V/A- STUDIO ONE DJ'S 2LP (soul jazz, uk)
24.98usd/15.37gbp/17.86eur/2322jpy (approx)

*shop favorite restocked… Soul Jazz Records are releasing the fourth journey into the vaults of Studio One Records, the legendary foundation label of Reggae, owned and founded by Sir Coxsone Dodd. For this release we return to the roots of Reggae music -- The Soundsystem. Throughout the late 1950s and 1960s Soundsystems such as Sir Coxsone's Downbeat and Duke Reid (the Trojan), Prince Buster, Tom the Great and King Edwards played throughout the city of Kingston, Jamaica. These Soundystems were the birthplace of much of Jamaica's musical culture -- Soundclashes, Dancehall and the idea of the Toaster who sang over records -- the DJ. As ever Clement 'Sir Coxsone' Dodd led the field, so for this release the focus is on DJ's at Studio One and features legendary toasters such as Denis Alcapone, Dillinger and Prince Far I as well as a host of rare material by lesser known artists. Also included is Count Machuki -- the original DJ -- the first man ever to speak over the mic at Sir Coxsone's Downbeat Sound System -- from where it all began. As Steve Barrow (author of The Rough Guide to Reggae/Blood and Fire Records) writes in the sleeve notes, Jamaican deejay music is the source for all Rap music: From Count Machuki talking over records on Sir Coxsone's legendary Downbeat Sound System the idea of recreating tried and tested rhythms with the DJ toasting over the top was taken into the studio to create a new style. This style would eventually travel to America when the Jamaican-born Kool Herc began playing at Block parties (a version of the Kingston Soundsystem parties) in the Bronx. Cutting up rare-groove classics for the first B-Boys to rap over, Hip-Hop was born and the DJ music that had started on the early Soundsystems of Kingston would go on to conquer the world! Studio One DJs (compiled by Mark Ainley) is the next in the series of releases where Soul Jazz Records are showcasing the music of Studio One, the label that literally defines Reggae.

Musical backing comes from the legendary in-house bands -- The Skatalites, The Sound Dimension, Soul Vendors and Soul Defenders -- who provide the classic Studio One rhythms. So influential in the history of reggae. As well as eighteen killer tracks the album comes with new sleevenotes by Steve Barrow (Blood and Fire/Rough Guide to Reggae) and photography by Dennis Morris making this another essential Studio One reggae release for connoisseurs of reggae and newcomers alike.

V/A- STUDIO ONE DUB 2LP (soul jazz, uk)
24.98usd/15.37gbp/17.86eur/2322jpy (approx)

*shop favorite restocked… This album features classic and rare Dub tracks from Studio One, many available for the first time in over thirty years. Studio One Dub includes the dubs of many classic tracks such as Horace Andy's 'Skylarkin', Johnny Osbourne's 'Truth and Rights', John Holt's 'Hooligan', Freddie McGregor's 'Bobby Bobylon' plus many more rare tracks. In short, this is an essential album! Studio One Records history in Dub is vast. Originating in the idea of the dub-plate as an exclusive for sound-system operators, this evolved into the version-side of singles that still exists for 99% of Dancehall singles today. The Dub/Version quickly evolved from being simply the instrumental to sonic experiments with bass, drums and the mixing desk. Many of these Dubs were created at Studio One by the great engineer Sylvan Morris. In the early 1970s, Clement 'Sir Coxsone' Dodd created a vast set of classic dubs in the Dub LP series under the alias of the Dub Specialist. Albums such as Roots Dub, Zodiac Sounds, Bionic Dub, Juk's Incorporation, African Rub-A-Dub were made for a new generation of young DJs/toasters to perform with at sound-systems. These consequently had a huge influence on the evolution of Dancehall in the second part of the 1970s. Originally released in lavish silk-screen covers, many of these Dub albums have gone on to become serious collectors pieces.

