal)," "Lady (Instrumental)" and also a typical Steel An' Skin performance "Burning World" appear only on this LP version (not on previous CD version). Steel An' Skin was a unit composed of young nightclub musicians born in Ghana, Nigeria, St. Kitts, Trinidad and the UK, who once performed with Ginger Johnson's Afrikan Drummers -- a highlife band under the tutelage of the late Ginger Johnson -- and played at Johnson's Iroko Country Club in Hampstead, London. Steel An' Skin began giving concerts and workshops in London schools, expanding nationwide to prisons, psychiatric hospitals and summer festivals, including the world-famous Notting Hill Carnival. The group combined an admirably brave, open and unironic mix of musical forms with a non-cynical approach to community outreach. Ultra-positive consciousness from Afro-Caribbean London, circa 1979. Features ex-members of the legendary 20th Century Steel Band (one of Grand Master Flash's favorites) sailing Trinidad-wise over gratifyingly intricate African ritual rhythms. Strong vocals compliment reggae, funk, disco and soul influences to form a relentless groove machine. Includes an insert in English and Japanese.

180 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl LP - 3 LPs Sealed

The Third World's first superstar and arguably the most recognizable human being on the planet, reggae giant Bob Marley is celebrated in a film by award-winning director Kevin MacDonald ('One Day In September', 'State of Play', 'The Last King of Scotland', 'Touching the Void' and 'Life In a Day'). 'Marley, which tells the definitive story of the superstar who rose from the ghetto to become one of the greats of popular music before dying tragically young at the height of his fame, 'received a rapturous reception at its premiere at the Berlin Film Festival on February 12, 2012.
Bob Marley was born February 6, 1945 in rural St. Ann's Parish, Jamaica, leaving home at 14 to pursue a music career in Kingston. A naturally gifted musician and singer he recorded his first track in 1962. In '72 finding himself stranded in London with his band the Wailers he signed to Chris Blackwell's Island Records and went on to enjoy global success and to put reggae on the music map. Many of his songs - which highlighted both Jamaica's poverty and the spirituality of its people - have since become universal anthems. Bob Marley died of cancer on May 11, 1981 at the age of 36.
Says Kevin MacDonald, "Marley the film is an intimate, human portrait of the legendary singer. But as with any film about an artist - the main purpose has got to be to send the listener back to the music with a renewed appreciation for its beauty and significance. That's why I am so happy that Island are releasing this special collection of songs from and inspired by the movie."
Says Chris Blackwell, "Kevin MacDonald has made a wonderful film about Marley. I think it will touch the hearts of many. It tells Bob's story properly for the first time and you get a real sense of the man and his incredible talent. His spiritual message is as relevant now as it ever was and his music still resonates around the world."
The soundtrack to "Marley" includes, for the first time on record, the 1978 One Love Peace concert performance of 'Jammin' during which Marley joined the hands of bitter political rivals Michael Manley and Edward Seaga, a gesture which went some way towards restoring peace to a strife-torn Jamaica.

 Peace Of Mind (Acoustic)
Rebelution
$15.99
Vinyl LP - Sealed
|
In early-2012, the Santa Barbara, CA-based band Rebelution released Peace of Mind through their own label 87 Music in partnership with Controlled Substance Sound Labs. Peace of Mind was released as a multi-length triple album which included the original Peace Of Mind album along with the Peace of Mind: Acoustic and Peace of Mind: Dub versions.
Marking the highest chart debut of Rebelution’s career, Peace of Mind debuted at #13 on the Billboard Top 200, #1 Reggae and #1 Independent albums as well as #4 on the iTunes overall album chart. The band previously had four top 10 albums on the Reggae chart and their 2009 release Bright Side of Life debuted at #54 on the Top 200 and #1 Reggae.
Peace of Mind marks the first time Rebelution has expanded beyond their usual self-production enlisting producers Michael Goldwasser (Easy Star All-Stars), Amp Live (Zion-I), Yeti Beats (Kool Keith, George Clinton), Keith Armstrong and Errol Brown (Stephen, Ziggy, Damian, Bob Marley). The album builds upon the band’s signature style while venturing into new musical genres from the lush strings incorporated into the gentle “Route Around” to the driving guitar and synths throughout “Lady In White.”
Rebelution has developed into a front-runner for grassroots, independent and tour driven music groups. Originally formed in 2004, members Eric Rachmany (vocals/ guitar), Rory Carey (keyboards), Wesley Finley (drums), and Marley D. Williams (bass) met in college, while residing in Isla Vista, a popular beachside community in Santa Barbara. It was there that the seeds to Rebelution’s future were planted creating inspiring and engaging music that would leave their listeners with the sense that they have the power to make this world a better place.
Each of the three versions of Peace Of Mind are now being offered individually on vinyl pressings with a digital download card. Here you have the dynamic 12-track acoustic version of the critically acclaimed masterpiece.
Track Listing:
1. Sky is the Limit (Acoustic)
2. Comfort Zone (Acoustic)

