I keep my collection in zippered ripstop IKEA boxes and purge albums that I don't play anymore. Tastes change!

Huge sound! Impressive guitar work, drums and echoes. Give Moodie a shout.

What an important piece of music! I’ve been collecting select Soul Jazz titles for a while. Found at a record shop and asked them to play a few tracks. After an hour of crate digging they flipped to disc 2 and kept going. It was obvious this...

Weird there are no comments yet. This is a very original/different Roots album from Jamaica when many local artists and producers were transitioning to Dancehall. Its slow pace is like a turtle that wins the race. Mastering was done in the UK — great...

This LP has the Roots reggae scene in the USA on lock. While Jamaica shifted into Dancehall and Digital, groups like this stuck with live creative instrumentation, and it’s all analog. Being in the Boston music arts scene they had access to legit...

Not surprising at all. Misspellings are quite common on Jamaican records.

these are digital reworkings and re-versioned 1970s instrumentals by the one and only "Mr. Rock Steady"

Super under the radar production by Mad Professor with Black Steel’s percussion being top of its class for the era. Much of Reggae in the 90s was digital synth, which in the hands of masters results in an album like this.

Definitely intrigued. Followed BT closely in the early 2000s and his fanbase website listed it as a 12" single in its discography. This was reliable information at the time, I suppose they saw it played during a live performance as a one-off...

Great live performance irrespective of genre. How it has it never been reissued, never mind it not found streaming, is a mystery to me!

This DVD edition is a documentary with the only audio being the album. The video is a revelation. You have a window - actually it is a seat - in the rooms and in front of the consoles, every hour day and night, in a sparse flat and down in the...

Nice cross section of Rocksteady on this comp, excellent mastering job.

What year was this concert approximately? Word. Word. Word. Word.

Obviously a dish warped press in this era is unforgivable. Especially with a Universal logo on the back. Return these for quality control reasons and get a replacement. It just came out last week!
My copy tonight played noisy upon rotation side A&B... See full review |

what do you feel are the other best? I am very fond of Barrington Levy - Run Come Ya!

MrCrisp, the duplication of a rhythm (can be the exact same instrumental recording, or reperformed by another band) is part of the reggae tradition. In Perry’s case, multiple versions of multiple rhythms appearing on releases featuring him as a...

My opinion, this is Barrington's best release. A Canon of reggae.
|
|
Agreed from the Bronx. I've gone ahead and fixed the release info
|

This Folk Blues style recording is really special, being the same caliber as:
Lightnin' Hopkins - Goin' Away Mississippi John Hurt - Today! Skip James - Skip James Today! |
|
Gorgeous production from the mid-90s. Really nice release from the vault.

Agree this is a nice cut, surprising 80’s roots from Vermont.

Killer. No filler. This is dub locked in a room, bouncing off the walls, then unleashed. More please!

Great compilation! Repackaged in a Discomix format as Various - Rare Reggae Grooves From Studio One on Heartbeat.
|

Nailed it in 2022 with this new album. Hope there is a U.S. tour soon.

I’ll trade the copper Vinyl for your CD. Hit me up!