V/A- STUDIO ONE FUNK 2LP (soul jazz, uk)
24.98usd/15.37gbp/17.86eur/2322jpy (approx)

*shop favorite restocked… conceived and compiled by Soul Jazz Records and Clement 'Sir Coxsone' Dodd in Jamaica shortly before he died. The album is a first as it is compiled of mainly unreleased material from the vaults of Studio One. This CD shows how American Funk influenced Jamaican artists as heavily as Soul music had been an influence in the Rocksteady era and Rhythm and Blues in the Ska period. Studio One Funk features heavyweight Funk and Reggae from start to finish. Jackie Mittoo, Alton Ellis, Sound Dimension, Cedric Brooks, Jacob Miller and many more bring you classic original Reggae Funk from American funk anthems such as 'It's a Shame', 'Shaft', Booker T and The MG's' 'Melting Pot' and 'Hang Em High' to heavyweight versions of 'Beat Down Babylon', 'Skylarking', 'Westbound Train' and many more. Most of these tracks have never been released before making it an essential release for anyone interested in Reggae.

V/A- STUDIO ONE GROUPS 2LP (soul jazz, uk)
24.98usd/15.37gbp/17.86eur/2322jpy (approx)

*shop favorite restocked… featuring legendary groups from the foundation label of reggae. Bob Marley and The Wailers, Toots and the Maytals, The Heptones -- just three of reggae's greatest groups who all started at Clement Dodd's Studio One Records, 'The University of Reggae.' Studio One Groups brings together classic artists alongside lesser-known artists and covers Studio One's musical output from the 1960s and '70s featuring ska, roots, rocksteady, dub and more. Clement Dodd's role in launching and nurturing reggae groups/singers is unsurpassed. Launching Bob Marley and The Wailers' career also meant that Dodd both housed Marley in a flat at Studio One, and employed him to check new American 45s that came out for Studio One artists to cover. From vocal training under luminaries such as Horace Andy and Larry Marshall, to musical education (Leroy Sibbles, lead vocalist with the Heptones, became the key in-house bass player after being taught from scratch by Jackie Mittoo), Studio One's success was due to Clement Dodd's ability to see talent, surround himself with it and nurture artists. Careers were launched from even minor roles at Studio One, such as Lee Perry (from handyman to singer and producer), Prince Buster (from security to singer and producer), and so forth. Studio One Groups are at the heart of the label's success. The sweet three-part harmonies, so close to the heart of Jamaican music, can be heard throughout every stylistic change of reggae music -- ska, rocksteady, roots and beyond, all featured here. Featuring artists: The Wailing Souls, Righteous Flames, The Gaylads, The Bassies, The Mad Lads, The Clarendonians, The Consummates, Carlton and the Shoes, The Viceroys, The Maytals, The Heptones, The Royals, The Gladiators, Bob Marley and the Wailers, The Stingers, The Cables, The Ethiopians, The Purpleites and The Silvertones.

*shop favorite restocked… Lovingly compiled, this album features only the finest Lovers from Jamaica's finest label. From blues parties in London, Birmingham, Bristol etc., Lovers Rock quickly became one of the UK's finest-ever musical movements. Sweet harmonies, soulful reggae, love songs -- the key ingredients of Lovers Rock -- were all based on the revival of many of the classic rocksteady harmony groups of the late '60s and early '70s, such as The Heptones, Carlton and The Shoes, Larry & Alvin, The Paragons, that Clement 'Sir Coxsone' Dodd's Studio One and rival Duke Reid's Treasure Isle label produced hit after hit as they fought for dominance in the dancehalls of Kingston. As well as these classic harmony groups, this album also features fine contributions from many of the reggae greats -- Horace Andy, Alton Ellis, Bob Marley and The Wailers, Delroy Wilson -- all artists who became stars at the legendary Studio One Records which Chris Blackwell, founder of Island Records, describes as 'The University of Reggae.'

V/A- STUDIO ONE ROOTS VOL.3 2LP (soul jazz, uk)
24.98usd/15.37gbp/17.86eur/2322jpy (approx)

