VP 4201LP
|
2019 reissue. Originally released in 1977. "Among the most important full-length album works from one of reggae's greatest singers, Mr. Isaacs shows the great Gregory Isaacs in the prime of his career in 1976. Better known for his love songs, Isaacs was equally adept at cultural themes. The tracks 'Set The Captives Free' and 'Slave Master' are among the most popular in his catalog, the latter immortalized on film in the movie Rockers. The track 'Storm' became an early dancehall favorite, its rhythm track reimagined no fewer than 75 times over the last 40 years. Isaacs' love of rocksteady shines in his cover of the Silvertones' 'Smile,' and his soulful side comes through on a cover of The Temptations' 'Get Ready.' The breadth of material on Mr. Isaacs is the hallmark of a reggae classic."

"... Isaacs kicks off the set with his declaration of independence, 'No Footstool,' but a quartet of militant cultural numbers -- a fierce 'A Riot,' a simmering 'Jailer,' a heartfelt 'Village of the Under Privileged' and the powerful return-to-Africa-themed 'Border' -- fuels this set. All are classic Isaacs, with the latter featuring the sublime harmonies of the Tamlins, who backed the singer on both these sets. Intercut between these cultural masterpieces are equally superb romantic offerings, notably the evocative 'Once Again' and the gorgeous 'Tumbling Tears,' the latter another massive hit. Like its predecessor, this is no career-spanning best-of set, but a superb album that does indeed include much of Isaacs' best work with Ranglin during the mid-'70s." --JoAnn Greene (All Music Guide)

DO BG001-EP
|
Just like cream-of-the-crop digi-Tubbys. From Gregory Isaacs's New Dance album sessions in 1988, with the Firehouse Crew. Mixed by Leroy 'Fatman' Thompson - formerly apprenticed to the King, en route to Jammys - and produced by Bunny Gemini and Tristan Palma. Gregory is desolate and compelling... and the dub is murder.

DO GC002-EP

Masterful Gregory Isaacs from 1997, sounding spooked and hunted over a juddering, propulsive Music Works rhythm, fulgent and full-on, with deep, pounding bass, clattering percussion, parping horns, classy backing vocals and harp starbursts... top-notch Gussies. Two extended vocal versions, and two dubs, all quite different. Bimmety bim bim.

TABOU 001EP

"Gregory Isaacs is one of Jamaica's top 5 artists, with his unmistakable crooning voice. Over a career spanning 4 decades, he has never stopped singing about love, and poverty. In 2006, he recorded 'Poor Man In Love' at Harry J studios in Kingston, where Sly & Robbie were producing an all acoustic session the old school way: one take, no overdubs, all live playing in the studio.He did his song in one take, with no lyric sheet or anything. Pure inspiration, a genius still at the top of his game, enjoying the moment with his old pals with whom he had recorded numerous hits. Musicians played on and on, clearly savoring each other and grooving on the rhythm as if onstage. The lineup reads like a who's who of Reggae music: in addition to Sly & Robbie, Ansel Collins, Robbie Lyn and Wally Badarou handle keyboard and synthesizer duties, while Dougie Bryan adds an African-like touch on lead guitar. Sticky Thompson and Skully Simms add percussions to the mix. Godwin Logie, who had mixed Gregory's masterpiece album 'Night Nurse' way back in '82, was picked to mix this absolute jewel of a song."

Curtis Lynch, the legendary record producer and driving force of Necessary Mayhem, has reworked 10 of the very best tracks from the Gregory Isaacs and Gussie Clarke era, from 1984 to 1999. Curtis was inspired by the works of Clarke & Isaacs during his school days, and his selection of tracks may surprise many fans, as they are not the obvious choices. The attention to detail made Lynch fall in love with Isaacs, and he has selected his personal favorites, saying that "the clear unmixed vocals and instruments were bliss for me to work on." These masterpieces have been remixed and reworked by some of the planet's finest musicians and audio engineers. Featuring contributions from artists such as Dennis Brown & Macka B, Shabba Ranks & Josey Wales, and Da Grynch.