Of all the remarkable talents to arise form the dancehalls of Kingston, Jamaica, few have proved more compelling or controversial than Adidja Palmer, better known as Vybz Kartel. Revered on the streets of the ghetto garrisons, he has also been reviled as a scourge on society, both for this unadultered lyrics and his unapologetic lifestyle. One thing nobody contests is that Vybz Kartel stands head and shoulders above his peers as a lyrical genius.
After breaking into the music business by penning hits for artists like Bounty Killer, he eventually decided to record for himself and has come back to dominate Jamaica's music scene, emerging as the genre's biggest trendsetter.
Kingston Story was produced by Brooklyn-based producer Dre Skull and released on his independent label Mixpak Records in digital form only. Now Kingston Story begins a new chapter, being re-released by Vice in a deluxe double gatefold vinyl edition with two never-before-heard bonus tracks.

 Easy Star's Thrillah
Easy Star All-Stars
$21.99
Vinyl LP - 2 LPs Sealed
|
Following up on the hugely successful reggae tribute albums of Dub Side of the Moon (2003), Radiodread (2006) and Easy Star's Lonely Hearts Dub Band (2009) comes the reggae adaptation of the greatest selling record of all time – Michael Jackson's Thriller. The album, titled Easy Star's Thrillah will be released August 28, 2012 (a day before the 53rd anniversary of Jackson's birth). Easy Star's Thrillah brings back several of the reggae stars from previous albums, such as vocalists Michael Rose (Black Uhuru), Steel Pulse, Luciano, Mojo Morgan (Morgan Heritage), alongside the diverse playing of guests Yossi Fine (David Bowie, Lou Reed, Stanley Jordan), Joe Tomino (Dub Trio/Matisyahu), Andy Farag (Umphrey's McGee), and horn tracks courtesy of Israel's highly-acclaimed funk/hip-hop band Hadag Nachash. The album will be preceded by the July 10th digital release of the Billie Jean EP, which includes two album tracks, along with non-album remixes and a dub version.
In selecting Thriller, Easy Star Records co-founder Lem Oppenheimer says, "We've always tackled the greats - The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Radiohead - but while we wanted to take on another huge album, we also wanted to blaze new trails. In Thriller we found those new trails in a number of firsts for the series: the first album by an American artist, the first non-concept album, the first R&B/soul record, as well as the first release from the 80s."
"For me, I was most excited for Thriller," says producer/arranger/guitarist Michael Goldwasser. "I was always more of an R&B/soul and reggae kid growing up and I have an intense personal connection to Michael Jackson's music." As usual, the process initially involved Goldwasser spending a few months on arranging the songs. "Writing the arrangements for this album was a cool challenge. I didn't have to try to make non-dance music into dance music as on our previous albums because the original Thriller is so danceable already, but I needed to find ways to make each song groove in a different way from the original version. I didn't want any of the arrangements to be obvious in that regard." In the end, Goldwasser's arrangements are some of the most interesting in his career.
Now that the hard work in the studio is done, the band is looking forward to bringing this music on the road, adding some dance/pop songs to their already varied sets. The band's live show, which was nominated for a UK Festy Award in 2009, already features tracks from the band's previous three tribute albums, along with original material. An extensive fall tour of the US and UK is already set up (US dates listed below), with more to come over the next year. As the original Thriller album comes up on its 30-year anniversary in November, what better way to celebrate this timeless album than to catch the Easy Star All-Stars perform their reggae-infused versions of this pop masterpiece.

