"Extremely rare dub album from 1980 now available on CD. This album was issued in 1980 in a limited edition of 300 copies on a blank label in a plain sleeve with no credits. It has never been repressed since then and has become a seriously in-demand collectors' item with copies changing hands for between £100 and £200... Now available on LP and CD with bonus tracks Dub mixed at: TMC (Tooting Music Centre) Recording Studio, 118 Mitcham Road, Tooting, London by Chris Lane We probably did it in all in about two hours and ten minutes, despite not having a lot of time, or perhaps precisely because of not having a lot of time, the resulting album, God Sent Dub proved to be a masterclass in dub mixing aimed directly at the roots market... it went back to the roots of dub and echoed the stark style of some of the very first dub albums from the mid-seventies."

"Originally released in 1984, back on vinyl. The eighties were a particularly difficult time for Jamaican singers: reggae music, on record and live and direct, was dominated by deejays and a singer had to be very, very special to encroach on the talking artists' monopoly on popularity. Only a handful of singers had the style and stamina to take on the challenge and musical maestros such as Barrington Levy, Frankie Paul and Michael 'Lick Shot' Palmer stood head and shoulders above the competition. Michael Palmer, also known as Palmer Dog, was one of the most popular and successful vocalists of the dance hall era and had risen to prominence on the sound system circuit by "employing similar improvisatory techniques at the mic. He certainly needed them to stay ahead of the fierce competition from the sound system deejays who were turning reggae music away from its international ambitions and returning it to its origins in the dance halls of Jamaica."

"Born John McMorris in Kingston, Jamaica in 1970 his nickname originally described this young man to a tee but, as time passed, his stature in the reggae music business continued to grow, Little John became more akin to his Sherwood Forest namesake. Little John first burst on to the Jamaican music scene in 1979 as a precocious nine-year-old on an uncredited combination with Captain Sinbad on '51 Storm' for Sugar Minott's Black Roots label. His Unite album 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 nearly forty years ago when the youths 'forgot their troubles and danced'. Recorded At Channel One, Kingston, Jamaica Produced by Anthony Dehaney. Mixed by Scientist. Backing band: The Roots Radics. Recorded 1984."

"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."

"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."
