"This is Lee 'Scratch' Perry's final studio album recorded shortly before his passing in October 2021. Lee was one of 'the major cultural figures' of the twentieth and twenty first centuries. His contribution to the furtherance of Jamaican music as producer, arranger, writer and artist is beyond compare. He played a pivotal role in, and was the inspiration behind, many of the key movements in the development of reggae throughout the '60s and '70s. Released on 180m gram vinyl, including a booklet with extensive sleeve notes by Noel Hawks, plus photos."

"Ephraim 'Jerry' Baxter recorded Love Train under the name Well Pleased And Satisfied with The Revolutionaries backing him. Recorded at Channel One and Randy's with a mix done at King Tubby's, Love Train highlights The Revolutionaries 'rockers' sound and is a 'showcase' album which means the corresponding dub follows each vocal track. The album contains the original vocal cut of 'West Man Rock' which was dee-jay'ed over by Ken Quatty under the same title, plus some outstanding Revolutionaries dubs of Jerry's vocal tracks. Love Train was originally issued by Burning Sounds' sub-label Burning Rockers on red vinyl in 1979. Burning Sounds have on this re-issue album kept the original color and label."

"Opening with Jah Walton who would go on to greater success as Joseph Cotton in the nineties, followed by Big Youth who had made some of his earliest records with Phil Pratt. I Roy, Jamaica's most literate and articulate DJ, steps forward with two big hits, 'Ital Dish' and 'Musical Air Raid' before two tracks from King Sighta, a young DJ who apparently lost an eye in a factory accident, and who released the eponymous King Sighter The One Eyed Giant album on Terminal that year. Very little is known about Little Wicked, but Big Joe recorded extensively during the seventies for Studio One, Harry Mudie's Moodisc Records and many other top producers although this is his sole recording, released on Chanan Jah in London, for Phil Pratt. The set concludes with Jah Stitch, DJ for Tippertone and Black Harmony sound systems."

"1978's Slum in Dub album re-issued on 180 gram red vinyl in its original cover. Coupled with the succinct Revolutionaries band and Isaacs quality songwriting, the deconstructed cuts, weave and flow like any good quality dub album should. with some of the track names giving more than a hint of the original song title such as Public Eyes, which was one of the major hits off The Cool Ruler as John Public. The dense Slum originated as Party In The Slum, while the brighter Reform Institution began life as Uncle Joe. Word Of The Farmer becomes Croft and Tam Tam began life as One More Time. One of Gregory Isaacs's early hits, 'Black A Kill Black' is translated into 'Leaving' while Leggo Beast using an updated old Studio One rhythm, 'Swing Easy', probably refers to Trevor 'Leggo' Douglas who ran the Cash & Carry label with Isaacs. The track 'N*gger' also uses an old Studio One rhythm track updated and this time it's The Heptones breezy 'Party Time' which gets the Jammy treatment as too Embarrassment which again revitalizes a Studio One gem; 'Frozen Soul' by The Soul Vendors band."

"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."
