An absolute must have for every 80’s & 90’s dancehall lovers out there. UU Madoo singing velvety on Skeeter Davis’ all time classic “End Of The Road” then Captain Barkey comes in to hype up every verse ? one of the best examples of how much singer & deejay combination can work well together!
Power House 1985

Burro Banton - Praise Up Jah Jah

¥1280 (US$8.45)
Another extremely rare take to the identical title released on Wild Apache that is known for being played by the mighty Jah Shaka at his sessions. Comparing to the other Stereo One tunes released around the same time, this one is really fantastic and luring, also complimented by refined deejaying Burro Banton. This one will stand as the definition of heavy weight ragga!

Aubley Williams, His Orchestra - String Of Pearls / Granville Williams Orch. - Third Man Theme
GWO / Dub Store Records JPN 1965
¥1980 (US$13.07)
A wonderful, previously unreleased Jamaican Ska in one and only jazzy big band style. The length of this recording is slightly longer and all the solo parts are brightly emphasized. A rare piece with an adventurous development which is not quite typical for Jamaican music. A very fine Ska beat on the flip showcasing their original musicality. Also it is nice to see the appearance of Ernest Ranglin on both sides.

Prince Jammys Dub / Dub Store Records JPN 1986
¥1980 (US$13.07)
You might have seen Jammy playing this devastating sound killer in sessions lately, although before that this Nitty Gritty on Jammy’s ‘Tempo’ has only been heard on dubplates. No one knows why it never came out ? is it because it was a counteraction to Tubby? Or tune that was the lethal weapon of Jammy? There is nothing we can do but imagine those pictures when listening to the intense energy and impact of this tune.
