"As Beatlemania approached its peak, Jamaican music was undergoing a transition that started with ska, and then morphed into rocksteady, before assuming its ultimate form as reggae. Inevitably these cultures collided, with artists such as the Paragons and Marcia Griffiths establishing a tradition of creating dynamic reggae covers of the Beatles' hits that continues to this day. This album extends this lineage, as some of the best reggae artists set out on a series of version excursions that include some of the Fab Four's best loved bitter-sweet cuts."

"1983 roots reggae album pressed on red vinyl. Ride With The Rasses was an unequivocal statement of Prince Lincoln's Rastafarian faith and a discernible demonstration that his 'determination (was) inexhaustible'. The LP found favor with listeners worldwide, but, without the extensive, expensive promotion and publicity a major label could provide the album went relatively unheard outside of those who had kept the faith with conscious music making. This Burning Sounds re-release will, hopefully, secure a long overdue measure of re-appraisal and positive reassessment."

"Born in Kingston, Jamaica December 25th, 1957 Roy Anthony Johnson grew up in the notorious Trench Town ghetto where, inspired by local vocalists, Dennis Brown, Alton Ellis and John Holt, he made his debut recording Free Black Man for Bunny 'Striker' Lee which remained unreleased. He went on to record with Jo Jo Hookim at Channel One before becoming a member of the Mystic I vocal trio alongside Les Clarke and Balvin Fials, who released the Mysterious album, produced by Linval Thompson, on Burning Sounds Reggae Feelings is a reminder of the continuing relevance of the dancehall style. Rough, raw and rugged they represent the real authentic sound of young Jamaica from over thirty years ago when the youths 'forgot their troubles and danced'."

"Debut solo album from the Black Slate singer originally released in 1979. Now released on 180 gram vinyl. Red Hot Dub, originally released in 1979 through West London's Burning Sounds label and credited to Elroy Bailey, is a superior dub-based collection that showcases subtle, masterful musicianship rather than electronic pyrotechnics and studio trickery. The album provides a perfect example of just how far UK reggae had progressed by that time and that the children of the Jamaican diaspora, together with a multitude of musical accomplices, could now stand shoulder to shoulder with their Kingston counterparts."

Restocked. "Producer Jah Thomas Toyan aka Ranking Toyan (born Byron Letts, died 1991) was a Jamaican reggae deejay active since the mid-1970s and best known for his early 1980s recordings. Toyan began his career in 1974, deejaying on Kingston's sound systems, such as Socialist Roots and Romantic HiFi. He recorded his debut single, 'Disco Pants' in the late 1970s for producer Don Mais. He went on to work extensively with Joseph Hoo Kim and Jah Thomas, resulting in a string of hits including 'Girls Nowadays', 'Kill No Man', 'John Tom', and 'Talk of the Town', as well as combination hits with The Mighty Diamonds ('Pretty Woman'), Badoo ('Rocking the 5000'), and Freddie McGregor ('Roots Man Skanking'). In 1981 he joined Henry 'Junjo' Lawes' Volcano Sound system, and toured Canada. With Lawes, he recorded the album How the West Was Won, and went on to produce his own work and that of others such as Billy Boyo and Anthony Johnson. He toured the United Kingdom with the Jah Prophecy band and performed in Jamaica alongside Dennis Brown. Toyan was murdered in Jamaica in 1991."

Continuing interest in his work saw the release of two albums of material from the 1970s on Blood & Fire records, Only Love Can Conquer and I Can Hear The Children Singing, which brought his work to a new audience. Allah continued to release records occasionally through the 1980s and 1990s, including an album with Jah Shaka, as well as this album.
