Jah Dynasty / Digikiller / Deeper Knowledge US
¥2180 (US$14.08)
"Dreadlocks I" was done at the Black Ark, and this 10-inch reissue includes the vocal & dub from the original 45, plus a second, wild Lee Perry mixed dub of an aborted do-over of the tune (for which the vocal version is sadly lost).
Don Carlos, Soul Syndicate - Black Harmony / Black Love
Rawse / Digikiller / Deeper Knowledge US 1976
¥1680 (US$10.85)
A long time in the making, part one of a new series of reissues produced by the great Lloyd "Bullwackie" Barnes. So many Wackie's productions are long among our personal favorites, and some helped introduce us to the wonderful world of Jamaican music. We'll be issuing many now hard to find singles as well as some previously LP-only tracks and other surprises! Our first selection of singles all appear, of course, on their original labels. An NYC/JA collaboration with Wackie's producing an early tune by Don Carlos, originally credited as 'Jah Carlos', over a tough Soul Syndicate rhythm. This one is on the Rawse label.
Keithus I, Voices Of The Trinity - Save The Children / Dub
Jah Dynasty / Digikiller / Deeper Knowledge US 197-
¥1180 ¥1980 (US$12.79)
"Save the Children" is prime '70s roots, killer horns, militant riddim, wailing vocals.
Kiddus I - Graduation In Zion (Cheer Up) / Graduration In Zion Version
Shepherd / Dub Store Records JPN 1985
¥2580 (US$16.67)
Horace Ferguson - Reality; Dub / Youthman; Dub
Channel One / Digikiller / Deeper Knowledge US
N/A
The Channel 1 Lost & Found series of previously unreleased music continues with more killer ten inches. Two heavy shots from Horace Ferguson. Before hitting with "Sensi Addict" for Prince Jazzbo, Horace Ferguson voiced some tunes for Channel 1, like "Fever" and "Walk Out On Me", both of which were issued on 12"s on CH1's JEDI imprint. However, there was more on tape, and how these two bombs didn't end up on release, we don't know, but here they are now. Strictly early 1980's reality style, again in a heavy style that bears the hallmarks of the Roots Radics/Scientist combination. Both tunes with dubs.
Horace Andy - Children Of Israel / Augustus Pablo - Pablo In Dub
Pressure Sounds UK 1975
¥1680 (US$10.85)
Stephaine Samuels - Africa We Want To Go / Dub
Channel One / Digikiller / Deeper Knowledge US 1978
N/A
Stephanie Samuels 'Africa We Want to Go', beautiful one-away deep roots with birdsong, truly mystical tune.
Linval Thompson - River Jordan / Jordan Version
Roots From The Yard (Org) 1977
Info: Original Press
N/A
Junior Murvin - Rescue Jah Children / Instrumental Dub Version
Wild Flower / Dub Store Records JPN 1976
N/A
This tune was the second Roots tune recorded by Junior Murvin after his first 1974 masterpiece. With different dynamics, this great track was also highly sought after, and considering this tune as one of his few recordings during the period, it should be recognized as an important record and a true masterpiece.
Clive Matthews - Am Going Home / Hop Ki Do Skank Version
Fox Fire / Digikiller / Deeper Knowledge US 1978
N/A
'Am Going Home', is the third and final cut on the legendary rhythm also employed for Clive's 'Apology' and Trevor's 'Tell Me That You Love Me', both of which were released (and still available!) in our first and previous set of FOX FIRE tunes. 'Am Going Home' is just as killer as those two, and has its own unique dub side, different to either of the others, called 'Hop Ki Do Skank'!
