Top Ten Releases/Reissues for 2023

 OK constant readers,

JJ's Top Ten releases/reissues from 2023 (in no particular order)

1. As some of the constant readers may have seen my earlier post regarding Jane Bee's - River Nile - Tuff Scout 10", so her release easily makes the top five. Everyone I've played it to, really 'feels' it. :)

2.1212 featuring Earl 16 - Love will tear us apart - Happy People US 7" - yes I know everyone is probably sick to death of this old chestnut, but for me Earl makes it almost sound like his own song & great riddim/production as well

3.Leroy Smart - So Much Things (Dub plate cuts) - Music Works/Common Ground Int'l 10" + the Gussie Roots Sounds 7" of the same tune, both mixed by Russ D - HARD!

4.Gladiators - Can't Stop Righteousness - Hit Bound/Archive Recordings 7" - Excellent in every way.

5.VA - Studio One From The Vaults Vol.III - Studio One LP

6.Ruddy Symbal - A So The System Go - Sufferer / Hornin' Sounds 7" - simply beautiful.

7.Bakery All Stars - Send Me That Love - Hornin' Sounds 12" - ditto.

8.Best Of Natty Dread - Book - interviews with some seriously rare artists & splendid photos.

9.Joe Gibbs & the Professionals - 100 Years Of Dub - Dr Bird 2CD - I wasn't expecting to enjoy this set as much as I do?

10.Sangie Davis - Jingling Keys - Horus 7"



close runners up,

TJ Thomas - Sad To Know I Am Leaving - Deep Roots 12"
Laury Webb - Woman My Queen - Jamwax 12"
Ruddy Symbal - Time To Realise Sufferer/Hornin' Sounds 7"
Roman Stewart/Heptones - Rain A Fall - Park Heights / DKR 7"
Michael Powell - Christmas Time - Hot Stuff / TRS 12"

Original reason for this blog.....

 The Original reason I created this blog , was because the now defunkt Ernie B's Records keep emailing me , informing me that if in any way I was promoting Reggae music I would be elligable for a wholesale account (=discounts) when ordering from him. 

So here you go, a blog to promote Reggae.,  - you can't hold me responsible for how many people have veiwed it though :) see stats.

Roots From The Fields - Selassie I

 I recently got my hands on a mint copy of a very rare 7" single, by Roots Of The Field.

It's called 'Selassie I' & the b side dub version is titled 'Conquer' & it's on the 'Roots Of The Field Records Inc' label.
Recorded in 1977 or '78 - (date differs between sources)
This is the only known recording by 'Roots of the Field' & the only release on the 'Roots Of The Field Records Inc' label.
We can probably assume that this recording was self financed by the artist(s), who would have hired musicians & booked a studio & made their own labels, before getting a small number of 7"s pressed up at one of the many (at the time) record pressing plants in Kingston.
Here is a You tube clip of vocal & dub
How long shall the wicked reign 
How long shall I stand this pain
Rasta shall stand & the wicked ones fall
Give I strength, let I free thyself
Selassie I , Father most high
Selassie I , Father most high
(first verse)
Selassie I , Conquering Lion of the tribe of Judah
& then the Dub version - Lovely deep rolling bassline, angelic harmony breaks, huge stabs of piano & a clacking rhythm guitar, eerie harmonica riding over the top & subtle touches of echo on the drums, - Selassie I whoooh!

the Specials - Friday Night, Saturday Morning

 Friday Night, Saturday Morning

.



Out of bed at eight am
Out my head by half past ten
Out with mates and dates and friends
That's what I do at weekends
I can't talk and I can't walk
But I know where I'm going to go
I'm going watch my money go
At the Locarno, no
When my feet go through the door
I know what my right arm is for
Buy a drink and pull a chair
Up to the edge of the dance floor
Bouncers bouncing through the night
Trying to stop or start a fight
I sit and watch the flashing lights
Moving legs in footless tights
I go out on Friday night and I come home on Saturday morning
I go out on Friday night and I come home on Saturday morning
I like to venture into town
I like to get a few drinks down
The floor gets packed the bar gets full
I don't like life when things get dull
The hen party have saved the night
And freed themselves from drunken stags
Having fun and dancing in
A circle round their leather bags
I go out on Friday night and I come home on Saturday morning
I go out on Friday night and I come home on Saturday morning
But two o'clock has come again
It's time to leave this paradise
Hope the chip shop isn't closed
Cos' their pies are really nice
I'll eat in the taxi queue
Standing in someone else's spew
Wish I had lipstick on my shirt
Instead of piss stains on my shoes
I go out on Friday night and I come home on Saturday morning
I go out on Friday night and I come home on Saturday morning
I go out on Friday night and I come home on Saturday morning
I go out on Friday night and I come home on Saturday morning

Roy Cousins Riddims

Hi all, I posted some info on Roy Cousins dub albums last year and at least one whole person asked if I had a full list by riddim. So I've typed up the following. Still a work in progress but hopefully a help. Corrections, etc. welcomed.

First is the list of LPs and CDs I'm using for reference. Then the list, alphabetical by riddim name. Lots of question marks as I dread to think how many of these are foundation riddims that I've failed to identify!


Best wishes, Bee.

Yes, the Part I've Taken by Errol Davis is a cut to Free Speech & Movement by the Royals which you listed. Not sure which one came first though.


 Discogs says 1977 and 45cat 1978 for the Errol Davis, no writer credit though. The Royals Ten Years after LP is 79 with a writers credit to Roy Cousins. I wonder if anybody else has sung it?

Jah LIfe In Dub - Sound Quality Issues

Received this DKR release on CD today & man what a disappointment it's turned out to be.....

Several of the tracks have a very noticeable difference in the volume levels which makes listening to it on your home stereo a real pain in the butt as after playing one of the quieter tracks you are suddenly blasted by much louder volume of the next track - a bit like how TV commercials are often much louder than the actual TV show you have been watching.
Along with the volume issues track 5 - Collie Dub has some excruciating high pitch distortion making it painful to listen to.


For a record company to release an album with these problems just seems extremely sloppy to me as it is a simple process to get all the tracks at the same volume.

The LP version suffers from the same shoddy quality.

Not recommended.

The End of Ernie B's Reggae

For several decades myself and many others who suffer with the same affliction as I, have been getting our reggae medicine from Ernie B's Reggae in the US of A which was a wondrous mail order outlet, stocking about 99% of reggae music releases.
What made shopping at Ernie B's was their excellent customer service & the fact that if a piece of reggae music was issued anywhere in the world , nine times out of ten you'd find it at Ernie's.

Sadly over the last couple of years Ernie B's has slowly but surely drifted further & further from their reggae roots.

Where once you could find all the latest vinyl releases by the leading  reissue labels such as Pressure Sounds, Iroko Records, Onlyroots & Digikiller/Deeper Knowledge, now you'll find their latest release web-page filled with pop & rock artists.....meaning that now we collectors have to source our music from the UK or Europe at a huge increase in costs.

Surely not having a US mail order base for reggae will severely hamper these small niche reggae labels from reaching a wider audience?



Having nowhere in the US to buy from may well be the final nail in the coffin for collectors such as myself......
