"This is the reissue of the rare 1973 original single with its original tracks as produced by Lee Perry. This original 'Better Days' performed by The Carltons aka Carlton And The Shoes, was released on the Jamaican label Underground in 1973 as a B side to the track 'Station Underground News' by Lee Perry (under the stage name 'King Koba'). It was also released the same year in the U.K. on the Bread label, a Trojan's sublabel. 'Better Days' was the only song ever recorded under the name The Carltons. Regrettably, it was also the only Carlton And The Shoes track ever produced by Lee Perry. This is the fi¬rst reissue of the original single complete with its original tracks."

Welcome to the Ska Beat!, the sound that came from Jamaica between 1961-1967. Based on the American R&B and doo-wop records that the sound systems in Kingston Town used to play. The American records style started to mellow out while the Jamaicans preferred a more upbeat sound. So, to meet this demand the sound system bosses became record producers to cater for this demand. Sir Coxsone, Duke Reid lead the way by putting the top musicians on the Island in the studio to make this ska sound! Here for your enjoyment is a selection of some of the top tunes that made ska so great. Features The Skatalites, Johnny Moore, and Roland Alphonso. CD version includes two bonus tracks.

"Third installment in the Bobby Aitken series, featuring long unavailable and previously unreleased works by one of Jamaican music's most elder statesmen. The A-side is the stuff dreams are made of, previously unreleased melancholy minor key rocksteady, featuring a young Glen Adams on vocals and cut at WIRL where Bobby & The Carib Beats did a lot of work. The B-side is the great 'Wonder Music,' an upful horns instrumental featuring Val Bennett sitting in with the band, finally back after being long unavailable since it first surfaced in the 1990s."

Side A has an instrumental cut of the sublime rhythm used for Ewan Naptali's classic 'Africa Awaiting Its Creator,' the flip side has another instrumental titled 'Sons of the Most High,' which we think was voiced by Dan Hutson but never released."

"Legendary 12 Tribes instrumental tune here, this is the alternate dubplate version with added instrumentation and different arrangement and mix. 12 Tribes musical director Pablove Black was the maestro of so much great music in the 1970s, from Studio 1 to the sessions for various producers operating in the 12 Tribes milieu at the time, such as his great work for Carl Fletcher's Uprising label. As with the original 45 release of this tune, this is a two-part instrumental spread over both sides."

"Apex militant late '70s style here, if you think you are into steppers you should have this one firmly in your sights. One of Mr. Smart's hardest records, this originally appeared only as an album track, but also had some fame as a dubplate played at the time by Jah Shaka and others. The A-side features the raw dubplate cut vocal, no horns or other adornment, HARD to the point stepping drum and bass style. The B-side features the original Gussie Clarke dub mix aptly titled 'Hot Steppers,' also previously released only on album. This cut as well was run on dubplate back at the time, a killer mix with full horns but no vocal. Leroy Smart is an all-time favorite artists and Digikiller takes pride in having re-released a handful of his all-time best records, this one now added to that list."

"Following the well-received Prince Philip Presents 2LP compilation, here's a lovely overview of the second phase of Philip's career, as engineer and producer at his own studio, HC&F. These ten tracks comprise our favorites from his production catalog, spanning the mid '80s when the studio really got going, right up until 1996 and his last set of proper productions. The album holds a mix of well-known classics like the Garnett Silk, lesser-known album only cuts like the Frankie Paul, NY dancehall 12" staples like the Scion Success or Shelene, as well as some lesser-known gems. This album also contains two previously unreleased cuts -- a wicked mid '80s Tony Tuff, and the wild vocoder laden 1985 theme song for Philip's 'Get Smart' radio show, which ran for many many years on New York University's WNYU radio station."

The Heptones 'Get Up & Chant' is a certified roots anthem, FINALLY retrieved from album duty and now on a nice fat single for the first time, heavy anthemic roots with a killer mix and lashing reverb. Following this is another total gem formerly hidden away exclusively on an old Park Heights compilation -- Bobby Floyd's 'Need to Belong,' a beautiful soulful roots tune with harmonies by the Heptones. On the flip side is a total killer previously unreleased Stranger Cole roots tune from the early '80s, in extended discomix style."

"Back to back deep roots here. Both sides produced by Niney the Observer on one of Augustus Pablo's all-time masterpieces, the 555 Crown Street rhythm. The A-side is Johnny Clarke chanting out 'Warrior,' then flip it over for Ranking Trevor, one of the most underrated deejays ever, breezing out over a dubbed cut with plenty of our beloved bleeps. These were undoubtedly dubplates at the time they were made in the '70s, but both first released later, the Johnny Clarke on CD in the 1990s, and the Ranking Trevor actually much earlier in 1979, when the late great Dave Hendley released it on his Sufferers Heights label. Both tunes have been issued in a couple forms since, but not in quite a while; top shelf essential material."

"One of the best mid-'70s roots tunes, reissued the way Digikiller always wanted to see it. The Officials (later known as Earth & Stone) 'Babylonian' was released on a very rare Jaguar 45 as a solo vocal, but also had a lesser known release on a Dynamic Sounds compilation album. That album cut is a duo harmony vocal over a slightly different take of the rhythm, and never reissued on vinyl before. Both vocal cuts are now paired back to back in crisp master tape quality."

Backed by The Aggrovators and mixed by King Tubby, Kelly's silky vocals glide over deep rhythms, balancing heartfelt love songs with socially aware themes. Often likened to soul legends like Sam Cooke, Kelly's refined tenor and emotive delivery shine in this reissue, restoring a sought-after gem in the Burning Sounds catalogue."

"Battle of Armagideon is one of the essential albums by Jamaican reggae artist Lee 'Scratch' Perry. His backing group by that time were The Upsetters. This album will get you to the heart of Perry's unique work as a mixer and producer. He explores the music by adding a lot of sound effects to the different tracks. 'I'm a Madman' is the best-known album track, where Perry is going to the max. It's pure craziness at its best. Lee 'Scratch' Perry was a pioneer in the 1970s development of dub music and worked together with artists such as Bob Marley and the Wailers, The Clash and The Beastie Boys. Nowadays he's still performing and recording music. Battle Of Armagideon is available as a limited edition of 750 individually numbered copies on yellow colored vinyl."