*shop favorite restocked… featuring a killer selection from the classic roots period at the foundation label of reggae. Roots music flourished in the 1970s as Rastafarianism, Black consciousness and self-determinization became the most important aspects of reggae music. Bolstered by the international success of Bob Marley and Burning Spear (both who began their careers at Studio One), roots music became the major musical development of reggae in the 1970s. Coxsone Dodd and Studio One's connection to Rastafarianism had begun long before the arrival of 'roots music' as a distinct genre that arrived at the very tail end of the 1960s. By the start of the 1960s, Coxsone Dodd was making his way to Count Ossie's Wareika Hills Rastafarian compound to hear Rastafarian drummers play whilst the Skatalites' front-line horns -- Tommy McCook, Don Drummond, Johnny Moore would jam alongside. Similarly, Count Ossie would appear during Sir Coxsone's dancehall sessions, performing live at the height of the evening. This is the third in the series of Rastafarian inspired music from Studio One, and features classic foundation artists alongside some seriously rare tracks from the label. With the involvement of the crack studio house bands -- be it the Sound Dimension, the Soul Defenders or the Brentford Road All-Stars -- as well as Clement Dodd and Studio One's seriously high quality control, these tracks are all a healthy addition to the pantheon of roots music at Studio One.

26.98usd/16.60gbp/19.29eur/2508jpy (approx)

V/A- STUDIO ONE SKA 2LP (soul jazz, uk)
24.98usd/15.37gbp/17.86eur/2322jpy (approx)

*shop favorite restocked… Studio One Records and it's in-house band The Skatalites defined ska music and made Jamaican music famous throughout the world. This compilation features classic vocal and instrumental tracks from The Skatalites, Bob Marley and The Wailers, Delroy Wilson alongside super-rare tracks from the likes of Ken Boothe, The Maytals, Jackie Mittoo, Tommy McCook and many more. Independence came to Jamaica in 1962. The musical soundtrack to this era was the upbeat, energized ska, the first truly Jamaican music. ska music and Studio One are synonymous with each other. Whilst ska was only one style of Reggae that Coxsone Dodd and Studio One Records would release in it's forty year history -- with Rocksteady, Roots, Dancehall, Dub and much more still to come -- ska was the first and defined Jamaican music as having it's own identity throughout the world. The inspiration for the rhythm of ska came from the Southern US Rhythm and Blues records of the 1950s. Coxsone Dodd had initially encountered this music while working as a migrant farm worker in Florida. It was here that he first decided to start a Soundsystem on returning to Jamaica and began importing R'n'B records that would soon become the staple musical sound of any Kingston dance. The main R'n'B artists of the day were Roscoe Gordon, Wynonie Harris, Amos Milburn, Fats Domino, Louis Jordan. Listening back to these records it is possible to hear the roots of this new Jamaican sound.
Young artists such as The Wailers, The Ethiopians, The Maytals and Delroy Wilson all began their careers making joyous uptemposkaa at Studio One. The group that accompanied all these artists were The Skatalites. The Skatalites were Tommy McCook, Roland Alphonso (tenor saxes), Lester Sterling (alto sax), Don Drummond (trombone), Johnny Moore (trumpet), Jackie Mittoo (piano), Jah Jerry (guitar), Lloyd Brevett (bass) and Lloyd Knibbs (drums). Whilstskaa music became easily identifiable by playing on the off-beat (usually the piano and guitar) The Skatalites brought their wide influences into the music.skaa could include Modal Jazz, Pop, Jump Up R'n'B, Rastafarian and Burro music, US Western and film soundtracks, Easy Listening and even classical music. Consequently this CD includes proto-Rastafarian music such as Don Drummond's 'Addis Ababa' alongside interpretations of UK mod songs (El President is based on Georgie Fame's 'Yeh Yeh').You will also find Latin-tinged tunes such as 'Don Cosmic', jump-up Gospelskaa from the Maytals, Eastern-flavoured modal instrumentals such as 'El Bang Bang' . The young singers who The Skatalites backed in turn also brought their own influences into the music. The youthful Rude Boy culture became the lyrical subject of manyskaa songs whether you were for them or against them. By 1965skaa music was over. The musical mood of the country was changing. Independence had brought Jamaica a new set of issues and the music had to reflect this, heralding the arrival of Rocksteady, which had a slower beat and was based on the emerging Soul music of American artists such as Curtis Mayfield. In 1965 The Skatalites split-up to form two new groups -- The Soul Brothers who became the new house-band at Studio One and Tommy McCook and the Supersonics who moved over to rival Duke Reid's new Treasure Isle studio.skaa, however, had made it's mark and Jamaican music was now known throughout the world. And despite the brevity of their time together (just over a year!) The Skatalites left behind a legacy of literally hundreds of classic recordings.