In early 2011, Lee “Scratch” Perry’s dub masterpiece “Blackboard Jungle Dub” was released by a then upstart independent imprint known as Get On Down.While we were just getting our feet wet with the new label, the quality and craftsmanship of the
Lee Perry CD release quickly solidified Get On Down’s commitment to procuring and restoring forgotten treasures in deluxe and noteworthy formats. The CD was released to critical and consumer acclaim and marked the first in our series of remastered Dub reggae classics.
While we remain satisfied with the results of the still in print CD format, we were given an opportunity to explore a different avenue with this title for a vinyl issue. We took that opportunity
and ran with it!
The package contains the full length album spread across three pieces of vinyl, a 30” x 30” giant poster of the album’s cover art, and is housed in full color hinged box secured with a magnetic
clasp. We even went a step further with this release and sent the original version to our audio labs to be painstakingly remastered a second time to ensure 100% flawless audio sound quality. This record has truly NEVER sounded better.
This is the definitive Blackboard Jungle Dub and a collector’s keepsake we are proud to stand behind.

 Meets Rockers Uptown
King Tubby
$29.99
10" Vinyl LP - 3 LPs Sealed
|
Within any musical style, there are a few select works that resonate so strongly with audiences that they come to define the genre itself, taking on
a mythical quality that transforms the album into something greater than the sum of its individual parts. Meets Rockers Uptown, the 1976 collaboration
between producer instrumentalist Augustos Pablo and visionary dub engineer Osbourne “King Tubby” Ruddock, is one of those historic releases.
The album, which features Pablo playing melodica, clavinet, piano and organ, contains some of the greatest dub songs of all time, including Jacob
Miller’s “Baby I Love You So,” and the darkly seductive title track. The chemistry between Pablo’s beautiful “Far East” signature sound and King
Tubby’s meticulous attention to sonic detail results in an album the Virgin Encyclopedia of Reggae says is “regarded by many as one of the greatest
dub albums of all time.”
While we here at Get On Down remain satisfied with the results of our still in print CD format of this album, we were given an opportunity to explore a
different avenue with this title for a vinyl issue. We took that opportunity and ran with it!
The package contains the full length album spread across three pieces of vinyl, a 16 page book, and is housed in full color hinged box secured with a
magnetic clasp. We even went a step further with this release and sent the original version to our audio labs to be painstakingly remastered a second
time to ensure 100% flawless audio sound quality.
This record has truly NEVER sounded better. This is the definitive version of King Tubby and Augustos Pablo’s historic collaboration. Enjoy!

 This Generation
The Lions
$39.99
7" Vinyl Single Box Set - 8 Singles Sealed
|
Inspired by reggae, sound system culture and the myriad of musical styles influenced by Jamaican music old and new, The Lions’ sound is
firmly placed in soul music.
“All the guys in The Lions grew up on classic Jamaican records so since we began we have wanted to give our records that same edge and roughness that we grew up hearing on LPs by The Upsetters, Soul
Syndicate, The Rockers Band and Roots Radics. The rhythm section was all recorded to tape, the Hammond buzzed a little, fuses blew and good mistakes were left in. We basically made the dusty reggae soul
LP WE have been wanting to hear for years.” – Dan Ubick (producer)
The band draws together a dozen or so of LA’s elite reggae and soul forerunners who loosely coalesced as The Lions in 2007.

Dub reggae legend Lee "Scratch" Perry delivers a second follow-up to his Grammy-nominated collaboration with multi-instrumentalist Steve Marshall and producer John Saxon.

