2023 repress. "In The Light is rightly regarded as Horace Andy's strongest testament. Originally released in 1977 and given confirmed reggae album classic status by its 1995 Blood & Fire release, this reissue is complete with the Prince Jammy dub companion. The newly commissioned sleeve notes are written by reggae historian, Noel Hawks, and feature previously unseen photos. Horace Andy is already considered a legend in reggae circles, a status which has strengthened through his work with Massive Attack and his continued live presence. In The Light captures Andy at the very highpoint of his game."

"Keith Hudson's Pick A Dub is a classic album by many standards; released in1974, the session features performances from reggae legends Augustus Pablo, Big Youth, and Carlton and Aston Barrett. The 1994 re-issue on the Blood & Fire label introduced a new generation to its 'austere sonic qualities' and genre defining techniques. Pick A Dub showcases the enduring strength and pivotal importance of the rhythm to the development of reggae and dub music. Keith Hudson's complete mastery of the genre and the unqualified praise that followed its release was fully justified."

2023 repress. Originally released in 1998. "A typically excellent reissue by Heartbeat, Rounder Records' reggae-and-Caribbean imprint, 1998's Skatalites & Friends At Randy's is a fascinating collection of rare tracks recorded at the legendary Randy's Studio in Kingston, Jamaica in the mid '60s. Although the Skatalites only get their names on a quarter of the 20 tracks here -- all of them killer ska instrumentals -- they were the backing band on all of them, and although the Maytals or Alton Ellis might get top billing on the other 15 tracks, they're indubitably Skatalites tracks. Even more than Booker T and the MGs did for Stax/Volt or the Funk Brothers did for Motown, the Skatalites defined -- some say invented -- the musical landscape of Kingston from 1963 to 1966. Highlights include 'Machine Shop' a solo showcase by Skatalites trombonist Don Drummond, and a skanking version of Henry Mancini's 'Baby Elephant Walk' that works much better than anyone might expect."

"Return Of The Super Ape was the final revelation from Lee Perry's Black Art Studio before it closed, a psychedelicized dub journey into uncharted sonic territories. Return Of The Super Ape is the follow-up album to highly acclaimed dub album Super Ape. Just like its predecessor, the album was produced by Lee 'Scratch' Perry. It was the last album by the Upsetters before Perry closed down his Black Ark Studio. The album showcases yet again the prodigious production skills of undisputed dub master Lee 'Scratch' Perry's insanely layered textures and technical wizardry. With the Upsetters providing their musical backing. Now freshly remastered and restored for 2022 with original press artwork. Includes foldout and booklet."

'On November 3rd 2017, ABC Music, BACO Records & VP Records / 17 North Parade will release Havana Meets Kingston. The innovative, culture-centric album brings together legendary and emerging Cuban and Jamaican musicians in a world first recording project. The album re-imagines classic songs as well as creating new compositions, all infused with Jamaican reggae and dancehall and traditional Cuban rhythms. Produced by Australia's leading reggae and dancehall producer Mista Savona, Havana Meets Kingston is the first full-length project to present the blended sounds of these two distinct island nations supported by an all-star cast of musicians. Of the 15 new recordings on the album, fresh versions of 'Chan, Chan,' 'El Cuarto De Tula,' and 'Candela' (made famous by the album/film Buena Vista Social Club) present a blended Caribbean flair. The album was recorded at Egrem Studios (Estudios Areito 101) in Havana and features performances by Grammy award winning reggae duo Sly & Robbie with original Buena Vista Social Club instrumentalists Ronaldo Luna and Barbarito Torres among others. New renditions of classic reggae songs; 'Vibracion Positive' (Rastaman Vibration), 'Row Fisherman Row' and '100 Pounds of Collie' feature the talents of vocalists Cornel Campbell, Turbulence, Randy Valentine and Prince Alla among many others. 'When I first visited Cuba in 2014, there was something in the air -- it just seemed to be begging to happen', said Jake Savona. 'The album simmers with an energy, warmth and sincerity that seems increasingly hard to find in this digital age. We hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed creating it.' For generations, Cuba and Jamaica have been at the forefront of trends in music, art, fashion and food throughout the Americas. Havana Meets Kingston meshes these musical pathways, effortlessly blending Cuban rhythms and melodies with reggae's rumbling basslines and hypnotic drums, resulting in an exceptional listening experience. 'We are excited to be associated with this album,' said Randy Chin, President of VP Records. 'it's a historical album with amazing production and talented artists, making it a truly ground-breaking project.'"

2020 release. "Black Ark In Dub is another piece of Lee 'Scratch' Perry's limitless musical puzzle. Featuring a bedrock of deep and heavy rhythms recorded at the Black Ark just before its demise. Originally released in 1981 the hard to find Black Ark In Dub features bass heavy spooky dub deconstructions of 'Jah Love Is Sweeter', 'Ethiopia', 'Lion A De Winner', 'Open The Gate', 'Guideline,' and 'Mr. Money Man', along with an embellished dub version of Ras Keatus I 'Dreadlocks I' and the much sought after 'Guidance' a longtime Jah Shaka killer exclusive to this set. Black Ark In Dub remains a frozen sonic timepiece, captured at the beginning of the end of one era and poised at the start of another."