V/A- STUDIO ONE SOUL 2LP (soul jazz, uk)
24.98usd/15.37gbp/17.86eur/2322jpy (approx)

*shop favorite restocked… More classic Reggae from Jamaica's most important label ever! Following on from Studio One Rockers, this second journey into the vaults of Studio One tells the story of the important link between American Funk and Soul and Jamaican Reggae. Ranging from music taken from the mid-1960s (and the arrival of rock steady) through to the beginning of the 1980's, Studio One Soul features versions of US Funk and Soul hits (many rarely heard before) from some of the many classic artists who recorded at Studio One. American Soul music has always been an important influence on Jamaican Reggae. The beginning of the Jamaican recording industry at the end of the 1950s started with Clement 'Coxsone' Dodd (owner of Studio One) and a group of select in-house musicians (originally The Skatalites) recording their own version of American R'n'B . Playing on the off-beat this music became ska and a new music was born. As American R'n'B progressed through Funk, Soul and Disco, Jamaican music was going through it's own musical changes from rock steady through to Reggae and Roots music. The house-band at Studio One known variously as The Skatalites, The Sound Dimension, The Soul Vendors, The Brentford All Stars and The Brentford Disco Set recorded on a daily basis behind all Studio One vocalists as well as recording instrumentally in their own right. These musicians are as important to the development of Jamaican music as were the equivalent musicians at Motown, Stax, Muscle Shoals and Philadelphia International in the US. Some of the main musicians were Jackie Mittoo (Keyboards), Pablove Black (Keyboards), Roland Alphonso (Sax), Lloyd Brevett(Bass), Leroy Sibbles(Bass), Johnny Moore (Trumpet), Lloyd Knibbs (Drums) and Leroy 'Horsemouth' Wallace(Drums). Soul singers such as Curtis Mayfield and The Impressions (Queen Of The Minstrels) had a profound influence on Jamaican artists and many other US artists were constantly re-interpreted and re-worked. Artists such as Aretha Franklin (Respect), Charles Wright (Express Yourself), King Floyd (Groove Me), Otis Redding (How Strong) were all very popular in Jamaica in the 1960s. At the end of the 1960s Black Consciousness became an important part of American Soul music. At the same time many Jamaican artists were starting to look to their roots. Many artists would shortly become involved in Rastafarianism. The 'conscious' lyrics of American Funk and Soul again struck a chord with Jamaican artists. 'Message From A Blackman' (originally by The Temptations), 'Is It Because I Am Black' (Syl Johnson) are examples of this. Through the 1970s Soul/Disco artists such Barry White ('Can't Get Enough' and 'Deeper and Deeper') and The Detroit Spinners ('I'll Be Around') became the flavor of the day.

*shop favorite restocked… The only member once again brings the heat! This time pairing the high energy disco of Sylvester and '80s German techno group, Two Of China, remaking Dangerous Liasons' 'Los Ninos Del Parque.' Remake of a remake. 'U R A Star' a 13 minute edit epic; 130+ BPMs of adrenaline. The track is sped up just a bit from the original, with vocal parts and strings spliced, looped and laid right on top of each other to extend the hype. Then, feed the whole two channel track through a flanger. On the flip, more of the same, minus the now-cheesy vocals of the original vocal version. The beats are still fresh today, though. Beats taken from the vocal and instrumental version put through the Member's blender.

MAELSTROM- ENTER THE COSMOS 12” (solardisco, uk)
11.98usd/7.37gbp/8.56eur/1113jpy (approx)

*shop favorite restocked… Hot on the heels of Edits EP#1 and with his Mindless Boogie release currently doing the rounds, Maelstrom drops his debut original production (well, sort of). Fast becoming one to watch, these remixes look to cement the arrival of Solardisco and, indeed, Maelstrom whose fan-base is growing by the minute. Pete Herbert really needs no introduction. As L.S.B he gave us the infectious 'F.O.G.' and 'Original Highway Delight,' as Reverso 68, 'Tokyo Disco' and 'Piece Together,' while, more recently, his Disco Deviance release has been carving up dancefloors worldwide. On the flip and already aired on Tim Sweeney's Beats In Space show with support from the usual suspects on the nu-disco scene, the Sankt Gøran & Erik Sidung mix has the potential to be this year's big crossover smash. Fusing said disco sound with some great Italo piano hooks, this will be soundtracking the summer for many a DJ! (again)…