Not only did he help develop the early reggae sound captured in a number of important recordings, but as an engineer, producer, songwriter, and performer he pioneered a number of innovations, including dub reggae. Lee Perry again draws his narrative from his spirituality and today's global events.

Bob Marley is still immensely popular, even 20 years after his passing. Reason enough for Music On Vinyl to reissue Bob Marley & the Wailers' 1974 album 'Natty Dread'.
The oft-covered 'No Woman, No Cry'; the infectious and captivatingly cool 'Lively Up Yourself'; the Ska-inclined 'Rebel Music': this is just a hint at what 'Natty Dread'has to offer.
We can't expect any new Bob Marley songs, but we can gladly rediscover his classics over and over again.

Trinidadian Calypso In London, 1950-1956. Part 1 of a 6 part series.
2011 vinyl repress of what was the 2nd album on the Honest Jon's label, originally released 2002. When the Empire Windrush, an old troop-carrier, arrived at Tilbury on June 21, 1948, and inaugurated modern Caribbean immigration to Britain, it also supplied calypso with its best-known image -- on Pathé newsreel, Lord Kitchener singing his new composition "London Is The Place For Me." Kitch had boarded with Lord Beginner at Kingston docks, Jamaica, on Empire Day, May 24. In London they joined a milieu of fine band musicians familiar with Caribbean musical forms and already represented on numerous recordings crucial to the development of British swing and jazz music. Travelling with their own core audience, the Trinidadian calypsonians brought with them the vocal music of Carnival. Traditionally this ranges from social satire to sexual double-entendre, from voodoo to the most pressing issues of the day, from sporting events to competitive insult. The experiences of Britain's growing Caribbean population were to be fabulously rich in raw material. Housed in a gatefold sleeve.

 The World Is Shaking Cubanismo: From The Congo, 1954-55
Various Artists
$24.99
Vinyl LP - 2 LPs Sealed
|
Deluxe double LP version, in a beautiful gatefold sleeve. This is the fifth release in Honest Jon's series of albums exploring vintage recordings held in the EMI Hayes Archive. This album uncovers the dizzy beginnings of the golden age of African music zinging with the social and political ferment of the independence movement and anti-colonialism, after the Second World War and the daredevil origins of Congolese rumba -- the entire continent's most popular music in the '60s and '70s. The new music grew in concert with a burgeoning night life especially in the twin capitals of Leopoldville (today's Kinshasa) on the Belgian side, and Brazzaville on the French, where humming factories lured increasing numbers of rural Congolese with the offer of a steady, relatively well-paying job. The astonishing inventions of Europe and America also played an important role in the music's development. Traditional Congolese musicians began to master imported guitars and horns by mimicking what they heard. The jazz of Louis Armstrong and the ballads of European torch singers like Tino Rossi captured the imagination of the rapidly-expanding working class as well as the familiar-sounding music of Latin America. Local musicians swapped the Spanish of the originals for Congolese languages. In his version of "Peanut Vendor," included here, A.H. Depala replaces the seller's cry of "mani," or "peanut," with a lovelorn lament for a woman named "Moni." Depala went on to land a spot in the house-band of the prestigious Loningisa studio. Others failed to gain equivalent recognition, but their music was no less impressive. Listen to likembe (thumb-piano) player Boniface Koufidilia as he makes the transition from traditional to modern in the first few seconds of "Bino," which hits you with a vamping violin while he muses about death (including that of the popular Brazzaville musician Paul Kamba). Andre Denis and Albert Bongu both echo the sounds of palm-wine brought to the Belgian Congo by the coastmen. The sweet vocal harmonies of Vincent Kuli's track were learned, perhaps, in a mission church. Rene Mbu's nimble, likembe-like guitar plucking shines on "Boma Limbala," and is Laurent Lomande using a banjo as a backdrop to "Elisa?" Aren't those kazoos, buzzing along on Jean Mpia's "Tika?" It's as if the musicians, fired up by the times in their zeal for experimental self-expression, tossed into a bottle some new elements and some old, some near and some far, and then shook it hard, to see what would happen. With insert featuring rare photographs and notes by Gary Stewart, author of Rumba On The River. Sound restoration done at Abbey Road.

 Lagos All Routes
Various Artists
$22.99
Vinyl LP - 2 LPs Sealed

Honest Jon's bring us the second of two compilations (Lagos Chop Up being the first) focusing on music from the Nigerian city of Lagos circa the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s (considered to be the golden age of African popular music). With many African nations fighting for (or gaining) independence, locally produced modern music was seen as a powerful expression of new national identity. Bands either modernized folk, classical or traditional African genres, or Africanized foreign genres such as R'n'B and funk. From West Africa came 60s highlife, which then influenced Fela Kuti's Afro-funk of the 70s, while from the traditional Yoruba religion came juju, fuji, waka and apala tracks, all of which are included here." Artists: Chief Commander Ebenezer Obey & His Inter-Reformers Band, Sir Victor Uwaifo, Travellers Lodge Atomic 8, Sagbeni Aragbada, Super Negro Bantous, Cardinal Rex Jim Lawson, Ambali Adedeji, Chief Umobuarie And His Group, Mike Ejeagha, Kollington Ayinla, The Harbours Band, Haruna Ishola, Dr. Victor Olaiya, Sir Patrick Idahosa And His African Sound Makers.

'Equal Rights' brought together Peter Tosh's dedications to the revolutionary movements growing in Africa, and his personal growth as a prophet, poet, preacher and world-class musical trailblazer. The album included a number of songs that became human rights anthems over the next two decades: "Get Up, Stand Up," "Downpressor Man," "African," "Apartheid," and the title tune.
Both 'Legalize It' and 'Equal Rights' will be commemorated with the release of Expanded Vinyl Editions. Each double LP package will contain fully remastered audio and Dub versions that were previously only available on very limited edition Jamaican dub plates.

The first two solo albums by Peter Tosh on Columbia Records were cornerstones of the roots-rock-reggae movement: 'Legalize It' (1976) and 'Equal Rights' (1977).
Thirty-five years have passed since the release of 'Legalize It' , Tosh's first album as a solo artist after more than a decade in the Wailers with Bob Marley and Bunny Livingston.
During that time, the Marley-Tosh signature began to achieve a worldwide notoriety that would have seriously rivaled the likes of Lennon-McCartney and Jagger-Richards, if the original Wailers had been able to stay together past 1975.
Both 'Legalize It' and 'Equal Rights (MOVLP341)' will be commemorated with the release of Expanded Vinyl Editions.

The song "The Tide Is High" is best known as a huge hit for Blondie, but originally it was a hit for the Paragons in the '60s. Formed in Kingston, Jamaica, the Paragons originally started out as a vocal group heavily influenced by American soul music. After John Holt joined the group and became its leader they softened their soulful sound and went for a more root-heavy, rocksteady approach. With success; the Paragons became the most popular rocksteady vocal act in Jamaica and in Britain. Money problems eventually led to the band's breakup but the Paragons recordings are still some of the most wonderful and sublime moments in Jamaican Pop.

Kaya is a roots reggae album released by Bob Marley and the Wailers in 1978. The album consists of tracks recorded alongside those present on the Exodus album in 1977. The album has a very relaxed, laid back sound, lacking much of the militant quality of the Wailers lyrically and musically. They received criticism for 'going soft' as a result of the general sound of the album as well as the theme: songs primarily revolving around love, as well as marijuana. The album's release coincided with the One Love Peace Concert, heralding Marley's triumphant return to Jamaica from exodus in London. Many of the songs present on this album, as well as its sister album Exodus, are rerecorded versions of older tracks present on albums like African Herbsman. Well known songs from the album include "Is This Love" and "Satisfy My Soul". Kaya reached the top five in the UK album charts.

For Bob Marley, 1975 was a triumphant year. The singer's Natty Dread album featured one of his strongest batches of original material (the first compiled after the departure of Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer) and delivered Top 40 hit 'No Woman No Cry.' The follow-up Live set, a document of Marley's appearance at London's Lyceum, found the singer conquering England as well. Upon completing the tour, Marley and his band returned to Jamaica, laying down the tracks for Rastaman Vibration (1976) at legendary studios run by Harry Johnson and Joe Gibbs. At the mixing board for the sessions were Sylvan Morris and Errol Thompson, Jamaican engineers of the highest caliber. Though none of these cuts would show up on Legend, Marley's massively popular, posthumous best-of, some of the finest reality numbers would surface on the compilation's more militant equivalent, 1986's Rebel Music set. 'War,' for one, remains one of the most stunning statements of the singer's career. Though it is essentially a straight reading of one of Haile Selassie's speeches, Marley phrases the text exquisitely to fit a musical setting, a quiet intensity lying just below the surface. Equally strong are the likes of 'Rat Race,' 'Crazy Baldhead,' and 'Want More.' These songs are tempered by buoyant, lighthearted material like 'Cry to Me,' 'Night Shift,' and 'Positive Vibration.' Not quite as strong as some of the love songs Marley would score hits with on subsequent albums, 'Cry to Me' still seems like an obvious choice for a single and remains underrated. Though record buyers may not have found any single song to be as strong on those terms as 'No Woman No Cry,' Rastaman Vibration still reached the Top Ten in the United States.

The soft, sticky substance sinks deep down into the grooves, pulling out years of debris and removing ticks and pops from your vinyl. Place any LP on a flat surface and roll In The Groove on the record following the grooves. No fluids or cleaning agents needed. When it gets dirty, just rinse it off under the sink and blot it dry with a paper towel. The sticky surface will be good as new. Our highest recommendation for an entry-level record cleaning tool!
In The Groove also removes dirt and fingerprints from:
Flat-Panel Televisions
Computer/Laptop Screens
iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch
Any cell phone
Its uses are endless, it lasts forever and you don't need any cleaning chemicals!
NOTE: Do not apply much pressure. Let In the Groove do all the work.

10" Vinyl LP - 3 LPs Sealed

One of the most memorable and influential releases from the canon of legendary reggae producer Lee “Scratch” Perry’s
prolific discography, The Upsetters Chapter 1 stands out as one of the eccentric genius’s most interesting, adventurous works.
Using a combination of established collaborators and new musicians (including greats like Aston “Family Man” Barrett & Earl
“Chinna” Smith), Perry created a classic dub record that pulses with deep bass, echoing percussion and dissonant sound
effects. Spiritual cuts (“When Jah Come”) are balanced by grand dub productions (“Tighten Up”), creating a cohesive,
infectious sound that makes this among the Upsetter’s finest material.
ClockTower now gives this masterpiece from dub’s supreme musical architect the deluxe triple 10” reissue treatment with the
colored vinyl housed in a durable box with magnetic clasp. This is the ultimate version of a landmark releases of the genre.

 Ritmo y Sabor
Manteca
$22.99
Vinyl LP - Sealed
|
Born and raised in Cuba, Lazaro Pla was a master "bongosero" known world-wide as Manteca. This vinyl reissue of Ritmo y Sabor, a mid-'70s rarity, features 35 minutes of percussion madness that will please any and all interested in pure, deep Latin music. Heavy, relentless yet limber bass-driven grooves are the order of the day, featuring Manteca's percussive extrapolations as well as the irresistible contributions of Nelson 'El Flaco' Pardon on timbales and Carlos 'Potato' Valdez on congas. Manteca was a featured performer with pianist Ernesto Lecuona, acknowledged as Cuba's greatest composer; Manteca's dazzling work can be found on recordings with Lecuona's Cuban Boys, as well as sideman work with other Cuban combos. His recorded output as leader and featured soloist is limited, however, so this LP, with its no-nonsense old-school rootsy production is a blessing, a chance to hear the master in full flight. Two vinyl sides of Afro-Cuban funk paradise from renowned legend Manteca!

1. Rumbon en Casa de Cando
2. Afro Funky
3. Sabor A Mantecado
